The stream keeps crashing for me.

Fill me in please? <3

What i can remember:

Agrees with Roosy about Zoneball

Believes its starting to come together

Wants to continue that growth and development

Seeing consistent performances

Plenty of areas to improve.

Few questions asked:

Roosy's influence?

His response included - Way he has been able to galvanise everyone. Everyone looked up to him. Brings everyone together (coaches and players).

Team is first etc.

Focus on defence? how do you explain it (looking magnificent)?

Not a fitness issue in the past, Early rounds turned the ball over more often than not so defending more than should be, other teams more efficient with ball use (retention - geelong etc).

Excited about monday?

exciting for US, another great challenge for us with where we are at as a group. We are really clear on where we are heading.. Looking forward to it.

Dunn turnaround (since moustache)?

Very happy he signed on.

Cam pederson?

Simplified the whole thing, went back to basics, doing the real team thing..

Finished on: Still got a long way to go but its really exciting!

    Mentioned the fact that our biggest improvement has been our ability to keep the ball from turning over.

    I've been saying for years that the goals from turnovers has been the number one reason why we've sucked so much. Every week we seemed to average about -60 points in this area (coincidently a pretty close match to our average losing margin).

    Chook did the application to caoch the Dees after Bails sacking get lost in the post? :)

    PS it is still a killer the first 3 Port goals last week directly from our turn overs.

    • 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.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?
