    No, pagan played 143 games for North and South Melbourne. That was a brain fade by BT referring to Fagan as Pagan…

    On the back of Daisy Thomas being referring to as Daisy Pearce at the start of the game

    Ashcroft has been impressive. Andrews was good when the Swans were trying to play early. But as others have said, Neale is likely to get the Norm Smith.

    Omg do u think BT could get ANYTHING right in his commentary. 

    He is like the weather reporters who say the wrong thing but still has a job. Unbelievable. 

    At  least he has stopped banging on about the wind and players aiming for the left post on every shot ..

    That would have gone down well. Was that BT? Also Daisy hasn't been on 7 all year

    “He never plays outside his capabilities.” These are the insights that have me still watching the game. 🤣

    I’d be amazed if someone ever played outside of what they were capable of 😁

    For Sydney to lose like this again tells me it’s an MCG thing. They can clog up their home ground and then keep contesting it forward. Sydney in this game clogged up the middle but left a Brisbane player or two last on defensive line and also offensive line. Same as Geelong and GWS last few weeks just kept kicking it to Starcevic. No numbers running forward all getting ready to defend midfield.

    Dang - how the hell did you end up with us sad sacks then? 🙃

    I've been watching the second half and getting that unnerving sense that this Brisbane side is player-by-player that little bit bigger and stronger than their opponents all over the ground.

    Hopefully that's just a reflection of Sydney's wilting performance because with even more goid F-S prospects coming and ongoing academy benefits, their list has plenty of renewal coming.

    Yep - despite them saying the ground is almost as big as the mcg now... it still is a postage stamp. The 50 (if it is legitimate these days) is still so close the smaller centre square. That ground and kardinia park belong in 16 a side vfa... they're not compatible with modern footy

    Ashcroft making a good run at it.

    He's the player they missed last year especially in those finals

    Amazing from the Lions to win the flag, given their poor start to the year and that they were down by 44 points against the Giants only 2 weeks ago.

    Delighted to see Conor McKenna get to play. No pressure on him in this game. He is the second player to do the double - Gaelic Football and Aussie Rules.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
