LEADING FROM THE BACK

Featured Replies

 

Ive been very critical of Jareds form over the journey and im still not totally convinced but I will give credit and applause where due. He seems to have ditched his nonchalance and niggly attitude and regained some semblance of his early form.

Hope he keeps it that way. He's picked up half the yard he lost but it worries me as to how permanent this might be. i.e how succeptible to a relapse etc etc.

Currently hes playing better than decent footy. Again, hope that stays that way.

Doubt id ever join his bandwagon but will clap as it passes !

For god's sake don't put him on a leading forward. That's all I have to say.

 

Another leader coming from a low base.

If he continues his form then that is great but as he concedes - he isn't a natural leader.

He is contributing and I hope it continues.

Of everyone in the leadership group*, he and Jones have been our most consistent this year. Both have actually stepped up this year.

*excluding poor Grimsey, the cursed child!

Put him on Cloke

Happy now ??? Lol

I knew I'd regret applauding this guy. Shown to be passed it as goes the game currently. He still thinks with a good footy brain but has neither the leg speed or real body on body winning game.

Fool me once shame on you, fooled me twice shame on me.

Shop him around for whatever we can get pick wise and try and use some value combing etc.

27 , you're times up I'm afraid.

  • 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?
