    ... made our performance on Thursday look like Champagne football.

    See, there's always a silver lining :lol:

    There's no way the GC performances should be compared to ours .

    We "should" be miles infront in terms of developement .

    Only way that I'd compare to us is that the bummers managed a larger lead in 1 quarter than we managed in a whole game, but I must say it is really of no importance.

    I'm embarrassed for us and no laughing at GC especially at the hands of the scum will help .

    Sarcasm emoticon or not .

    Shows up the disparency between Essendon and us nicely I'd have thought.

    New game record looming and happy to lose it

    Glad I took the over 200.5 pts in this one!

    What really shows how bad we were is that the inside fifties in that quarter was 25-9.... We only managed 22-3

    very much my thinking. It took a whole game and many many goals in junk time to amount that lead for us.

    Cant help but be impressed by the Bummers today

    I don't think it matters when you score the goals, we still performed well against the Suns in my opinion. GC beat Essendon in the second quarter today 5.2 to 3.0 by the way. Still, 15 goals in the first quarter pretty much seals it.

    edit: also impressed with Essendon. Just goes to show you that a change in coach and admin can do wonders for a list. Essendon will trounce the Dee's in a few weeks.

    Actually , to me it does. GC in the first qtr have fresh legs and all the game before them.. They jumped us. They have been pummeled by Essendon. We got our big scores agaisnt GC when they were knackered ( youngens ) We were junk time kings...Essendon have shown their ability when it really matters.

    A big difference to me..:)

    In that context, I do understand your position. Both Melbourne and Essendon have smashed GC, but Essendon have done it more convincingly by kicking 15 in the first quarter and the final margin is likely to be 20 goals plus easily.

    The really sad thing ( for us ) is that despite the obvious difference in the sides ,GC are still having a crack, still playing with what they have at their disposal, still putting bodies on the line...... unlike some other club I could mention :rolleyes::(

    But the awesome thing for us is that the likes of Tom Scully must be watching this game and wondering just how much worse GWS are going to be next season, especially if they don't attract a big name like Ablett (and they probably won't).

    it hurts when Gold Coast outscore the Demons, even though they were thrashed they still managed to outscore us. :(

    Ours was the 3rd worst performance from the 7 matches this week IMO.

    • 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?
