What a rubbish topic x2

Yep, even after yesterday's demoralising capitulation I still roll my eyes at the hysterical negativity here

    Ditto JR what is this thread hoping to achieve aside from casting the net of negativity across the whole club? Forgetting all the magnificent wins we have enjoyed from 2016 when we finally started to emerge from the mire and from 2020 to mid 2024 when we were serious contenders.

    People are dark right now, I get it. They need to vent, thankfully there's Demonland!

    Time for an update......

    I still only rank this #2. The circumstances were horrific but the game meant nothing - just having to beat a lowly Collingwood to make finals for the first time in 10 years then going five goals down after barely laying a tackle in the first quarter deserves more scorn.

    Just my thoughts, Its not the loss, or that it was St.Kilda, but the way we lost. No direction from the bench to stop the goals coming. Surely after 2 or 3 unanswered goals we should have stemmed that flow. Then to have Melksham and Kozzy sitting on the pine. And poor Spargo (can tackle) but he is not the quickest.

    I just think the team management was to be polite Absolutely Abysmal for this game and a heap of others this year. Rest all the senior players who might stay next year, rest them now and give them another 4 weeks off.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.

      This season cannot end soon enough. Disgraceful.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?
