That's 2 reviews. Surely a goal ump should call those. Within 2 metres on both occasions. time wasting !!!

Especially the second one. Goal umpire should’ve backed himself.

    I’m just happy to see the ball somewhere other than in the Lions goal square

    He did and correctly.

    Field umpire came in and called for reviews.

    2022 is proving an ordinary draft - the first four will be stars though.

    Looks to me like there’s a fair few players from that draft that will be pretty good – not just the top four. I could name Michalanney, Weddel, Humphrey, and Fletcher off the top of my head. Then of course there’s The poo 💩

    Seriously though, I was wondering a bit as well. Mainly because this group was more affected by Covid than any other. No under 16’s, no underage year. Even in 2022 I think the state squads were a bit all over the place.

    So I think many of them will have a slower start to their careers, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the games played is not significantly different by the end.

    The big o has the same kicking coach as Max.

    Given his time at Casey, maybe Max himself was McInerney's kicking coach.

    Be a bit like like living next door to Federer and getting chess lessons.

    not sure what the point of that goal umpire is

    It's pathetic isn't it? All was lost when they got rid of the lab coats. Up until then they were the most trusted of community members.

    poor handball from bont there

    a rare occurrence

    I watch the Dogs most weeks. I recon he's been 1 or 2 percent off his best for a few weeks. So he's the best player in the comp by only half the length of the Flemmington straight now.

    Been travelling to warmer climes so missed the chance to post the alternative sports this weekend.

    World wide it's a quiet week but with the Storm playing Manly tomorrow with a win putting them top of the ladder it's a game worth watching. The NRL ladder or table as it's called can be a hard one to decipher due to 17 teams and rolling byes. Eagles before tomorrow have played 18 games with Storm at 16. That's three less games with only 6 weeks or so to go. Madness !(Shades of AFL with 19 teams perhaps)

    Looked at several footy fixtures Round 24 has Essendon and Gold Coast playing 2 matches on the same day. Essendon and Sun have played one less match, not sure how they are going to make up the matches ?

    • 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?
