    So we were in the top 4 race with six weeks left, we were in the finals race until about a fortnight ago, and somehow we end up with pick 5. All it took was for us to blow a meaningless game and a couple more results to go our way. Jack Higgins may have single handedly revived us! You beauty. And we get some delicious Blues tears for dessert. Great finish to the year!

    So we just finished 14th. 

    To be honest, I hate seeing us that low on the ladder. 

    But if you’re going to have a down year (and let’s hope it’s just one year down), may as well make it as bad as possible. Getting pick 5 after being in the finals race with 3-4 games to play has its upside.

    Best ending to a game this season!

    We might have missed finals but it's great to see Collingwood, Essendon and (hopefully) Carlton sharing the pain.

    Reminds me of a few years ago when we had to beat Collingwood in the final game to make the 8 (we lost) but still had a chance if West Coast won after us (they lost).

    And The filth ended ninth.

    Perfect ending.

    I just don’t reckon the Dees would have fought that hard if we were in the Saints place. Very impressive given nothing but pride on the line. 

    There was that last round game in 2020 was it? Where we put everything on the line and we were all super proud of the ‘new Dees’, but we so often capitulate in those kind of games…

    Higgins goal very much like Kossie in Round 22 2022. Even better was it happened to Carlton again in Round 23.

    Welcome to demonland pick 5

    Suns do the business

    Ditto Saints.

    Our inability to hit a target inside 50 does the rest.

    Hello pick 5.

    Pick 5 changes the Houston dynamic from our perspective.

    That's a high pick in what is apparently a strong top 10 or so in the draft (though how often do they some variation of that).

    Not sure. 
    Might have to ask my mates who go for Ess, Carl, Tiges etc. 
    Specialists in fighting over position 9-18. (After being in finals contention)

    Picked the blues but barracking for sainters.  I remember last year they were losing all game you heard nothing we panicked in the last two minutes   Gifted them the game and they celebrate as if they were champions all blooody day

    I'm surprised a Carlton player didn't claim they touched it

    Interesting that the commentators who made such a fuss about the free kick count when it favoured st Kilda said nothing when it was almost even at the end. Even BT’s arithmetic skills would show there must have been a similar ‘bias’ to make it even at the end

    As it first came off the boot, I really thought it wouldn't make the distance

    Actually, the only thing better than that result would’ve been:
    Saints, to win by 150 points (roughly),

    Putting the filth into pos 8 (briefly)

    Then

    Freo and Port to draw 😈😈

    We'd have lost by 10 goals

    OH WHEN THE SAINTS!!

    Firstly I'd like to thank trusty Kayo. Was watching on 20 minute delay and was at that last boundary throw in with 30 seconds left and then it suddenly flashed forward to 5 mins after the game. Like having an orgasm stolen.

    • 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?
