What a rubbishy and boring game of footy. 
Must be time for a beer.

    Oliver's goal, again.

    Sick to death of his hot potato handballs to complete disadvantage of team mates, rather than taking responsibility himself.

    Nothing to see here though says @Dr.D

    How F’ing typical to crap in our own nest. Poor by Baker to not keep his feet. Why is Smith out there?

    How many years will we keep wasting forward opportunities with [censored] kicking and ball use?

    I what this season to be done. I’m over watching the same [censored] every week.

    Can they actually kick the ball instead of criss crossing the ground with hand balls. Essendon wait for the mistakes.

    Good seats, ****house game. 
     

    We look lost and jogging around the ground like a training drill. Good work all round so far.

    well they are certainly not playing like a team playing for a place in the finals, and quite frankly they have done nothing to deserve to be in the finals.

    Terrible quarter. Keeping them in the game. Fritsch can't kick for [censored].

    I'd be telling Fritch to lay off the next time he marks inside 50. His kicking for goal is costing us.

    I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying. 

    Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

    Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

    Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.

    oliver ? 

    OVERHANDBALLING ????

    Frittta ??and Spargo ?misses 
     

    We are shizzzzzzzn and dumb 

    get it right and we win !!! 

     

    Every week we have heard from the commentators about Melbourne's "stars".

    Most clubs would kill for a line of Gawn Viney Oliver Petracca, throw in Salem, AVB as well. 

    We just play such one dimensional football. We aren't getting the most out of these guys.

    We're playing alright. Just not finishing our work at the moment. Not panic stations yet

    Essendon are [censored] rubbish and we are making them look bloody brilliant with our pathetic use of the football, our soft tackling (AVB aside) and a non existent game plan. 
    Nothing is more predictable than Melbourne chocking. Nothing.

      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?
