Tigers dominating the centre clearances.

And smashing them in contested possessions also.

    The Tiges need to play body-to-body more, and to nominate an backline interceptor like Lever. McKay and Curnow are being given a run and jump at too many balls. 

    Blues getting murdered at ground level. Taranto, Green and Dusty tearing them to pieces.

    Not to make the non-MFC thread about us, but the speed teams are playing at this season is worrying.

    I don't think we've got the capacity to adapt to this with our list and gameplan. Might be a long one this year.

    Curnow is just so enjoyable to watch. Will be an all time great. A true KPF.

    Blues as good as they are offensively as they never win a flag without another KPD.

    Haven't capitalized on it though.

    Thought the Tiges held em off very well considering the time in possession & number of entries i50

    Poor conversion by the Blues. I hope they rue their poor goal kicking at the end of the game.

    He actually could be so much better. He's got very little craft or tact - he's all athleticism, footy IQ and skill. Obviously still enough to be just about the best forward in the comp but if you watch closely there's a lot he doesn't quite do that well

    Close game but not the best quality.

    Blues run forward of the ball way too much, Tigers get them on the counter when being a tad more defensive would help the Baggers (Not Goody level defensive).

    Tigers hanging in when they shouldn’t be, Carlton too busy thinking they are world beaters.

    More scuttlebutt about Petty going to the croweaters next year.

    We can't even get him on the park.

    Is it open season on Dees players?

    At that size, to move the way he does, is just freakish. His marks stick and has great kicking technique. Takes the very best to take him out of the game.

    The half time reporter from Adelaide just said that Harrison Petty is almost certain to be wearing Crows jumper next season.

    • 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?
