That was the most satisfying non Dee’s win of the year

    Unlike Daicos senior, who carries on like a two bob watch in a kind of look-at-me way when one of his kids does anything, Darcy senior behaved like a mature and serious observer of the game when his son put a dagger through the Magpies' black hearts.

    I loved everything Darcy junior did last night, from hitting Maynard to sealing the win. He is going to be one heck of a player and there will be a time when he gives us cause to hate him, so when that time comes I'll need to remember this game as consolation.

    Excellent observation.

    Luke Darcy seems to understand its Sam's turn now and quietly revels in it. He doesn't probably need to live vicariously through his children.

    Daicos snr is just a bit weird. Not a bad thing but overexposure is beckoning.

    Maybe Luke's got just a bit more on his plate than Peter?

    Daicos boys are first rate anyway but in the last 1/4 It looked like Beveridge had a plan for Nick to curb influence at critical times.

    But wasn’t Luke there working and Peter was in a corporate box on the juice? If my kid was winning games of AFL of his own boot I’d carry on however I like

    I know we moan on missing players in the draft (ie Curnow/Weidmann).

    But poor St Kilda must cry every time they see Bont, he’s an absolute gun (they picked Billings).

    And McCartin before Trac.

    Glad Maynard didn’t get knocked this game and will be playing against us. Jack over to you now to do with him as you wish.

    Someone must have been up all night.

    Or is it a case of a very wishful-thinking 'Here's one I prepared earlier'?

    Pretty amazing contested game from Nick Daicos. Any small lingering doubt about his work in this area, now completely dispelled. He's a tremendous player.

    Geez Darcy is a player. He looks more composed that JUH and more consistent already. 

    Is it possible to just laud another player without denigrating one of ours ?

    Due to my personal calendar and the footy fixture, I have watched a number of Bulldogs games this year. Over the past 4 weeks I have been impressed with their both method and form. And some of their young players are emerging quickly. They still have some defensive issues and the forward set up is messy at times, but they are going to cause some issues for those trying to get top eight positions 6,7, and 8. 

    I love the look of Sanders, O'Donnell and Darcy.

    Agree 100%.  They are a quality side playing high class footy. If they get the timing right they could very well threaten at the business end.

    If he stopped throwing his head back, lifting his arms when he gets tackled and sooking to the umpires all the time he would be enjoyable to watch

    I mean Ugle-Hagan STILL hasn’t kicked a goal for us so I think it’s deserved?

    • 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?
