The Demon Man is the only thing keeping me engaged in tennis this year, everyone else seems more intent on off court dramas that it’s turned the AO into the Grand Slam version of Married at First Sight - everyone more interested in creating drama for [censored] and giggles that we’ve all forgotten what the whole point of the event is. 

It's like watching a continuous week of Tom Morris and fox footy. Dramadramadrama.

    Is it just me?

    Am I unpatriotic?

    I don't know what anyone's talking about.

    Typical crude comment 

    asking the GOAT to leave 

    Tony Jones should be stood down. 

    If Tony Jones made a joke about me and I'd won what Joker had won I wouldn't even waste my time laughing it off. I mean Tony Jones?? The guy couldn't be more of a washed up light weight if he tried. Isn't he on the 9 footy show so the other clowns can take the [censored] out of him? It just goes to show how precious the Joker is.

    The only thing worse than Tennis is the entitled brats that play the game these days

    Throwing tantrums if they get a call against them. Probably a reason they didn't play team sports

    (Of course there are exceptions)

    Just watching the women's final.

    I'm really appreciating the commentary.

    Just having two ex players giving great explanations of the player's tactics and techniques without hyperbole and shouting.

    I just can't understand why the AFL broadcasters can't do the same.

    We really miss out on game plans and in depth tactics of teams and players with the coverage we get.

    And a tremendous final with Madison Keys finally winning a grand slam singles tournament.  That's after winning a thrilling SF against Iga Swiatek

    What stands out most is how hard they hit the ball and constantly trying to hit winners ... great tennis

    As for the Sinner/ Zverev final tomorrow, if Sinner is at his best, he'll win.  Doesn't have an obvious weakness and is methodically great with a dominant serve

    And his cross-court forehand is just power-laden

    • 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.
