From a match report 

“James Jordon impressed with 26 disposals and a fourth-quarter goal playing on-ball. He could prove an important player in Sydney’s midfield mix if Gulden is forced to miss a chunk of time.”

    Now Errols expected to miss months. A huge blow to the swans

    can we forfeit tomorrow?

    i mean, we tend to have done effectively that the last few times we've played flagmantle, so why not just do it completely this time around?

    My son played on him as an under 14, when Errol played for Maroubra (I think it was), where his dad was the coach. You could see he was going to be something special, but he was, at that time, as most coaches’ sons seemed to be, a bit of a scumbag.

    He has developed into a great player and a great role model, so I really do genuinely wish him a speedy and full recovery.

    On the contrary, the Carlton jerk off is well and truly underway.

    As per the insane media reaction to PRACTICE matches thus far without rhyme or reason, let’s anoint Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon as joint February/March premiers.  🤣😂

    God, I hope Curnow’s injury is at the point where he can never get back to his best on top of Smith and Newman injury to complete derail their seasons from 2025 and beyond. Can’t stand this team.

    If there is a team and a set of supporters that deserves the longest premiership drought in the league, it’s them. Hope St Kilda and Fremantle get one soon.

    Your right, it is truly amazing 

    I listen to the latest St Kilda President and it’s just not going to happen,

    I grew up in St Kilda territory, Moorabbin could be a fearsome place at times, I would go there with school mates and wear a Saints scarf for protection!!!

    But they have always been 1 foot away from the Cliff

    It really is amazing that they pull any crowd or Membership. 
    We have had very lean times as well, i am not forgetting that, but we go into Season 2025 chasing number 14…

    Meanwhile at St Kilda…..

    Took a few clients to the Aints intra-club praccie game a few weeks ago. Wasn’t close to being a high standard, so not surprised that they got pantsed yesterday. They definitely need to work on one or two things.

    Been watching H. Reid against Norf. Really not invested in the game. Just jogging from contest to contest. Not working hard at all. 
     

    The kid has so much talent but wonder if he has the work ethic.

    Their failure to win a flag in the 2004-2010 period was the death knell for them. Imagine where North would have been now if they didn't capitalise in the 90s. Well that's the Saints, only a decade behind them and in a worse situation.

    Yes i think you are right Chook. There was a short period of time where Butters and Thomas were the innovators, but it all fell in a screaming heap. 
    North were also very lucky in the 70’s when the 10 year rule came in. 
    If they hadn’t had that opportunity I don’t think they would be here today

    No mate. The other end of South Road!!, although i was aware of The Tech Boyz reputation at certain Saturday night gatherings. 
    Saw a few gigs at The South Side Six in the later 70’s, that was certainly an education

    Slightly different synchronicity cobber, early 70’s. South Side Six brings back some less than salubrious memories. Age was not necessarily a barrier. Lost something there… innocence?  Billy Thorpe no longer the pop singer, on the rise as a rock ‘n roll god.

    At the other end of South Road was Hampton and Brighton Beach!!

    A totally different frontier, with just as much fun.

    Brighton Beach Baths on a southerly buster!  My old school was down there originally. Younger brother managed to scam it somehow and was in the first senior enrollment when St Leonard’s went co-Ed. Now that was fun!

    Much more fun than across the road. Although we used have dancing classes on Saturday night. Where polite young men could meet the fairer sex.

    • 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?
