It's staggering the blind faith I have put into the MFC. Is it possible that any other organisation could have abused that faith more?

 

That kid has got it. JKH just has that belief, we need more of this.

This is the Roos drafting.

Imagine what Roos could've done with our era of BP picks.
 

And JKH runs forward.

The rest of this side should be ashamed.

Well done Lynden.

Yeah, it's always hard to give things up, no matter how little value they actually hold.


Good to see everyone get around JKH for his goal.

absolute disgrace. 1st year draftee in his second AFL game, kicks his first goal in AFL and walks back to the centre square with not one MFC player to congratulate him.

if Roos doesnt blast them for that then he may as well walk away from the job

Who would win a foot race, Toumpas or Trengove?

First round picks.

Absolute Clown School.

We've had more disposals than them, but I expected us to have had lots of handpasses as we flip the ball around when in danger. Turns out we're kicking it a lot (and marking it too).

What are we doing, then? Ridiculous short kicks? Hopeless long kicks? Backwards/sideways movement? And why? Last week we seemed to show evidence of a purposeful game plan - where has that gone?


How many more years are we going to put up with this sort of performance without objecting to senior club leaders? Who honestly thinks most of our players were hard at the ball today? Spencer is huge but is also scared. Many of our players are happy to chase opposition players and not the ball. We are so SLOOOWWWW!

Based on that performance there is no improvement showing from 2013. We seem to be a minimum of 7 to 8 years from being competitive.

Confidence versus zero confidence.

We'll get there.

  • 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?
