Lot of luv for Clarry’s game here. I thought it was a huge improvement from him. But if I’m positioned to be a tagger, but my “tagee” gets 30 possessions (7 more than me) and only one less clearance than me, have I really done a good job?

    2 Trac - leading possession getter for the game but appears so low in the votes? Maybe we expect too much of Trac, but he was great again.

    Not for me my good man, I can't speak for other voters but I thought he was sensational.

    7 x I50s

    8 x Score involvements

    9 x clearances (the game high) and 7 of them from the middle

    His best game since KB for mine, he also attended 29 centre bounces and played extensively through the midfield so that was extremely encouraging. Had he kicked that goal at the end he would have banked a Brownlow vote for sure.

    Definitely his best game since return.

    And the thing is, this is what should have been expected from him in the first place - that after such a significant set of injuries, it was always going to take time for him to find his feet, form and trust his body. I dare say he is still near the start of that joruney.

    He's only going to get better.

    Probably not a true tag, as the stats show. And that is also likely because Clarry was given the freedom to punish the other way, too, and still play his own brand - 7 clearances, 5 score involvements and 1 goal. They are not tagging stats, but I would say his impact on Neale curtailed his influence, not necessarily his ability to get the ball (which as a dual brownlow medallist, is going to be a given). Neale was certainly around, and got the ball, but did not have his normal impact on the game, which goes a long way for Brisbane wins. And that's thanks to our boy, Claz.

    But you're right, not a true tag haha

    • 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?
