We did well, got tired. Grimes should have known 5 min B4 siren. He kicked to a contest & they ended up with a goal. Simple easy posession would have been the way to handle the last 5 minutes of Q2

    Tyson, Howe, Watts and Vince all need to lift even a little and we will win

    Tyson copping the hard tag.

    Still done some nice things - the goal assist to Nathan Jones was Pendlebury-like. Gets caught HTB a bit too often though.

    hopefully Terlich is subbed off for Evans

    That will be a big boost for us

    I hope our other mids are giving him a chop out.

    I'm not concerned about the drop in Howe. I really believe he will learn a lot playing down back, and when our forward line is functioning he will go forward again as the third option that Dunn is currently taking. Dunn has been servicable up forward but I think he is better down back.

    McKenzie 2 tackles to half time, some players with donuts. Last week Ablett, Selwood, Watson, Libba and Pendles racked up huge numbers plus led the tackle count for their respective teams. Not good enough on our behalf.

    JKH gets in good position - May get lucky in the 2nd half

    His foot skills are letting him down a bit. But can't question his work rate. The chase down tackle early on when the rest of his teammates were asleep drew applause from me!

    I'm at the game Bail can't kick 2 position or 4 goal. I knew he'd miss he's a choker. He hooked it 2 the left from 30m out very slight angle

    I'd h8 2 rely on him 2 kick a goal.

    Great comments guys. Keep them coming please. No video or radio here. Best 3 games I ever saw were 88 Prelim. 94 final (schwarz game) and 2000 final with Bruce and Green. Hate this mob from here.

    Poor kicking and resulting turn overs costing us again. Terlich, Kent, Bail.

    Chip trying his guys out. Kicks like a backman, unfortunately ;)

    Not sure about letting Petro kick out from behinds

    Malthouse and Roos in the box are fascinating contrasts.

    One looks cool, one screaming at his assistants.

    Maybe Mick needs some meditation training, instead of watching Alpha Centauri all night long.

    The Blues whiteboard, & MM's way to goal > %CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%BF%CE% blues flying, like cosmmon_orts

    :cool:

    3rd quarter = premiership quarter. We must go into the last break in front and with confidence. C'mon dees believe in yourselves and believe in each other.

    The blues showed they can get a run on vs Richmond so when that happens we need leaders to stand up. I'm only keeping up with this from afar so I'm going to be doing it tough for the next 70min!

    He's not too bad a kick for a spud actually. He's miles better at it then Terlich anyway. I'd have Alistair Nicholson kick out over Terlich.

    I think eventually Grimes will be back pocket/small shutdown defender.

    I can see others playing from the half back flanks in our future.

    • 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?
