Live ladder has cats second on 28 points, with their percentage dropping to 112.5.

We are 24 points on 121.1%.

Keep going suns.

This has now actually become a pretty big game for us. 

Cats could end up losing 10% plus. Say we add 3 or 4%.

We finish tge round equal points with the cats, and 13% plus clear.

And the blues play the swans at the scg.

The blues are also on 24 points but are only on 109%

If the blues lose, we could be a game and 15% plus clear of them.

That's a big gap for the blues to fall behind us 

Dogs beating the giants would be the cherry on top.

    The live ladder is making me feel a lot better about missing out on the 4 points last week, but I’m also feeling ever so slightly less chuffed about beating this rabble (I know they’re missing a few from the team that played us).

    Best viewing of the night will be Scott chewing through a [censored] sandwich in the post match. He’ll be fuming 😂

    a pulled hammy or 2 for the cats would be the icing on the cake here

    Just heard there’s a virus going through the Cats squad. First felt symptoms against the Dees  few weeks back.

    Cameron doesn’t have concussion but full bout of this unknown virus. Initial symptoms vary but all players reporting feeling a bit “off” within hours of being exposed to the pathogen. 

    They all look very sweaty and fatigued right now. As does the coach

    Won't be many pumping up the cats strategy of managing players after the last three games.

    Back fired on them big time, had an incredibly (AFL only) gifted draw back in 22 to execute the resting regime.

    Five highest ranked players are Suns. Holmes next. My guess is that Holmes will get at least 4 coaches’ votes (all from Scott).

    I used to be very judgemental about what young men did with their hair, but now I just think ‘do it all young man. One day you’ll have very few options’.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
