perhaps u should read ur last 10 posts before you mention the word logic

as someone else mentioned u have brought little of it today

No you expect to much with a greasy ball Mr Watts04. We are 10 goals up, whats your problem??

You still don't understand what any of us are saying. Listen carefully.

No one doubts that humidity will affect performance.

What we have pointed out, is the fact that there was no apparent effect on the GC players, therefore it is not an excuse for AFL players (as opposed to GC kids) to blame humidity. If both teams slowed down, then you may be able to attribute the lack of scoring on fatigue/humidity but you can't attribute our performance to it, where the other side are running around as normal.

key word KIDS good to see our kids are not up to it as much !!!!!
 

Anybody happy now? :P

so ur puttin humidity ahead of guts, attitude etc as the reason for the third qtr????

they are 18, been up there 6 months and they have better fitness and handle humidity better than tuned athletes over several years?

wouldnt it have a worse effect in the last qtr where we have been better?

u make no sense but we know that.

im the sucker for being dragged in


You have not lived in 90% humidity for any length of time have you.

Read my earlier message. Then reply.

For the record, I have lived for many years in such humidity, but as I have already explained, that is not the issue.

humidity is horrible, wife and I spent 3 months in China and it was humid as hell and we could not cope at all.

Humidity is a major factor when your running all day.

Doubt anybody is going to be happy without a 300+ point win today... :lol:


melbournes kicking is attrocious...who ever is the skills coach needs a kick himself...right up the rear !!

This so called team of demons are really not up to their namesakes... just not in the same league as the filth...hate to admit it.

Thankyou...a man who knows. It is hard to walk 20 steps in high humidity. Your entire body just steams and sweats all day.....

I can't believe the debate on a game thread is the about the bloody humidity!!

The elephant in the room is that we are not playing well and it has nothing to do with the playing conditions. We are bottom 4 this year on what I have seen.

Skills are poor, often under little pressure. Too many who can't play contested footy.

The replies in this thread are hilarious.

We're destroying them, and have been all game.

We're up by 80 points ffs.

bury them...nothing else is really acceptable

did not realise that this would be up for debate after watching the TIO game v Port last year!!


Now imagine if we kicked straight - 19 points, and considering Green has kicked 2 out on the full, i think Sylvia has done it a few times too... not bad.

e: This is a bigger victory than the WB managed - a top 4 aspirant who played them at home.

Haha... Terrible comment. Who is? I don't think we expect to be do we...? If we are the 8th best team this year that would be good enough I think

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    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.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    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?
