So for those not able to watch, who is standing out? Statistics would suggest N Jones, Viney, Trengove and Terlich are all getting amongst it. Anyone standing out? Conversely, who's struggling? Nicholson copping some flak I see. Anyone else?

I guess, after last week, to be 3 points down at half time is a positive.

Disposals: 180-190

Clearances: 17-19

Inside 50s: 26-22

Contested possessions: 58-67

Tackles: 33-22

 

Viney 14 touches, 7 contested, 5 clearances

This is where our culture will come from, kids like him.

Crap game
 

That was the arsiest goal of the year from Watts. Still great composure to slot it from 50 under pressure.

Loved Kent's attack on the ball. Might get a game on the sidelines, but well worth it.

Jack Viney is great in close and frees up Jones a little.

Jordie is doing a great job tagging.

All in all, it could be worse.

Yeah, I've been against us taking Aish because he is too outside, but watching Viney tonight, Aish would make full use of Jacks handballs out of the packs.

Good times going forward for us hopefully.

I agree Jordie is doing an AMAZING job on Ablett jr so far, hopefully he keeps it up!


have you ever listened to BT? absolute [censored]

At least he's not completely and utterly biased

Crap game

We are down 4 points at halftime to the team that was $1.13 to beat us

bloody great game from where i am sitting

(now pray we dont get run over in the 2nd half)
 

No doubt McKenIe would be a useful inclusion as the tagger in a good side, but can we afford to carry him until we ARE a good side? Unconvinced, but a better performance certainly.

My god. Tony Shaw is getting even worse. I've never been this frustrated with commentary

It's significantly worse when he's paired with Dermott (who incidentally treated us today to "Only the very elite kicks of our ball can do it when running backwards........................Peter Daicos could do it"). FMD.


They got on top for the 5 minutes Jones was off but otherwise we have been good but made some errors.

Never has it been more obvious that without Jones we may as well forfeit matches.

We lost our sh!t as soon as he came off.

Defensively we are going well, but the poor use of the footy with overzealous handballing is killing us.

And players who can't kick to save themselves, like Nicholson, are also killing us.

Oh and a lack of forward line is also killing us. Clark plays, we win hands down.

Crap game

Lighten up!

Gold Coast are a good team - they already have 6 wins for the year.

We aren't getting thrashed, our youth are really showing something and we are playing exciting quick corridor footy.

What did you expect?

Think he comes into his own more when the other team have a midfielder worthy of this sort of close tagging. When they don't we're basically just a man down.

he may not be biased but you never know whats going on in the game when he is calling

why oh why is davis playing as a forward?

Agreed. His shot at goal from the pocket said at all. Never wanted to kick it from the outset.

Unbelievable umpiring by McBurney again

That 50 was ridiculous, and exactly the same thing happened to Jones out of the middle 10 seconds earlier and no 50.


that was not a [censored] accident from Campbell.....you are a DOG campbell brown

Campbell Brown is a disgrace, that was intentional

 

Campbell Brown is a dog. I hope someone breaks his face.

Explanation for those without TV/radio?

Brown was tackled by Strauss, Brown rolls over and flicks his foot up into Strauss face. It looked as ugly as a Dan Nicolson disposal.

  • 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.

    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?
