To be honest Jaded he is leading with his head. It is brave but poor technique and to be honest, dangerous. Needs to change it.

If it was Selwood they'd all be saying it was courageous and talking about how many weeks the other guy should get

    It's weird, I don't feel like we are playing all that badly it's just little errors here and there that cost us.

    Felt a little bit the same and then I tried to think of who played well that quarter and I struggled to name one

    Goodwin needs to eyeball the midfield at half time, surely they can improve on that

     Dam buster alert! That quarter had way too much % time played in Brisvegas's forward half. Keep dishing up more of the same next half,  the pressure  will crack our defence wall. Some very gettable goals missed don't help.

    Brisbane worthy flag fancies. They are super.


     

    Not 15?????????????

    When the umpires department is led by incompetents, every kick looks further than 15m

    Hate to disappoint, but it's like this every match, every week. A crisis, ignored by the AFL brass because ???? who the [censored] can work out what they're thinking.

    Now that kick to langdon?, definitely 15 

    Poor choice by Weid to play on.

    Their general field kicking and work rate to get off their opponent is better than ours after quarter time.

    Just can't see us winning this..

    Brisbane are on another level unfortunately. 

    Agreed Dazzle. this is about if we fight or if we roll over

    signs aren't; good so far

     

    Oliver surprised because he's never had a holding the man free kick

    Anyone who still thinks we will win has rocks in their head.

    Their switch is epic. Either that or we’re not running very hard

    We are plodding.

    • 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?
