Clear lift in effort in the middle that quarter. But still lost the CP count.

-12 CPs, -12 hit outs, even in clearances, but the telling stat, +12 in inside 50s for a 5-point lead.

Melksham's putting in yet another half-hearted shocker. Fritsch is nowhere. Jones took a quarter to get going. vandenBerg and Harmes are making too many errors. May's a step behind where he was last week. TMac's not a ruckman and not working into it.

Petracca, Weideman, Oliver and Lever are carrying us at the moment. We have a lot of room for improvement and should, if we have any self-respect, win this game well.

    Bring back O'Mac. He's a role-player, and the defensive structure seems to work that much better, which is where their goals are coming from (breakdowns in the backline).

    Spargo also playing a good game.

    But unfortunately you won't see that on here.

    Melksham our Captain? Really. Time to show us why.

    If people can't see how bad Tmac is then you need to get your eyes checked

    He is crazy slow and has very little confidence

    Thought Jonesy had a ripper quarter with some nice goal assists.

    Well done Weids, but gee he has missed some sitters. Seriously Goody must be so frustrated with miss after miss. 

     

     Im loving Spargo back in.

    Trac too strong as is Weid.

    Would like Milkshake and Fritta  to get involved more and the umps less.

    Was a great tackle before Pickett's goal, and has found space often as a receiver

    Big coming from me, I'm  a hater

    Spargo is a footballer in a team that plays rugby union

    We're 2 years too late.

    can still get someone for him

    Tmac would be a good player 10 years ago 

    Game is way too quick for him now 

    Soooooo many missed free kicks to us that quarter.  Kossie being held on to was so obvious.  Then how many times did we have them holding/dropping the ball and not have it paid.  Were taken high - play on.

    I know our goal kicking has let us down a bit, but for crying out loud.

    North do not deserve to be in this game.

    Jones really lifted that quarter.

    Can't say the same for skipper Melksham..

    Rivers also showing plenty.

    Good signs.  Great work by the weed, just him to get a good kicking routine for all angles (there were both to the left). 

     

    Maybe that umpires  (not sure what number) but maybe his whistle is broken and thats why we aren't getting fks


    That last goal they got was very annoying.

    Lever leaving his opponent, May not getting a fist to the ball and then Rivers not making the tackle. 

    All over them but unfortunately the scoreboard doesn't reflect it. If we want to make finals we need to take the percentage today.

    Same umpires as crows game same umpiring. 9-1 first quarter now 10-2 .

    That is fair enough Redleg but gee over the course of the year and even those games we've had some discipline issues.

     

    Spargo is finding space and using his strengths to advantage.

    Vision and delivery inside 50. It's a huge weakness in our game that he is capable of fixing if he is at his best

    enjoying his game.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
