    Petterd, 14 tackles

    I'm sure I'll be abused for the Petterd comment , but I don't look at the statistics or replays before making my assessments

    I wont abuse you about it, it's an opinion mate.

    I did not notice all 14 to be honest, I thought about 10.

    Joeboy - Necessary Tiger abuse

    Constantly appealing for holding the ball whenever they laid a tackle. Idiots.

    Anyway, Petterd laid 14 tackles? Faaaaar out.

    I thought he was quiet today, but 13 inside 50 tackles is a seriously good effort, considering that would beat the team total for inside 50 tackles in our bad weeks.

    He had 14 tackles and 15 disposals, most where not great, but I reckon he would have had a hand in 3-4 score assists.

    I thought Petterd was ordinary, bit selfish at times where he could have dragged his man away from the contest so the other Melbourne Player could have had a one on one. But his defensive work was great.

    Green not sure where he is at, struggled a little today without taking a big mark late in the 3rd and early in the last.

    Brad Green - Selfish Goal Hungry

    Occasionally yes, but getting to the right possessions and then having a shot is often good play not bad.

    It's not as easy as saying, well Brad you spent your whole career trying to kick goals, now you must look unselfish at all times. The captaincy has weighed on him, but thankfully he has improved this year from where he was at. Still has a way to go - I abuse him generally once a game now for been selfish/dumb.

    Can't blame him for kicking the one early in the 4th.

    Agreed re everything bar Petterd and Strauss. Thought Petterd was very lively all day, maybe not 100% effective but his talent we all know of his intensity has been questioned and he showed he cared today.

    Strauss had 10 touches and from memory didn't get over the ball once nor fumble.. He was far from best but he was matched up on a far bigger body and beat him too so think tiny bit harsh there.

    Jurrah- He Is Back

    Petterd - terrific last quarter.

    Absolutely - terrific pressure from him in 4th q.

    Brad Green - Selfish Goal Hungry

    There certainly were about 3 occasions where he could have given it off instead of blazing away. The one where Petterd was moving towards goal at the Punt Road end away from Green and his 2 opponents was a gimme, but Green ignored him. The Captain is playing better but was selfish on a few occasions.

    Green turned down a couple of shots he should have taken! The one in the last quarter where he gave it off to Jones was a certain goal if he'd had a shot. It's never a certainty if you give the ball off to Jones.

    Petterd's call is all out of whack. I thought he was in a LOT of the game, just fluffed disposal too often. Looks like he's enduring a bit, but doing all of the hard stuff you can do when you're out of touch.

    That's ok - maybe look at the game tho!!!

  • Quote

    Petterd is strong through the legs and good overhead but his kicking action is seriously flawed.

    He drops the ball with both hands from half way up his chest. He just has to use the ball better, particularly when kicking for goal.

    • 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?
