Tracc has had two times he should have kicked for goal from 55, went for the pass and stuffed both up. 
He’s had 7 touches and I know he’s not on his own, but Dusty he ain’t. 

Brayshaw devoid of confidence at the moment. 4 touches at 25% at half time. 

Bennell has offered nothing.

 

 

Eddie, Kingy and Derm whinging about taunting in the game, and they only show the Vanders example. Of course they don't talk about Max being targeted off the ball, including being repeatedly punched in the chest in the first quarter. Or maybe they could talk about McHenry going after May after the ball is gone. Biased umps and biased commentary.

    Mahoney was so smug in the club video when he said last week was a once off performance. He was almost laughing when Ben aksed about the shocking performance against Port.

    Fast forward 6 days and we are seeing something almost identical from a Melbourne point of view.

    Yeah, we are up by a few points, but have not played any better than last week.

    Our club is absolutely broken. We might end up winning by a few goals but right now any sane footy follower would have their money on the Cows.

    This game has heartbreak written all over it.

    Who would you bring in Jaded when a small fwd goes out?

    Surely a Bedford couldn't do worse.

    But it really is like switching witches hats at the moment.  We don't really have anyone better than ANB in the magoos right now.

    Best game from Viney for a long time.

    I think he's kept us in almost every game this year.

    Seriously, this must run deeper than just what is happening on the field.  12 players don’t just lose their skill set between the end of one season and the start of another.  Reeks of “stick it to the coach”.

    Our kicking in general, bar the odd one here and there (mostly to players 20 meters in the clear but even then it's a coin flip) is bloody awful.

    Even senior players have no ability to finesse and just take a little power and pull a kick to a leading player.  It's horrid.  It's been a problem at this club for 50 years!

    What I'd give for an Yze or Travis Johnstone in this team, now they could hit targets.

    The amount of time we are open and free on the break and we can't hit targets is unbelievable, when you are watching live it tells the complete story.

    3 easy goals if we are better skilled going I50.

    What do we work on at training?

    This is embarrassing....

    Adelaide are absolute puss. They are easily the poorest team in the competition right now and we’re just fluffing around  with it. If we don’t come out with some killer instinct in the second half and put this game to bed, this game and season is dead.

    At least watching fox gives me the opportunity to laugh at billy brownless and his punting adds.  
    what a [censored] head !!!

    Looking a bit sickly too bbo. on the sauce I suspect

    Lots of passengers at the moment.  Crows are smashing us just not on the scoreboard.  If we keep them in this game they will beat us

     


    Jeez Vandenburg is a [censored] footballer. He’s basically selected to try and hurt blokes. Can’t find the ball and can’t hit a target on the rare occasion he does. Been a waste of a list spot for years. 3 year contract hahaha

    Bennell is cooked. Great story he got back playing, but my grandmother moves with more urgency...and she’s dead! He’s shot. Can’t run even if he wanted to. Sad to see.

    Viney and May playing well. The rest have to lift enormously. Goodwin's career on line.

    Unless... the weapon is released to play his natural game

    Mids keep it going forward

    Free space/block/ruck it to ground/ create space and allow Harvey do his stuff

    I expect no likes ...because most of you guys would be happy for the big H to fail.

    Not me

    If we don't lift and the game continues along the same lines, do we take it as a statement about the coach from the players given the messaging throughout the week?

    Our coaches should be directing our players in the back line not to aim kicks to Melbourne players in the second half.

    Clearly a flawed tactic so far.

    Edited by Sigil

    Stoppage clearance 13 to 8

    And people still rate our mids?

    • 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?
