Yeah it is true. Apparently it was a chest infection.

Then his efforts were genuinely fantastic :wub: !!!

    Sorry forgot to add the bad/ugly.

    Our stupid runner. Seriously I know it was an honest mistake but stay away from our player when they are kicking for goal. I reckon Green would have slotted it through.

    the runner almost collided with a melbourne player on his way off the ground...

    I thought Watts looked like he was really struggling with the conditions. He didn't have his usual run and the set shot he missed looked like his legs were made of rubber. However, when he got the ball he used it with his usual poise. How was his assist to Gysberts?

    The good.

    Frawley- what an awesome player

    Pettard- since he was dropped he has realised the effort required from him and has been excellent. Adds something to our forward line when he's tackling and pressuring

    Martin- Loving his work around the ground. Jamar/Martin a really strong duo now, with Gawn and Spenser in the wings, our weakness at the start of the season is looking strong again.

    Sylvia, Moloney and Trengove- love your midfield work boys

    Jurrah special mention- it's not all going perfectly for him atm, but he's such a talent, i don't like how many times he was mentioned in the thread 'disappointments of season 2011'. He's still so young and has kicked 33 goals in 14 games is a great effort. Has been forced to play as the prime target way too much when he should be third tall

    The bad

    Morton- a little disappointing, can tell he's trying to go hard when its his turn, but is over thinking things. Needs confidence. I think a full pre-season will make a huge difference, last 2 years he's had long term injuries in the lead up to round 1, I think people underestimate how much behind the black ball you are without a proper pre-season

    The ugly

    Nothing really ugly

    Interesting thing watching Morton's game (and I agree he wasn't great tonight). He seems to be trying to be physical and just not quite know how to do it. A couple of times he went in really hard to bump his man off the ball, and while I applaud the effort, he looked really ungainly and didn't really have the impact he was trying for. If he can learn to use his size a little better it will be a huge advantage for him playing in the midfield.

    • 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.

    • 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?
