I did see that photo too and there was a notable player (Trac) not present. There were others too so im not reading much into it, however the reason i raise the point, is that the media havent raised it either (yet). Just wanted to put a watch on whether they'll hang onto this to use for another time.

Tracc’s probably still in the ice bath or in the kitchen.😁😁👍

    Was it Goody who said he loves what the players are doing off the ball?

    For those who are bagging out Spargo, perhaps it is what he does off the ball, as opposed to his possessions.

    Jeff Whites analysis showed how important is that players are setting up when they don’t have the footy, particularly defensively. Maybe Spargo does this better than most.

    In the last month the game plan seems to be bearing fruit. Could Spargo be a shining example of how they should be setting up? Is this the reason why he is being picked? I don’t pretend to have the answers, but being picked because he is a Goodwin favourite seems unlikely.

    As good as Melksham's little dinky kick over the top to Langdon was in the last, that goal doesn't come if it wasn't for Spargo. Didn't register a touch in the leadup to the goal, but he read Payne's kick beautifully and caused an intercept.

    Stunning win and I was lucky enough to be there with my Dee old school mate Dive.

    Unexpectedly lovely drive home to the Sunshine Coast.

    Note how disinterested the Lion's supporters up the back are.

    • 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?
