Now that's a game I'll watch happily again. What an effort from the boys. Was worried about our mental capacity to see the game out given our recent history but we've pushed through and won that last quarter convincingly. 4 goals 8 vs 1 goal 1.

    The fact Brisbane kept kicking it to him was hilarious. I reckon that’s the ONE thing you’d be coached NOT to do.

    Reckon one of the Brisbane players gave the "You idjit" look to the guy who last kicked it to him.
    Was hilarious.

    Has any player won more games with his late quarter efforts than Max Gawn?

    Greatest ruckman of all time. Fight me.

    Serious x factor. , I think we should

    I think he took Fort by surprise several times with his aggression and strength in the ruck. Loved his goal as well!

    He'll never be an out and out star but I can see him being a handy player for us.

    Fritsch needs to bring that effort consistently. That's the standard now. Great cameo as sub.

    Melksham was unreal.

    Gawn's late clunks were huge.

    Yes Max was a Rock of Gibraltar

    What a great win. What a great leader Max Gawn is. Lindsay and Langford showed great compose for been very young and inexperienced. A great coaching performance by Goody. A great move making Fritsch the sub, as he played a great game when he came on.

    Listening to the radio they are saying how good AJ was in the final term.

    Do we give him a few weeks at it.

    Sounds like he offered more than Jefferson

    Lever back means Disco up forward I reckon which prob means AJ is out.

    I honestly don't think it's a debate.
    They throw up Dean Cox .... Please 🙄
    No ruckman takes over a game like Gawn when in the mood.

    And if the Brownlow was fair he should have a couple by now.

    I checked the stats at three quarter time and thought Max was down on marks.

    It's usually a fair barometer for us.

    Great last quarter from him. Won the game for us.

    Absolutely fantastic win, an outstanding whole team effort. Clean up some of those costly skill errors and it really would have looked like a more dominant win.

    Fritsch was great when coming on, that's the required level.

    Lindsay was outstanding in 2nd half and our midfield just bullied theirs.

    Max, what else can you say 👏👏👏

    I continue to be impressed with Bowey's rapid rise this season.

    Many could argue that he gets a lot of easy ball with his role but there were several occasions where he put his body on the line.

    Went at 86% DE as well.

    That was wonderful. Just great. That guaranteed GF ticket might just get a call up this year after all!

    Exactly. He's a guy who has been given an opportunity at the top level & he seems to not want to waste it

    Bowza has been immense all year. Consistent and confident.

    Watching the game with Uncle Bitters and Range Rover

    We are all a little stunned, 4 Quarter effort, that still looked short until 10 minutes into the last Q

    Tom Sparrow was huge in the packs Fritta took some angry pills and went for it

    Saw the game without sound, so i need to catch the Replay

    There is a slight pulse still beating…

    Jake’s one of those players, and not because of his size, who makes me scared for his safety when there’s a contest looming. Inspirationally courageous, and absolutely AA. He’s simply become elite.

    We probably should've won that by 4-5 goals with how dominant we played in that finally quarter. We kicked 4.8 for the quarter.

    4g 8b in the last. Holy cow they know how to torture us supporters

    • 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?
