Awesome Football were dishing up to the supporters and sponsors, they must be over the moon.

We showed for periods of the game we were really competitive.

???????????? 

Give yourself a pat on the back Simon.

Cant blame umps  we are just turnover kings, our half forwards playing from behind.

 

And almost every other player.

It might be my bias but I don’t remember the last time Oliver wasn’t held a a stoppage

How can a select few of us (too many deniers on here) see it at every stoppage? It is so frustrating when soft calls are paid to the opposition. 
 

 

Selection not looking great at the moment.

We drop Jetta for Sparrow, send Harmes into the backline where he has been a proven failure, and then put Sparrow into the middle who is nowhere near it, whilst leaving Brayshaw on a wing where he is no good.

Surely if we were going to free up centre bounce rotations for Sparrow, we could have made room for Brayshaw instead?

And then we bring TMac in for Bennell and TMac is somewhere stuck between trying to be a half-forward, a marking forward and a midfielder, and is none of them.

    The skills in that last passage of play just before pt goalled were dog vomit. Especially from Oliver.

    Like the use of "dog vomit" - no better way of describing it.


    How does brayshaw continue to get games??? Yet Tomlinson was brought in for outside run & can’t get a game

    Let's see how we respond in the second half. We can claw back 5 goals in the 3rd quarter if we play well. This isn't over yet.

    Mate, we won’t kick 5 goals in the next 3 weeks

    Pure and Simple 

    9 years to the day since 186 and we get served up that bile

    Goodwin and Jones

    Just go...

    Reluctantly I have to agree. I've resisted accepting the calls for Goodies head. But if he doesn't make changes and can't get the charges up in the 2nd half, I'll need to rethink my support.

    Jones is in the limelight of his career (a great career) but his time is nigh.

    Clarkson is probably also gettable. Any of those 2 would be a hell of a lot better than what we have got. 

    Clarkson will come only for the bucks or if his ego makes him think he’s god and can work miracles.

    How bad might we play when where mathematically out of finals contention. This is putrid when the season is on the line.

    Why is Brayshaw not playing on ball ahead of Sparrow?

    It's about time this paper team got a dose of reality!

    Jones is finished.

    T.McDonald can only play down back or trade him.

    Salem needs to be traded.

    Brayshaw must be traded.

    Don't know what to do with Oliver? Just tell him to handball it.

    Weideman must be traded.

    Roos has [censored] us up the [censored]!

    Picked the coach and Traded pick 2 for Salem and Tyson.

    Add to that the poise and kicking skills that Bennell's omission robs us of.

    Is there a forward apart from Fritsch that's got more than 2 possessions?

     

    Weideman 1 (no marks), Hannan 1 (1 mark), Jackson 3 (no marks), Pickett 4, Melksham 4 (1 mark), TMac 4 (3 marks), Fritsch 6 (2 marks).

    18 inside 50s for 1 mark inside 50.

    How’s the server holding up? Good time for a stress test if you need to.

    will be more fun than the second half

    Well, that was a debacle. I’ve put a lot of our problems down to Goodwin previously, but this is down to effort, intensity and skill execution. Not even close to resembling our improved performance the last few weeks.

    Anyone else feeling quietly confident about tonight's game?  I know that's not a normal feeling for Melbourne supporters as we probably have a closer relation to the feeling of dread, but I think we can knock these guys off.  

    You and I are really good judges If the dee Wise ???

    Dees never stop continuing to disappoint. 

    Pathetic. There is no urgency tonight pure and simple. Skills are shocking. Pressure is shocking. Just pathetic all round

    • 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?
