I'm more interested in this game then I am in the ones as I have no faith we can kick a winning score and the Giants.

This game however has interest. Looking forward to seeing how the two lads perform after being dropped.

Also want to see if the so called 'senior players' like Tappy, Jamar etc decide to pull there fingers out of there backsides and get fair dinkum.

    Quarter time scoreboard gives the impression of a similar (low) standard game to the main one

    Jamar???

    Watched the Scorpions thought Jamar was okay. Pretty scrappy.Thought no.17 was best along with 20. Not much from Trenners Toumpas, Mitchie although Trengove played in the middle in the last quarter and was better. Jetta good in patches but did not see anything to replace the current 22. Dawes is moving freely. Some heavey tagging on Michie and Trenners when on the ball.

    Did Dawes play?

    I didn't actually realise Dawes played, will he be given more time at the VFL to settle back into footy or does he straight in regardless of form, same question goes for Jamar. Dissapointing if Toumpas, Trenners, and Michie all had quiet games. I really think Blease should be given a run in the seniors.

    No but he was fairly robust on the boundary with some mates.

    So Dawes can walk. That's great news. Shame he can't run and play football.

    McKenzie and Nicholson best on. Please help us.

    of course he can walk.........he's also good at doing laps

    Clisby in for Terlich next week, yeah? (Unless his 28 touches were all dreadful…)

    McKenzie a possibility?

    Pretty disappointing that none of Trengove, Toumpas, and Michie got more than 19 touches.

    I'd rather see Nicholson than Grimes, both have shocking disposal, but at least Nicholson is going to run hard and have a fair dinkum crack

    Where the hell did Dawes come from? I thought he was perpetually 2-3 weeks away

    How did Dawes go playing with his new wooden leg?

  • Quote

    I want Clisby, Mckenzie and Blease as Ins.

    Bail, Byrnes and Evans were very poor

    Bail imo, is better in the back half, moving forward with the ball. I don't like him up forward.

    Clisby I'd like to see in instead of Bail.

    & I think Evans needs more than one game to find form in a unbalanced side.

    If Jamar can run out a game he must play. I am no Jamar fan but Spencer is getting monstered in the ruck.

    What about Tompas, Trengove and Michie? If they can't get the ball at vfl level...

    It's a real worry that Trengove didn't get amongst it more than that at VFL level, scary to think last year he was an AFL captain

    Trengove never dominates when at Casey like you might expect. As I have stated previously, his lack of acceleration and agility will not be improved no matte what level he plays at week in week out. He either needs time off if he is suffering from OP or similar, re-invent himself as an inside mid, or he is not up to it. Sadly, option 3 looms as the favourite.

    Mumford had 60 hit outs today, that is far too much..

    Our side is starting too far behind in the ruck stakes - and practically no forward line.

    When the ruckman cannot give our mids first use - and our mids don't have any targets to hit up forward - makes life hard.

    On top of that, we really need clean disposal out of the midfield, to even be a chance to hit a target going forward, Spencer getting smashed makes it impossible.

    • 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?
