    It has been about 15 years since a club accumulated so much early-draft midfield talent and got such little result for it.

    Currently Clarkson hasn't got close to Bailey and is barely ahead of Neeld. (expansion team caveat noted)

    The fact they've popped up for the occasional win when they seem to feel like it must make it all the more frustrating for North's remaining supporters and, dare I say it, any young players with serious ambitions.

    Sideways at times. Earlier Dwayne said “Port are kicking with the rain this quarter” instead of “… with the wind…” 😂

    I take no joy in poor North getting smashed.

    We've been there and it's not pretty.

    Interesting how the AFL just let players like Bailey catches a cold easily just waltzes in to teh cats and they are after more stars.

    North have not finished higher than second last for 6 years

    That’s even worse than we used to be

    Real stench from North tonight. Could be a coach killer. I know there's no Xerri or Larkey but geezus.

    Gee it feels a long time ago nth had that huge win against us earlier in the season.

    You'd be relieved if you were the nth player subbed off.

    They haven't advanced up the ladder under him at nth.

    It's not like they have dud players like we did in the dark days.

    So far this round Hawthorn’s 24pt win over Carlton is the closest result, the rest of the games being hugely one-sided affairs. I daresay Collingwood will keep the pattern going tomorrow. Terrible viewing for neutrals.

    Yes, I fear it’ll be the same for our game

    They have a much better list than we did back then. AA ruckman, a few good forwards, and some genuine close-to-A-grader midfielders. The problem is there is a huge gap after that filled with average VFL players.

    I think Clarkson might be done though. This has real "Pagan at Carlton" stench about it.

    • 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?
