Half Time vison in the rooms

The 1/2 time vison on TV showed Brent Moloney revving up the team, purposeful and intense - sort of " the game's not over boys" type of approach.

Has someone forgotten to tell him he's not in the group? This situation is laughable - he IS the leadership group - with some great backup by example from Trengove, Sylvia, Tapscott etc.

    It's not laughable. It made perfect sense to drop him from it, and if you asked him he'd more than likely agree...

    It's irrelevant.

    Do you really HAVE to have the title of being in the "leadership group" to be a leader? It's well known that Maloney is a huge leader around the club whether he has the title or not. He doesn't need it.

    One day he will be Captain.

    No offence, but pretty contradictory post...

    Feels a bit like Hawthorn the last coupla years for mine, with a Captain that's media friendly and a spiritual leader who the players seem to deep down prefer.

    None taken! I was just pushing the point that he is a natural leader regardless of title. Someday he will get his titles back but this won't change his leadership as he already performs this role every week.

    I agree with your Hawthorn relation too!

    I was refering to the whole concept of contrived leadership groups being 'luaghable'. They exist or they don't and membership is not a function of a group vote - its a natuarl thing - ask Kevin Rudd!

    Beamer is in it and will be for the foreseeable future 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.

    • 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?
