Jones - career worst game

Melksham - the Essendon player

Smith - showed some glimpses

Hannan - played little part

Oliver - always under pressure 

Weideman - looked a schoolboy 

Harmes - tried without effect

Petracca - a major disappointment 

Brayshaw -fumbled and stumbled 

Gawn - had no impact

Spargo - little to enthuse

Frost - kept at task

Hibberd - obviously played injured

Jetta - loose and overwhelmed 

Lewis - nothing to commend

O. McDonald - amateur 3 quarters

That’s light on Frost. Him and Omac were horrible in the first quarter.

So was the midfield, especially Brayshaw and Tyson which led to the delivery by Meth Coast into their fifty. Multiple stupid and unskilled handballs and fumbles.


Bad post full stop.

We got to a prelim final and were over awed and out played by an experienced very good team. My 3 word analysis is for our team is 

"Too many turnovers"

Not fair to individualise players the TEAM played badly.

Team - seemingly no bootstops!

 

Season 2018 - a winnable flag

First time in my lifetime I actually thought we could beat the other side playing in the Grand final. That's what cuts deep about this loss, if we had beaten West Coast we could have been premiers.

This loss is in the top 5 most hurtful of my life.

I'm going to lay off the players, because the hurt is too strong to fairly analyze their performance.

Sad but true.

The Demons could not keep their feet !!  they could not handball.  Gave first few goals to the eagles from our mistakes and we played their (the eagles)  game   and not ours   !!

The team - overwhelmed by occasion 

 

   AND

 

thanks for season

And whom would you praise in 3 words for today’s performance?

Proudly finished fourth

I was scared to open this thread as I couldn't think of a single winner today. Didn't disappoint.

To be fair, that was an absolute dog day. Who did you think had a good day? Particularly in the first half when the game was up for grabs?

It doesn't mean the season was a failure, but that was a shocking performance today.

Yes what is it with that? Multiple Dees players falling over and costing us turnovers and goals.

This is not the first game that we seem to be playing on ice.

 

Not always one to go in for the three word analysis thread, but I can't really fault today's one, Joeboy.

It is a three word analysis of today's game vs. West Coast remember - not the season in totality

And I always thought that it was WCE who played on ice.

  • 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?
