Go Saints.

Without knowing what will transpire tomorrow, I think St Kilda winning would be bad for us.

    Lions kicking for goal very poor. Could be one of those games for them.

    The opposite actually. If the saints win then sydney can't move up from 7th.  Unless they beat us by 10 goals and the blues lose by 10 but hard to see that happening.

    I was thinking more along the lines of Port/Melbourne winning tomorrow. We’d have to travel against an inform Port. I’d prefer a flaky Collingwood at the G.

    But if Port lose and we win, then we’re hosting a final.

    It’s a difficult day.

    Brisbane lose

    Melbourne win and Port win - we play Port in Adelaide

    Melbourne win and Port lose - we claim 2nd spot and a home final vs Lions.

    I just want it to get to the Port match with top 2 still in play. Would suck if it ended right now.

    Gee lions making hard work of it.    How different if it playing during the day in Brassie compared to a slippery night game.

    We've got 4th locked regardless of any other results this round.

    Dead rubber v swans. Use tomorrow's game to experiment fwd and down back. 

    A win is great . Lose ? Who cares. Stay away from the Gabba. They'll be kicking goals blindfolded in the QF . Todays goal kicking mess is irrelevant.

    Wow, just wow. Brad Hill has a chance for a massive breakaway, doesn't handball, somehow finds himself in a htb tackle, back the other way and Daniher goal. 

    Kayfabe of WWE standards.

    St Kilda winning and us winning gives us a home final against Brisbane.

    Edit: I am wrong.

    Need Port to lose also.

    You could fool me that St Kilda are a finals team. Sure they are frustrating them with good defensive structure but where's the execution? Can't generate any scoring shots and look like they panic when making that final kick into 50. 

    Plenty of teams would be putting Brisbane to the sword for missing those chances but not the Saints. Blinkers central.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
