    Jones, Viney -  Jesus!

     

    Done with this game. Gil has ruined any integrity the AFL had left and We are so far from handling the moment it’s scary. Big concerns 

    What the hell is our midfield doing? What the hell is our forward line doing? We could not be playing worse. 

    The style of football we played against Geelong has dissipated. What's happened to the chaos game? Not gutted but I'm very disappointed. This is a repeat of what Richmond did last night. 


    The only positives are they think they’ve won 

    and  4.8 

     

    could have been worse

    Nup. Everyone nervous. Jordie slow as molasses. The run is over. 

    Would be surprised if we got closer than 70 points. 

    That’s was the worst 1st quarter I’ve seen in years

     

    Playing like schoolboys.  Lucky we are not further back.  Time to settle, and get some composure. They are keeping it simple and we are fumbling and turning everything over.  We are not sticking our tackles or winning the contested ball.  Isa at our worst.


    How is that incompetent onthetake bald [censored] Nichols umpiring in the finals?

    Rattled, not handling the pressure.

    Disastrous. 

    All 4 goals from turnovers. Can’t hit a target. Belted in CPs. Nothing going right. 

    The great news is that we actually can't play worse than this. Right?

    How eerily similar is this to last night?

    We have just got to come out firing and keep things simple. No more fancy crap. Just work hard and execute passes!


    Shut up Nicholls you f'n dud.

    Was a pathetic quarter. They looked extremely anxious and continually panicked, so whatever was said before the game hasn’t worked.

    good thing is there are still 3 quarters to go, bad thing is there is still 3 quarters to go

    Eagles not playing especially well. When you are under no pressure and you handball to a teammate's feet in the middle of the ground, the opposition will score.

    We are playing selfish and lazy football, and not respecting WC.

    We need a refresh. Not a single standout. Keeping Tyson in over Fritsch in dry conditions was a shocking oversight. Not the cause of all our problems but a catalyst in their first three.

    This is why I was banging on and on about making the 4. Once we missed the 4 it was up to luck. Unfortunately for us we drew West Coast over there. I lived in WA for a decade and I knew this game was always going to be mission impossible. Next year we need to make the 4 and play these finals at the G. That is the only way. I think the only side I have seen in my time that could win today is the Brisbane side of Voss, Black, Aker and Lappin. Perhaps Essendon's 2000 side as well.

    Face it guys, we are fumbly and have not settled one bit, the Eagles are playing bloody good football by taking our mistakes and moving it forward. The only saving grace is it isn’t a 10 goal lead for them at qtr time.

    Unfortunately this team is not ready for a GF. Really need to target a classy ball user to play on the wing in the offseason.

     

    Just look nervous, silly fumbles, missed handballs and targets. We just need to kick a goal to settle back in. Plenty of time to come back from this.

    • 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.

      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?
