Has slowly regressed other than the odd cameo "good" old Gus in minor patches the last few weeks.  'One touch' confidence has dissipated since 2018.  Not that he was ever super quick or quick but seems to have lost a half yard of pace (for Gus) also.

 

Dees not clean, some players zero confidence!

ANB gone totally backwards this year.

Are Clarry and Gus in the middle at all?

I'm in the forward pocket and Trac gave him a spray for not running up the field when the ball when out of the forward 50 and up the ground. 

Love to hear this - especially after his effort late in the Carlton game (granted, he would have been cooked)

Something is up. One of the best midfielders last year, languishing in the forward line....

    ANB ughhh... Running at about half his 2018 level and even that was borderline to sub best 22.  Going to be hard to justify keeping him on the list for 2020 i would think other than depth.

     

    Tackling?


    How many times does an opposition player get around a ANB and slip past him? Lay, or even attempt to lay, a tackle son.

    Overrated apparently. Pressure and tackles win games. No way we can win this if we continue playing how we are. 

    What an abomination the advantage rule is.....Umpires clearly have no idea WTF it is for.

    [censored] me we are rubbish today. No idea anywhere on the ground. So much for the backline being back. They can’t defend a fly. 


    Holding the man - Bulldogs. How many times are the umpires going to say that today? What about us?

    Woeful this quarter

    Jetta had to do better there.

    Clarry only 2 possessions. 

    Was on the Bont for a bit of that.  Bont not having much say either so far.  On Dunkley for the start of this quarter.  Lewis to Bont is a huge worry.  Surely Harmes goes to the Bont.

    Lewis goes back to replace Jones.  Jones into the middle from here.

    Yep, we’re still in the quarter time huddle.

    Brayshaw dumped again. Nev beaten on the goal line and they score a goal. Jones walks away then remembers" oh I'm the captain... " And turns around to give him a pat. 

    Man. The. [censored]. Up. 

    So easy for them. Free man everywhere with zero pressure.

    • 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?
