Exactly. It's a crappy excuse

Even poorer consisting our excellent run with injuries this season.  Finals sides are gearing up to peak. We wave the white flag.

    I heard from a very reliable source today, that before the Geelong game the players were cooked and according to the source the club thought they had about 2 quarters left in them.

    Take that for what you want.

     

    so what was their excuse for the Carlton debacle ??

    Those two last games should not be forgotten if we are to improve beyond our present mediocrity. ( yes we have improved from poor to mediocre but there is a long long way to go.)

    Congrats Jack. Next stop: Brownlow.

    I mentioned before - reading the Roos tea-leaves - that Max has some work to do (as signposted in his pressers).

    So not surprised by Hunt's regard from the coach's box.

    But Matrix Oliver? I still thought he'd be contender in the Rising till the very end. What's the deal there?

    Clarry was good. The reality is there were several others who were better and more consistent over more games. 

    Little matter. The kid is going to be a bazooka. Gun doesn't do him justice.

    Is there a breakdown of how Choo-Choo polled in the games that he did play? Strange in my opinion that they don't have a mechanism to counter for absenteeism, like shaving off the bottom handful - five or so - of individual polling games - not a big dif for Clarry, but Jack probably deserved last year's Bluey as well.

    Agree on the Bazooka though. Our best prospective chance alongside Jack for a Chas in a long time.

    Most intelligent people realise the afl is not even. Age and conditioning play a massive part in outcomes. Im not going to pretend i know afl conditioning but i think its a safe assumption unless you're already elite most players would take a year or 2 to condition for a full year.

    So as a fun exercise go run a couple kms a day for a week or 2 and let me know if you tire out by the end of it.

    Maybe then you can put some perspective in your dribble

    You even admit it in your comment that we were not funals standard

    I'm looking forward to watching Roos' speech myself but it sounds like he's tried to impart a last bit of wisdom not just to the players but the club. Pointing to Richmond and saying "don't become that again". 

    Over to you now Goody!

    Surely anyone who went last night must have heard anything about off field trades and movement?

    Bit surprised Maxy got 3rd. Surprised Jonsey was 2nd but maybe I have just forgotten his first half of the year. He really is a great leader. Well done to Jack. But I would not have had votes for the essendon, carlton or geelong game. Just because they were terrible games. But anyway that wasnt going to happen. 

    Sounds like it was a good night and a good atmosphere in the room.

    I asked Jack Watts if his mate Hoges was staying put and he just gave me the thumbs up and said "Yep he'll be ok". Pretty sure that's his standard response though.

    How impressive is Brendan McCartney.  I think his impact on the group can't be underestimated.

    Dean Kent is not a dumb operator. Picked the winner and the top 5. Only one who said Viney will win it.
    Clearly listens in post match reviews.

    How good is Hunt's speech. God I LOVE him!

    And just goes to show how valuable Grimes is, he might be not a world beater, but he is a great leader off the field.

    I liked his description of Hunt: "...will stop at nothing to get the best out of himself and will be a fantastic player for this club for a long time".

    I would say that Hunt is one of our better public speakers.  He was composed, articulate, gracious and he remembered to thank supporters!!

    He has all the on and off field attributes to become a real leader for our club.    No pressure but Hunt could easily become Viney's V.C.

    I said on here when we got him, it was the best bit of business we did, I asked Hunt about the big hug he gave McCartney when he got the award and he said 'he's earned it'

    • 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?
