Playing a fast side who have added Hunter Clark, we have gone slower. Hunt and Bedford must be on the nose.

    That is the most utterly disgusting team we have picked all year. The ins include slow wet wags, I like the way they drop Lockhart and don't bring in someone to play on Butler. What is going to be. Tomlinson ?????? St Kilda would be wetting themselves looking at that side.

    Hibbo will get Butler

    How do you rock up late to training and your housemate turns up on time? Especially given they cant do all that much in 'hub-land' anyway.

    O Mac's form this year has been ok and Wagner is capable enough and will provide pleanty of effort.

    Hope you’re right but this team looks very slow to me...

    We bemoan Goody for not making changes, then are gobsmacked when he brings in 6. We are a fickle bunch!

    I just cannot fathom why Lockhart has been dropped. 

    Is there something more to that?

    Absolutely flabbergasted, and that’s got nothing to do with my views on OMac and Wagner either.

    Don't mind this side at all.

    All the players that we've bought in are goers and more than capable of playing the roles required of them.

    The only real disappointment for me is that Jayden Hunt didn't get a go.  I recon he deserves another crack and is capable of kicking goals.

    Agree totally.  Looking forward to seeing Wagner in the side again.

    Hasn’t exactly brought in 6 that will improve the side though, has he?

    We wouldn't bemoan him if they were six we agreed with.

    That's the one that annoys me the most.

    The others I can some value in, especially with Oscar as the Saints like to go quite tall down forward, but Lockhart has been consistently good for the last month.  

    It's a very strange decision to say the least.

    It's like the Nuremberg trials in here for the Wagners. Give them a [censored] chance.

    Exactly.

    Needs to explain why he didn't select Dusty, Gaff and Kelly.

    Don’t think the number of changes is the problem and nobody seems to be upset about TMac or Harmes being dropped. They have been [censored] all year. 
    I am just confused by some of the changes against a fast team, after we got burnt by a fast team 6 days ago. That’s all.

    Initial reaction: Jesus, we've hit the panic button.

    Calming down a bit: not so bad. Managing sore players might be a factor.

    Fritsch stiff - he wasn't great last week, but he still took 10 marks - Brown won't give us that. Lockhart also stiff, but I think Rivers is an upgrade.

    Harmes and TMac well and truly deserve to be dropped, and Sparrow and Preuss were never going to be playing.

    • 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?
