Turner 4 goals, Van Rooyen and Petty both 3 goals each. Not a bad return from our key forwards!

    Best performance for the year. Really liked how we've moved the ball today. Let's take leaf out of today's performance and move it into next year.

    Question will be should we have played this mid mix a long time ago. Suns are no walk over in the middle. 

    Edited by Gawndy the Great


    Definitely one by of the games of the year, why couldn’t they play with this enthusiasm against west coast or Fremantle 

     

    This is what footy is about. Winning clearances, hard running, sun shining, the red and blue colours glistening in it etc

    Have we been carrying Oliver all year, we look to have so much more run without him out there 

    Yes, but not just the run but also the ball winning.

    Viney as the main ball winner and Rivers the second is a great balance. Surrounded by runners.

    Viney and Oliver have spent most of the year fighting over the same footy then providing no run for each other.

    Kolt is going to hate the review of this game. It’s good for him to be out there, but he’s made some poor decisions.

    Yeah, but overall he has been a solid contributor today!

    Outstanding, we have totally destroyed the Suns on their home turf, in very hot conditions. Now leave us alone you feral journalists, and let us develop our young players, get our injured players fixed right.

    Dare I say it, Billings had been solid today. Definitely played his role.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
