    Once again a late call by the ump means we play on and take the “advantage” which turns out to be the opposite of to advantage. FFS I hate that rule

    First qtr thoughts. 
    Trac looks off.

    Fritta doesn’t look like he has missed. 
    we have been sloppy but got better as the qtr went on.

    Going by 1st qtr no idea still why Turner replaced Thommo.

    Melksham and Kozzie look lively.

    I want to see how many minutes Trac has spent on ball this quarter. My guess is less than 5

    This has the stench of the AFL doing everything they can to get a final played in Sydney.

    Yep, there's already a load of smoke beaming up from AFL House.

    Petracca continuing on his poor form from last week.

    He's checked out since Oliver is back, very worrying

    Why not call it back when it’s obvious there was no advantage. Should be in the rule book

    Boweys form not great heading into finals 

    Surely Hibberd comes in for Bowey & Hunter’s possessions are ineffective & his tackles are like powder puffs

    It's a joke. Such an infuriating rule. E

    Often either turns out not to he an advantage, or in the event every just stops, an unfair disadvantage to the team the free has been paid against.

    I wonder when a side will man up after a point against sides, shut it down instead of letting it out.  If you look down the ground after a swans point every player is up around the midfield area, pull players back have less congestion and allow players to run onto it or over the back.

    • 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?
