Great comeback second term keeping them goalless,can't believe we're still in this,a top 6 side would have 15 goals on the board.

Saints pressure definitely dropped off but our kicking is killing us again.

We've got this

Jeez would it hurt to throw Vandenberg in the middle to get him into the game? We drafted him as an inside ball winning machine and the Einsteins think its best to plonk him in the forward line.. unbelievable

Btw this game plan is a bag of horse [censored]

Clearly what we do defensively works.

It's just a shame what we do the other way doesn't.

Jordan Lewis was on the ABC yesterday. Said this EXACT thing. Bad sides have to get defense right, then figure out ways to score. When they get that far then they can think about being more attacking to make the other team defend.

We are now at step 2 in the process. It's not as bad as it seems today

We have gotten nothing from Brayshaw, Garlett, Hogan and Vandenberg

Lift boys come on

Are you even watching the game? Brayshaw has been one of our best.

Watts, Grimes, Jetta, Viney and Gawn all solid so far. Umpires not so much.

Rubbish. Brayshaw is always at the ball and knows how to tackle. More than most of the nuffers in this team.

I used to tape our games and keep our wins but this year I have deleted them all (including previous years) because I just don't see us ever getting better and these bictories seem hollow.

Again today we keep making poor decisions and inaccurate executions, everyone is guilty.

Watched the Doggies v Coll game and both these playing groups are miles ahead of us unfortunately.

I have said this so many times, but until we get players who can dispose of ball correctly, by hand and foot, we will be a bottom team.

We are losing this game because of atrocious disposal, including kicking for goal, poor tackling that still allows the ball to be disposed of and a lack of running to make position.

On a nice dry track. Hardly apples..............

8 touches between Garlett, Vanders and Hogan - just not good enough

Garlett is just the sort of guy though who can bob up in the second half and snag 2-3 goals from nothing. Fingers crossed today is one of those days.

Weak, pathetic, incompetent, lethargic, unacceptable, disgraceful., hopeless, weak willed, negligent, heartless, prosaic, half baked, useless, timid, unskilled, leaderless, rubbish, negligent, putrid, egregious, pusillanimous, gangrenous - and that's a list of the positives.

your 3 word half time analysis?

Thank God for our backline.

Fair dinkum I don't know how Dawes gets a game. I know he got a goal but the number of soft marks he drops and his pathetic disposal undoes any positives. We urgently need to draft a replacement.

Trouble is I think we have been at step 1 or 2 since 2012!

If you take your eyes off the stat sheet, Watts' decisonmaking and execution has been terrible, and he still tackles like a wet lettuce.

Jetta, Grimes, Dunn (mostly), Gawn, Brayshaw and Stretch get pass marks.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
