I'm amazed at how often we burn a player in space and go long to a contest instead. It seems every kick-in we'll have a player free straight up the ground at around the 45, and ignore him to go down the line to a contest. Incredible.

    People we have the wrong coach & over invested in 2 defenders who can’t defend the goal line on 2 occasions! We now have Gc , Carlton, saints, Nth who have gone passed us again .. a disgrace after a decade of pain & early picks it’s like 2010 replay

    We've just got to change the coach.  Players careers will be over before they know it, without any inspiration or leadership to get them through it with any sustained success.  

    We can't let this go on, it's the way we're playing that's just devoid of any spirit or confidence.

    After today I’m pretty confident we will have a new coach next year if we are serious


    Smith has looked better today. Amazing what can happen with a little bit of sorely needed game time.

     

    Save for one non free on Tmac, umps have been very favorable to us.

    Put Daisy Pearce in the box. 

    Yep. Her earlier suggestion about keeping Petracca in the forward line was a good one too. 

    are they drilled to man up?  are they drilled to find a team-mate?  where's the connection between max and the runners?  They've had a lot of time to get these things sorted.  Does Goodwin know what our players are skilled at?  

    not worth watching - so utterly predictable.  And our blokes still guard the space where only a miskick will go; still wear themselves out chasing after the bolted horse.  Geelong is laughing at us  The whole competition is.  Goodwin, this is you

    My favourite player already.


    Milkshake tries to steal a third miss for the quarter but is denied by Hunt.

    Seriously our back line is taking the [censored]. Thank god they dropped Jetta. Our only defender who isn’t busy trying to be a show pony and actually defends!

    This this and this.

    When Geelong have the ball you'd swear our players were instructed not to go near a player. Laziest bunch of idiots to play the game.


    Oliver barely even jogging on the transition. I pray that the coaches start to tell him that this isnt on. He really has to work on his defensive running to become a great player. 

    Really disappointed.

    • 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?
