    Kentfield has done nothing. After watching this game I know know why we went last night without a reserve ruckman. A poor lot by any measure.

    Yep. baffling draft choice IMO. project player way off it at the moment when there was ample ready made depth available

    Yes but Fullarton was recruited primarily as a back up ruck to Gawn. He is a mile off it. As a ruck rover type he has been good so far today but that is a bit of an outlier. JVR and Petty are stronger in the ruck than him.

    there's always room for another ruck-rover-mid type

    i think fullarton was recruited as a back-up to jvr

    tall forward who can relief ruck as required

    you wouldn't pick him over jvr nor petty or turner either based upon this year's standard of play

    Would be nice if Casey could have someone in their forward line. Have lost count of the number of times they've had an empty 50

    And who does he replace? He Waa not recruited for that role anyway. We're desperate for a genuine back up ruck.

    Laurie looks good - would like to see him replace Sparrow 

    I wouldn't chook. He is a VFL player.  NQR at senior level.

    And I do wonder if he can play the role We are making sparrow play better than sparrow?

    Stats don’t look great, but agreed that a) I’d play him again in the vfl this year and b) there is a rookie spot for him.

    I'd prefer to see Pup Brown rather than Bailey get a proper run in the seniors rather than just get splinters in his rrrse.

    • 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?
