I would drop Oliver for this game. Not even joking. He’d be out next week.

Yep. He needs to be on notice to wake up, and get real.

    Ultimately? Yes.

    His game plan allows super quick kicks to come into our defence.

    He picked Smith when he clearly isn't ready. 

    No, it was combination of errors forward of The ball, all good to blame the coach when Oliver gives a terrible ball

    Terrible kick from Oliver before but he's not the problem. The commentators on Fox and 7 have gunned for him all day. He's won a heap of contested possessions.

    Disagree. He’s been average at best. Disposals have been all over the place.

    Clarry.... easily one of the worst games ive seen from him sadly.

    B&F went to his head a little over the pre - season?

    Not just the best and fairest I suspect.?

    Think he was spent. He clearly wanted to turn this game around and was busting a nut in the last quarter. Was happy with his intent today to be honest. 

    Go home and play fortnite Clarry, instead of working on your craft.

    Bunch of deadbeats.

    Average? He has been a disgrace and we only started to look decent once we got him out of the midfield.

    This club just continues to bring misery to its members ... we continue to go backwards! Clearly Goodwin has a game plan which isn’t working & hate to say but we will witness another wasted list of players & another decade of nothingness!

    Clayton Oliver? Jack Viney? Jake Melksham? Jake Lever? Christian Salem? Tomlinson? Simon Goodwin? All auditioning for string quartet on the SS Titanic.

    It all statrs from the middle the bounce.

    If we start cleanly with composure, it rolls on.

    If we start with a panic ball that t rolls on.

     

    Oliver is starting us off in a panic.

    He shouldn’t be in the car. The conversation should be ABOUT him

    I’m angry.

    Angry that this drivel is served up week after week .

    Our recruiting and coaching philosophy is win the contested ball and the rest will happen.

    Well let me tell ya.

    It ain’t happening!

    Why is it Goodwin's fault when every player bar maybe Hibberd made a fundamental skill error that sometimes resulted in a goal to the opposition

    The first two hit outs of the last quarter were won by max Gawn. Viney bombs the first result in to a Richmond player. The second was also bombed in to a Richmond player. This coach has got to tell them to stop doing that.

    When is Oliver going to learn how to kick?

    Its his lack of movement.

    He will not run and move enough,  kicks off a step,  etc.  He's lazy.

    Get Clarkson. That’s what the $mill before Christmas ? needs to be

    Otherwise we continue to be nothing

    He wont be coming to coach this rabble SW.  But we certainly need to get our hands on a coach who can coach (Lyon?), along with a genuine KF (Cameron).

    It looks like he’s keen to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible like it’s a hot potato.

    I quite like Goody actually. I just hate his current gameplan. I pray he changes it.

    Exactly, and his direction of the ball s either low to feet, or high,  above the head.

    He's too cocky by half, and has stopped putting in his old physical work.  That hit on Selwood back in 2018 final,  where Bt and everyone said,  "boy oh boy, did you see that",..... nothing since from Oli.

    He is the one coaching them and it’s not getting any better .

    Ultimately it rests with him.

    • 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?
