In cricket nomenclature it's catches win matches.

What is the equivalent in footy parlance?

Good kicking is good footy.

    Seven years… it’s been seven years now. At what point do people stop saying stuff like this?

    Seven years, a premiership FB and a career that only rejuvenated itself after Freo traded him for a literal packet of peanuts.

    We didn’t lose out on the trade. Freo did.

    Someone remind me what we got for Hogan.

    We actually engaged in a kind of time warp where we got Steven May's best four years in exchange for Jesse Hogan's worst four.

    Full credit to Hogan, he's currently on target (so very, very on target, and for the second consecutive year) to kick more goals this season than he did for the entirely of his unhappy and injured 2019-2022 period.

    Remember that Freo traded him to GWS for pick 54.

    Like so many stories of football success, GWS presence in the finals is built on Fremantle's failure to engage with a top-talent player and having to trade them away for peanuts.

    There is no point to having the Essendon football club in the Australian Football League.

    For everything we might enjoy hating them for, we already have their spiritual mirror Carlton, who provide much more amusing nonsense and dysfunction along the way and whose fans at least have a soul so we know they are hurting.

    You could almost have a schadenfreude scale;

    How much to you enjoy/what margin does it take to really savour X team losing?

    Hawks I would feel some contentment whenever their fans were forced to sit through a final quarter with no real prospect of winning.

    Collingwood I would want to see them really get found out before I cared, but, yeah, I would enjoy that.

    Essendon... I would need Essendon to lose by at least 100 before it felt anything at all.

    They're someone else's cardboard box on the shared stairs. Of zero interest in itself, just a minor obstacle you wish someone would get rid of.

    Good grief.

    And we didn't get a flag for him.
    That's conjecture.

    … Yes, but positive about a player from an opposition club! Try being positive about an MFC player whose name isn’t Matthew Jefferson.

    Just over 20,500 in attendance last night.

    Where’s the noise???

    No wonder the AFL want an indoor stadium. 4 degrees. And if you only had 15000 people attending then the echo would double the attendance well the noise.

    I can’t speak for all the peanuts, but I certainly jump outta my seat when I see an imbecilic post. That’s just the kinda peanut I am 🤷‍♀️

    We moved Jesse Hogan on cos he was a party boy (and he did want to go home)

    Freo moved him on cos he was a party boy

    glad he has sorted himself out and is playing great football.

    If he had shown the same application and dedication through his whole career he would have been one of the greats i reckon. better late than never i suppose

    He did go thru tough times mentally losing his father & also he’s own cancer issues, goes to show moving state doesn’t fix the underlying issues!

    We got May which formed part of the best premiership defenders! After he’s Freo exit our list mgrs spoke but @ the time would have been high risk??

    Goes to show having power fwds like hogan & Cameron would help our fwd issues no end since 21 flag, why our club hasn’t been able to find one, is it cap space or no one wants to come to the MFC

    It'll be a great night in the AFL corporate box.

    Legal vs Operations, decided by the umpiring committee.

    • 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?
