Lots of despair on X tonight from North supporters. I know our season is [censored] but thank God we had some recent success.

They are going nuts. I mean they have a good forward line and a pretty handy midfield.

Next week they play port away.

    Small forwards. Jesse Motlop 3 goals. 9 tackles. Will White (a young SSP last minute addition ) 3 goals. 5 tackles. Both applied pressure and showed goal sense. When they were within forward 30, they went for goal. Their tackling pressure created goals.

    Papley. Cameron. Hill. Stengle. Keays. Curtis. Moore. Higgins. Rankine. Zurhaar. Watson. Rioli. Etc etc. Small forwards for many teams are aggressive keen goal kickers. Yes we have kozzzy but now seem to want to put him into the midfield to create energy and run … “rob Peter to pay Paul is the saying”!! Apart from Kozzzy, Chandler and Spargo are well below other small forwards in the league. Chandler has had one good game and has been average in others. Spargo offers 5 minutes with one or two cameo efforts but can’t jump, has no pace, no tackling and doesn’t score goals (must delist at year end).

    Aside from needing to find a key tall forward, the search for an energetic quick small forward should be on our recruiting menu.

    I don’t blame them - they’ve been showing signs of going to the next level for a while now without actually doing it and last night was a big opportunity to do so.

    It was certainly winnable (or should’ve been) based on some of their recent form.

    I’d love the tea on that trade. There’s got to be a reason they were so happy to get rid of him

    It's not hard to understand ...he plays for himself. Culture killer.

    The best clubs understand that a team is a mix of people and personalities as much as football or positional abilities.

    The pies are very strong and well run club and have a bold FD that act on what they are seeing.

    He's been OK at the Hawks in a team they were trying to inject personality into. Now they're getting serious he'll fall by the wayside.

    The entire pre game team for the Tigers game have laid into Balta for his violent assault and saying its wrong he is playing after 5 games out

    Whilst I don't disagree with this, where was the outrage when De Goey allegedly forcibly touched a female and beat the hell out of her friend who tried to stick up for her? He GOT ZERO WEEKS!

    Is it just coz it happened overseas and we have footage? He was sitting in a NT jail cell!

    And no-one has the balls to mention it on TV. Absolute disgrace the Pies and and the AFL

    I swear the umpires feel like they're dealing with children some games with the pushing, fighting & the dobbing.

    But the way lynch is going he's likely to do something stupid & get himself rubbed out which is fine

    It's a homage to their invisible fans

    Seriously though, who could predict red on red might not look great?

    Gee Tom lynch is giving it to the opposition tonight & I guess clubs have now worked out you can easily get into Mac Andrews head

    Is he not the highest paid player in the league or thereabouts? Very few defenders lose their head as much as him...if any

    Wait really? Mac Andrews is one of the highest paid defenders or players? Either is extremely surprising

    • 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?
