Fritsch and Lockhart cost us huge this last quarter, back to Casey for them


Just too many players who drop marks or miss handballs and kicks or make poor decisions.

Oliver had 2 handball clangers in a row which led to an Eagles goal.

Frost makes a great tackle then turns it straight over. How long has he been in the system?

Petracca drops marks and misses easy shots.

Garlett misses easy shots.

Hore takes a great intercept mark then squares to CHB and turns it over. His kicking is not reliable enough to ever take that kick.

Set shots terrible.

Repeat ad nauseum.

Season gone.

Whole footy department should be under pressure. Coaches and players. What a waste.

    I’ve said it before.

    Our team is full of dumb/plain footballers. Not ‘game smart’.

    Still loved the effort but there were so many opportunities tonight where we just needed to do simple ‘team’ things that we weren’t able to do.

    Not to mention bad kicking for goal.

    Post game thread will be toxic but with this list, their ground and their umps - heads high

    Typical Melbourne supporters. Act like we're a great chance after the hawthorn game, some of you should be so embarrassed by being 'excited' about the win

    Then you praise Frost and suggest he is loyal and many suggest he is ahead of May

    The year is over, accept it, move on and stop blaming the umpires when we are [censored] and inaccurate 

     

    If good players can’t  kick straight at goal they aren’t good players. Simple fact.

    mot the umps fault, our own for missing far too many easy goals

    Looking to see Rioli rubbed out for his concussion causing sling tackle on Smith

    Smith back on, but has to be careless and medium impact given he was down for a while and went off for concussion test. 


    Seriously, Melbourne must send a please explain to the AFL about poor umpiring

    • 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?
