    We should learn from past mistakes IMO Petracca is like a few we have had shows  brilliance against poorer sides but not up to it against good sides. Use him as a trade to get a good player who gives every week. Before we have another Watts situation.

    Stupid, Petracca is way better than Watts, he’s gonna be a 200+ game player for Demons

    We must have lost by 20 goals!!

    They were all hopeless according to Joeboy!

    Worse.  We did everything we could possibly think of to hand them the game and still only lost by nine points.  The entire team were diabolical and they still almost fluked the win.  They actually WORKED at losing.  The put effort into it.

    Season ending loss

    Another wasted year

    Out coached again

    Flat track bullies

    Mediocrity prevails again

    Continue to disappoint

    Down hill skiers

    Poor decision making

    Aren’t good enough

    Wayward kicking again

    Athletes, NOT footballers

    Lack genuine desire

    Start planning 2019

    New coaches required

    We lack leadership

    got Jackson in to lend a hand

    he got Roos and we began to sing and Bartlett came in to manage the band.

    goodys a good coach when we win

    bur doesn’t seem to have a good plan B

    we all pull our hair out and whinge and moan

    Demanding someone on the ground to lead

    So at the end of such a day - 

    sing ob-la-DEE-la-da (hopefully we win the next two!)

    We have beaten no one of any consequence .

    Does that not tell you there is a serious problem with the average level of talent ? 

    That argument is tripe.  If we were blown-off-the-park by top 8 sides, then I would join in the SEN chorus.  Fact is we have lost to Geelong twice, Port, Sydney in the last minute, despite dominating I50 and/or scoring shots.  Without McDonald, we pushed Richmond for 3 quarters.

     

    I am thinking beyond scoreboard.  Time for our supporters to try it too.

     

    There aint much wrong with what we are doing, and ladder improvement is rarely linear.

    Petracca IS a no show when needed against class. A la yesterday running into open goal in first couple of minutes and overthinking/panicking/wrong option....... Take your pick. Against the Suns he was great but so he should have been.

    20 possessions yesterday and 5 critical errors. Huge potential?  

    Really? He has the most work to do for 2019 which will be a make or break season for him.

    There is one fact you keep ignoring we are not good enough to beat better sides we have lost everyone. Lost get it not good enough to win. As for not doing much wrong who was the rocket scientist who thought playing Hunt was a good idea? He has been poor all year played most of it at Casey, then an extended period injured then one average game at Casey and Inspite of the coach saying it is too early and is picked. That turned out well. We are doing lots wrong or we would be winning.

    It tells me a few things...

    We can't cover the loss of serious high end talent...Lever, Hibberd.

    We are also trying to cover the loss of another couple for handy players in Viney and Melksham.

    Our match winners are still too inexperienced against the best teams.

    As far as talent goes we are not a complete list and need to invest in another class mid, defender and serious small forward. Also need proper back up for Max, he's had to carry way too much load this season and needs a break that we can't afford to give him.

    There you go, without trying too hard you've mentioned another reason.

    Selection has been an issue all season.

    I also think you are being a bit harsh on Petracca...I don't think he will be the superstar many had hoped for but his is a good contributor and streets ahead of serious underachievers like Watts and Silvia.

    We will agree to disagree on Petracca, grossly overrated IMO. It is going to be a interesting October when the new CEO takes over. He has no commitment to anyone in the FD. I reckon there are going to be a number of changes.

    I hope he stays well away from that area 'old dee'...

    Well as you said our selections this year have left room for considerable improvement. How do we play a guy like JKH for weeks when he is clearly not up to AFL level. I am no fan of Bugg but he is clearly better value than JKH.

    Hope so. This lot a chummy little group who've been left to there own devices. The FD isn't too of the heap.

    I'm not advocating the CEO run footy...but happy for him to seriously review its capabilities.

    Hate to harp on Harris but he was symbolic of our real nature. An instance comes to mind. Think it the 3rd. The ball in middle to be bounced,He comes off the bench runs to the half back area..... He seemed totally lost , confused...at sea as to what to do...who to pick up etc..

    The Ball is bounced Sydney outnumbered us at the contest...JKH still not involved or covering anyone.

    That's Melbourne ;)

    • 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.
