Tom McDonald is almost playing his worst ever game.

 
 

Any danger of laying a tackle today Demons?

I've probably seen enough from Neville Jetta now. As much as I wanted him to make the grade, it's just not going to happen.


I just don't know how anyone can defend Watts.

Everything he does he does at about 20%. He doesn't man-up and he provides such meek leads.

He uses the ball really well, but that's all he does. He's like a vampire or a leech who feeds off his teammates hard ball. Can't win it, and can't even halve his contests.

Great goal there from Frawley.

j kelly got 20 touches and 2 goals today.

just saying...

Tyson has 11 to half-time. What's your point? Are you surprised GWS picked a good player at #2?

Chris Dawes is so awesome. Picks up the dead ball at half time and practices his goalkicking with it.

:wub: :wub: :wub:


If Watts is like this under a good coach then we should trade him. Rather have his direct opposite (clisby). We're playing with 17 men.

Absolutely hopeless. How many tackles stuck?

Far too many MFC players opt out of heavy body contact when it's their turn to go. And in many cases when its their turn to go they don't have the nous to realise or desire to act!

Great goal there from Frawley.

If he was playing kick-to-kick he would be a star, but he's not.

Suns are smashing us in total disposals (191-148), yet they are also winning the tackle count (35-29). Says it all really. They should be 8 goals up.


18 scoring shots to 8

Lucky to only be down 20

They are killing us around the ground. They are much faster than us and we are far too loose.

Desperately needed another goal before half time there. Still winnable but we just can't get and keep possession.

If he was playing kick-to-kick he would be a star, but he's not.

If he were playing jack-in-the-pack, he'd never get the ball.

KH needs to be subbed. Hasn't got a clue how to contest, pressure or chase. Back to the magoos for more education


So many rebounds turned over at half back. We are back to having no system for taking the ball out of defence.

Roosy is going to earn his pay this Halftime.

We have to change attitude during the break.

 

Roos isn't going to like this.

Because every now and again he does something that sparks a little bit of hope that he might just be that elite player we've all hoped he'll become.

But I am well and truly done with defending Watts. Young players make mistakes, that's expected. But there is no excuse for his lack of effort and weak as F intensity at the contest.

  • 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?
