The umpiring is appalling.

But we're still our own worst enemies.

The ball was largely in our forward half that quarter but we kicked 1.3.

Kudos to Oliver for improving his game from last week. Bursting from stoppages, breaking free from tackles, it's been a really important step in the right direction.

Lever and May have been huge.

So many passengers though.

Lever, May, Viney and Oliver are playing well, just need the others to lift their games.

    Brereton talking about respecting opponents.

    Raydon Tallis says hi. (Brereton stood on his head in a reserves match.)

    Oliver, May and Viney playing well. Hibberd and Lever playing ok the rest have to improve.

    May and Lever really shone in that quarter. Gus also has lifted. Melksham conspicuous by his absence - again. Oliver and Viney very good.

    Yep, at least the effort seemed to be there in the 3rd by a group of them.


    The umpires have to be taking the [censored]. 

    Yet the Adelaide fans have still got the effrontery to complain about umpiring. Almost all the high contact frees to Adelaide have resulted from ducking the head. 

    Umpiring standards are a blight on the game

    Ducking or incidental high contact - some common sense please.

    This is a joke and not a word from the commentary. Eddie would have popped a vein if this was against Collingwood. 

    Nicks’ message at break

    duck into tackles

    • 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.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      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?
