We did what we had to when required, in the face of a scruffy opposition and hot and cold umpiring. Trac, however, was consistently a class above.

A win is a win is a win and a strong finish is what good teams do.

PS  I think the Fox commentators may have given Hawthorn the 4 points !

    What team can lose their two best defenders and not even blink

    Petracca has moved up a level somehow. BOG by a mile

    Hawks chip, chip, chip and we still had 20+ more tackles. 
    Trac’s work rate was off the charts.

    Go you Demons !!!

    Great win all things considered. Disco Turner may need to step up

    One of the more complete games you'll see from Christian Petracca. 29 touches 7 clearances, a goal, 11 score involvements.

    And that effort tracking back to spoil! The game was done and dusted be he wasn't!

    Lever said not a whole lot about what's up with his knee, getting a scan, maybe a week or two.  He's more worried about May.

    I missed the game. How bad were the injuries?

    May went to hospital at half time. Looks like he broke some ribs. Lever said he has something with his knee cap, it doesn’t sound mega serious but might miss some games. Petty swung back and looked like he’d never left.

    5 star Fritschy. Kossie all class.

    Petty moved well and showed no ill effects. great to see

    Trac was immense. clarry excellent as well

    hope May ok but looks like broken ribs which will be 6-8 if confirmed.

    love beating the Hawks. 6 years and counting.

    I think our ball movement has taken a massive step forward. Using different angles to get those handballs to running players and trying to get through the middle more. Looking good!

    Great win considering our injuries and a very annoying opponent…we look much classier with our ball use so far this season

    Disco is injured. Not too worried with Petty, TMac, Hore and Tommo to cover. Hore can play that interceptor role

    What's Gerald Healy's problem? Did we push him out or something?

    Also, currently searching online for a novelty jumbo sombrero to eat re. Tomald showing composure and restraint down back.

    The Hawks kicked one goal with May and Lever off the ground 

    At Halftime they would have given themselves a sniff 

    Jimmy Stynes played with Broken Ribs….

    • 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?
