I thought Max's performance today was incredible especially given the fact he had to contend with two oppo ruckmans who simply just played the man all day long and didnt contest the ball at all.

It may have worked for Grundy last year but Maxy taught him a lesson today.

    Better, Kozzie is a disrupter of opposition composure. The way Max takes long down the line out of the equation, Kozzie puts the fear of God into rebounding defenders. Jurrah a better mark, but everything else Kozzie.

    Why wouldn’t they try TMac up forward in place of AJ?

    In good form , good mark and can kick, I’d say he could even do better than Petty.

    AJ has presence, and is a great 2nd ruck. I also like his positioning and he runs with the fall of the ball. I sincerely hope JVR comes good, but the way AJ is moving when the ball is on the deck applies pressure that JVR doesn’t bring. He still ball watches, after he feels the contest has past him, AJ keeps moving regardless, it’s valuable. And his nouse to tap rather than take possession should get more credit, kept ball alive. Oh by the could the previous Petty haters (apart from STFU) apologize, all that garbage about him not being invested.

    After one of Derm’s trademark inane comments (something to do with Brad Johnson looking at Fritsch’s eyes or something), I made the comment that Fox Footy obviously hate us - it’s the only explanation for why they give us the garbage they do.

    A Deemolition of the Swans! Only inaccurate kicking for goal kept the Swans in it until the dam eventually burst. Having Salem, Oliver and Melksham in form makes a big difference. The Dees are still alive and kicking in 2025 👍

    To think Tracc could have played his 200th for a different club puts into perspective how much of a privilege it is to watch him go about his work for us. The same really can be said for Claz as well and i'm so looking forward to his milestone match this year.

    One day it will be hard to fathom we got to see Max, Kozzy, Tracc, Claz etc. all in the same team.

    Waiting for Kingy to retract his Oliver is unlikely to be an A grader again.

    It's amazing that after the endless stream of proven bad calls and comments you've made over years, that there's never been a hint of self regulation or reflection. Take a step back for once and enjoy the win

    Ah that explains a few of BTs comments during the game. At first I thought he was having a crack at Melbourne supporters but then he was saying you really have to be at the game to get a proper feel for the crowd.

    I flicked over to fox during the adds but after less than a minute of listening to Breteton I had to switch back. My god he is painful.

    There was so much to like but what impressed me most was our forward pressure in the last quarter when the game was done and dusted.

    Boys were hungry today it was awesome to see.

    Yep I just can't be convinced that it's some coincidence that his one poor year (2023) came when he had a shaved head.

    Another game, another really good win, another step forward in attracting players in the off-season.

    (And coaches, support staff, sponsors ... not to mention members.)

    this. watching him live today, he's in great form, probs our best tall back when the ball hits the ground, and marking beautifully. Great call by Goodwin to rest Tmac. I think this is a crucial period in Turners development where he is playing elite footy. you don't want to mess with that. They will bring Tmac back no doubt but they may have to move him forward. turner is playing irresistible footy.

    Yep.

    And he has a couple if attributes Tmac doesn't, or at least not to the same level - genuine speed and excellent lateral movement.

    I'm loving how goodTurner is running back with the flight of the ball.

    • 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.
