I must be watching different game to Martin. Hunt has been disappointing. 

Pedo taking a lot of one grab marks and using bulk. Weird and smith both good forward. Gus has been fantastic, I was critical last week but this week our best midfielder.

Gus worked into the game in the latter part of the second quarter but I don’t think he has been the best mid. He’s getting held and scragged a lot though.


Baker with 14 touches is he giving a lot of run and carry?

Doing well

Old dee when weideman is in the ruck is he holding his ground well and he had a limited pre season does it look like hes blowing out at the end of the half?

Just spoke to the bloke who is supposed to be calling the game for Casey FM (They thought they might go live in the second half but are still not operational) He was very impressed with Baker.

 

We are lucky in this country.

By co incidence found myself sitting next to a few players and their families.

No one bothers them. Great to see

Hunt has been good, not great. Still too good for this. I am a huge Brayshaw  fan am bitterly disappointed hes out of the team.Working into it under heavy duress but to say he has been 'fantastic' is fanciful. I hope he is by game's end.

I'd like to know more about his performance too. Quality touches ??

No love for Oskar Baker who has had 14 touches?

Yes, your right. Excellent! Lots of dash.

Ah no.... Just posting what is happening about 10 metres in front of me

Weideman is apparently rucking well, has kicked 4 and given one off to Balic, but you say he has "no physical presence".  At the same time you pump up a bloke you want in the team.  A 30 year old who should be doing OK at this level, but offers next to nothing as a key forward at AFL level.

In the best 3.

  • 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?
