    Grimes - did an ankle

    Bate - what about me?

    I've broken the cardinal rule...

    Watts - Good early. Faded.

    Yeah I think he was pretty damn exhausted towards the end of the match, but his ball sense was excellent even late in the last quarter with some good tap ons.

    Jamar concerns me greatly. We are running this man into the ground. He could barely walk to the bench in the last. We have to bring Martin back in to give him a bigger rest. If he gets injured we are f'ed!

    The commentators mentioned this too. They were wondering what we would have done if he was injured early in the game with no second ruck in the lineup. I think Martin has been pretty decent for us this year and didn't really deserve to be dropped. On the other hand, it's a return to the formula that saw us rack up some good wins last year.

    We continue to play with fire though.

    One day our luck with Jamar will run out. We are sending him into an early retirement.

    Watts - needs another pre-season

    really liked his first half but faded and just looks like another pre-season is what he needs

  • Quote

    Haha had like 26 touches 4 goals 9 tackles

    Johncock - had a shocker!

    Yeah, I know, but it was once it was all going already. First quarter he was absent, second quarter even he didn't have much of an impact.

    Bit of a downhill skiier...

    Intensity, tackling, pressure.

    Moloney - you [censored]rippa

    Petterd: Never Drop him

    People last week were saying he doesnt deserve to be in the team... Garbage the kid is in our best 15 and it exactly what we needed... Some players just play better on the big stage.. People will say he wasnt doing that much for Casey but he is a gun forward that would have kicked 50+ goals last year had it not been for the injury.

    ???? He started the avalanche of goals in the third with 2 goals in a minute. Still played well with 26 touches and 4 goals regardless.

    I'm really pleased with and proud of Warnock.

    No pretentions to being a star, but he came out and delivered the stopper role to a really good standard, and the effect that this had on giving Frawley and other defenders a little more opportunity to run was one of the game-changing factors.

    If Frawley gets back to 'maximum form' and can both decisively stop and then rebound off the top opposition forward, Warnock's contribution goes down and the value of Rivers as the zone-off interceptor increases.

    Throw in the 'Jamar only' issue still floating around, making the inclusion of Martin as ruck-defender a weekly consideration.

    It'll be an interested story over the year, the tall defensive set-up.

    Also, sometimes I watch Matthew Bate closely, and I have a theory that he is actually a very good footballer but has the most appalling luck. The ball bounces away from him, or he lays a tackle and it randomly spills to another opponent, or he gets to be the guy receiving a hand-ball at his ankles, all these things seem to happen to him. I know that better positioning, anticipaton and all that would make a difference, but I honestly think the guy needs to work on improving the 'dumb luck' part of hs game. :)

    Green - finally waking up

    Warnock - provided mature body

    Jones - was our heart

    Bartram - worked super hard

    Watts - learning to fly

    Gysberts - the human sponge (ok, better explain, this kid just seems to learn and learn, progressing well)

    Frawley - weekly confidence boost

    Trengove - growing up quick

    Sylvia - lifted when required

    Dunn - solid role player

    Petterd - set the tone

    Grimes - good luck today (with the x-rays)

    Maric - took his chance

    Garland - deserves more recognition

    Moloney - captain's game, hmmm....

    Jurrah - skillful but lazy

    Wonaeamirri - wakes us up

    Tapscott - bull on parade

    Davey - responded to criticism

    Jamar - worried for him (ripper game as always but surely must be getting worn down)

    Bail - poised and fit

    Bate - some selfish moments (but can't blame him for trying to make an impact, worked hard)

    Bailey - much better upstairs (meaning both his thinking and the fact he was up in the box)

    i reckon a few here are way to hard on bate.

    He didnt kick many goals, but from what i saw on TV he tried all day, contested well and quite frankly with him and ricky our our foward structure looks alot more complete. Watts, Jurrah, Dunn dont put their bodies on the line lie bate and petterd do.

    Incorrect. Wrong. Silly call. Watch the game again call.

    Sylvia had more possessions in the first quarter than any other quarter. (8 possessions).

    Get your facts right before stating he was absent.

    There are quite a few who hold this belief here (downhill skier), but I'll defend it until the cows come home. Bring it ! I'm willing and able.

    Win or lose he gives. Look harder next time.

    "Wasn't that great" (your 3 word analysis of Sylvia) you say ? :mellow:

    He had 6 possesions. The ball is was in our forward line 70% of the game

    • 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.
