Jack Watts, 4 tackles, 1 Disposal. I would guess he's been given a bit of a cook during the week and told to get stuck in or else.

Jamar 10 hitouts and 4 disposals so far. Decent work from him.

 

Best quarter from Jamar for a LONG time. Watts tackling & going in but one badly missed mark.

But, his tackles are so ineffectual. He has no physical presence on the ground, he doesn't tackle, he cuddles.
 

Pedo has been good so far.

We've got to hit targets and keep our feet. Too often we've got the pill and a loopy handball puts a team mate under pressure or drop to the ground while our opposition stays on their feet.

That holding the ball to Viney is an absolute disgrace.

Why bother attacking the ball


We need to control the ball better and rebound a bit faster. Sydney look to be putting on a lot of pressure. On Watts he needs to stop skirting around the pack. While Cross and Viney are chasing everyone around laying a tackle and then attempting to follow up Watts does a bit of a sidestep around the pack. Either Tackle or put Salem on.
 

They might as well not have umpires at all if they're just going to cherry pick whichever frees they feel like, usually to the winning team's advantage.

Rampe tried to give the fend off to fresh air. Must have forgot he was playing Melbourne; there's never going to be anyone there Dayne.


Jack Watts was miles away from his man in the zone. Why? Why can't he use his elite speed to close down his opponent and force a pressured kick?

Watts is just a p u s s y...


Jetta gets cracked in the head by a soft Sydney player. Is it a high free? Nope! Holding the ball.

F u c k me ..


Pedersen is the only player running.

Yep, I dip my lid to Pedo. I thought he was a list clogger but he is having a dead set crack all over the ground.

 

great work by pedo to run forward into the centre square then and lovely mark from dawes.

boy we needed him to kick the goal. gotta finish as a forward.

he's a gem.

  • 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?
