I'm tipping:

  1. Chris Scott to gaslight the entire umpiring department,

  2. Voss to say the boys ‘just need to execute’,

  3. Damo to break a 'scoop' that was tweeted two days ago,

  4. Kane Cornes to challenge a 12-year-old to a time trial,

  5. Max to deliver a press conference more heartfelt than most eulogies.

    No Formula 1 this weekend. Perhaps just as well after the heartbreak of last week.

    Tour de France is on but without a horse in the race it's a long watch.

    Test cricket in Jamaica is a day night Test with the evening session starting around 9:30am Melbourne time on Sunday

    Second placed Melbourne Storm play the Knights is Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.

    The AFL have another round in what seems like a never ending season.

    Casey (13th) play Werribee (14th) in a must win game in front of a zero crowd at Whitten Oval on Saturday night

    Carlton players to lift for Voss after that disgusting “murder slur” which ..”surprise ..surprise” was by a Collingwood member.

    What is the point of the floating fixture if, in a round with a lot of critical games, we are instead getting 12th vs 2nd as the prime time Thursday night game?

    Why not 3rd vs 6th, or 4th vs 8th, or 5th vs 9th? All crucial games in what is other wise a dud season for the AFL, given that 7 weeks out from finals only 9 teams can make the 8. But no, instead we get Carlton.

    The desire for existing eyeballs is coming at the expense of growth for the game - by putting on better games of footy in more visible time slots. The last month’s narrative has been ‘Pitchforks for Voss’ as the lead story, instead of the actual games.

    I’m so bored by the AFL. They’ve mistaken ‘constant content’ for entertainment, and it’s so dull.

    Crowded Blues forward line and they manufacture a goal under difficulty. The Lions use system and pressure and create a nice goal.

    Reminds me of watching the Dees, unfortunately…

    Most blatant blocking by Cameron (though not too successful). No free. Umpiring continues to be soooo inconsistent

    Just watching the blues and lions. It is like watching the Dees. Poor kicking for goal and numerous players that have skill levels below their lion oponents. It ain't Voss. Cripps misses another.

    • 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?
