I can’t go for Essendon to win, I’m still recovering from the last time I did this. It was in 2021 and Essendon winning was beneficial for us. At one point though, I heard myself whisper, “Go Jake (Stringer)” and I knew it was only a matter of time before I’d be saying, “Go Jakey!” and there’s no coming back from that. 

I would need to shower in disinfectant if I uttered those words 😬

    I did see my GP but apparently having one’s tongue cut out isn’t a thing in this part of the world.

    I hope the Demons players/coaching staff watched the GC/filth last quarter. There would be some serious learnings there.

    Huh?

    Good to see the Trac incident didn’t have any effect on Moore- still only too happy to put his knee into another players back. 

    Yes interesting that everyone has a duty of care these days. If you choose to bump and get them high you are in trouble, if you tackle you have a duty to the welfare of the player you tackle. But if you drive your flexed knee into the stationary, unsuspecting player in front of you on their blind side and smash their ribs and worse that’s OK it’s just part of footy apparently! I just hope Moore gets some reciprocal treatment from someone. Surely the AFL key forward fraternity would be noting this reckless behaviour and be thinking I better get him before he gets me?

    I thought that Gresham and Billings were the same person.

    Given that they aren't, I think we would have been better off with Gresham.

    They’ll get weeks if they do.

    I didn't watch the game but now that Collingwood have lost it'll be funny to watch Maynard staging. Does anyone remember roughly what time of the game it was?

    Maynard in the middle of all the fiery action
    https://www.afl.com.au/video/1160030

    You can see it here. Not a single media person has mentioned it though.

    Hit in top left chest, falls like he's been winded with a gut punch and then holds his head on the ground. Not a peep from the commentators.

    Good to see opposition fans in social media having a crack at Maynard & his staging. It gets the pies fans riled up

    I’ll eat my shoe if the AFL fines their darling thug

    Not only is he a thug, he’s also one of the weakest cowards in the competition. Always hitting opponents when they’re not looking and then flopping when he gets anything coming back. 
    A bigger piece of [censored] you won’t find in the game. I truly wish a speedy end to this bog ordinary career.

    Maynard won’t get fined as it’s exaggerated contact. The AFL hasn’t admitted to itself that this exists in the game. Zero chance Maynard even gets looked at

    May got fined as he pretended he hit his head on the ground. He didn’t exaggerate contact that was made

    Yeah but if the giants won they'd pass Collingwood on the ladder

    What’s the difference? Both is about trying to get a free kick when one isn’t warranted.

    Theres a chance we replace the bombers in the 8 in two weeks time. Worst top 8 team currently.

    I was having a look at the run home and yikes what an epic winning streak we are about to have! Six of our remaining eight games will be proverbial 8-point games against other teams in the traffic jam, with only the Eagles and Dockers either definitely in or definitely out.

    Meanwhile, Magpies are basically done travelling for the season now. It is all MCG except for one game at the SCG. BUT with their faltering form and with a finish against the Blues, Swans, Lions and Demons, they may yet drop out of the 8 as fast as Maynard dropping for a free.

    • 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?
