like 3rd quarter v hawthorn, just vice versa

Ah no.... that quarter was 8.11 to 1.0. Nothing like that.

Richmond 7.5. 47

Melbourne 12.4. 76

Dees by 29 pts.

Won that quarter by 9 pts.

Goals: Green 3, Jones 2, Watts 2, Trengove 2, Martin, Jurrah , Howe.

Really impressed wiuth the intensity and some of the ball movement is exquisite. Impressed with Nicholson's don't argue's and breaking tackles whilst on the run looking up field. Garland, Rivers and Frawley doing well as required. Moloney coming into the game that quarter, Jones playing very well. ANd the forwards in Jurrah, Green, Howe, Petterd playing with freedom and looking dangerous foe nearly every i50. Martin and Jamar sharing the load both in the centre and up forward. Making contests. Bennell could be a bit more dangerous with some confidence. Goes to the ball one handed alot, would prefer two hands and that he take the physicality responsibility for his teammates. If you go half hearted at 50/50 balls, opposition will find you out and exploit that. Putting in though so that is a positive.

Bring on the second half. Must let the footy do the talking again and keep the accelerator down. May just break the game wide open.

    Anyone know anything about Sylvia making contact in an off the ball incident? Heard someone saying he'll get 3 weeks for it...no one at the game knows anything about nor did anyone see it. Me thinks it's a bit of good ol' fashioned BS.

    @ Akum. Jordie was on him late in the quarter, not sure who was on him earlier, possible Gys. Garland gets him when he is going forward.

    On of Jordies tackles on him in their F50 he literally threw him self at him through the air and wrapped both arms and legs around him and rode him to the ground. Don't argue that!

    true, overexcited...what I should have said was 'tiges really struggling to release the ball following a dees behind, a little reminiscent of the hawks game'

    Off the ball incident...know nothing.

    The only contact he had was his knee into Conca's head. Conca got a free, could have been nasty but just grazed him. All accidental. Sylvia should have gone down low like Conca did. Granted, Conca may have just beaten him to the ball.

    Yeah fair enough.

    Our press is putting pressure on.

    Our ball handling is good.

    edit:

    Watts mark - great pack mark, stood tall !!

    Nothing in it, Conca (I think) and Sylvia were both running at the ball and Conca's head hit Slyvia's knee as they both when low for the ball

    Edwards kicks one, now Jackson lining up for another, stupid free from Watts before.

    Jackson misses.

    this game is still right on.

    both sides are scoring quickly when they get a run-on - gotta make sure you get a goal when the opportunity presents itself, not another wretched point.

  • Quote

    Wasting so many opportunities here. Even getting a pretty good run with the umpires...

  • Quote

    Martin too cute, turns it over, results in Newman goal, Tigers with a sniff.

    Sylvia to Jurrah, come on jurrah!

    • 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?
