I have to agree. As I said, I didn't like him, but the highlights stand!

 

He could play. But he took out too many players behind the ball

I was there the day he punched Stephen Smith and Peter Giles

Never Forget it. His record is tainted, or should be

    I was there on both those occasions, and can only agree... That is why my acknowledgement of his ability has cred.

    I saw the Smith one. And who could forget Bruns. Today those charges may have stuck, and that would have been the end of him

    well, i thoroughly enjoyed that

    hard not to look on with incredibly envy

    Agreed,

    Hard fought game but instead of the thread being about a great game a troll comments about the 2009 draft and others still wallowing in self pity chime in. Ffs get over it it's 11 years ago.

    As for the game after poor first halfs Grimes, Broad and Balta all improved.  Tigers played Nankervis behind the ball in the 3rd quarter and Balta moved forward. Others are correct in the assessment of Dusty just putting his head over the ball and not looking for frees.

    Standard set for us to chase

    Best 

    Tigers -Dusty, Edwards, Short, Graham, Cotchin

    Cats - Duncan, Guthrie, Stewart, Menagola

    Melbourne have to get mentally tough and the way to do it ???????   A preseason with the Tigers is the answer.

     

    1 Dees need to do an SAS preseason 

     

    2 Goodwin needs to watch and strategically spend 100 man hours working out this game

     

    3 Tigers are completely beatable (they bleed) but clubs are too lazy to figure it out.  Watch how they get the footy to Short and Edwards to link through.  They are excellent kicks and had about 15 forward 50 entries tonight.

    How mature are the Tigers compared to our guys.

    Tigers - all the players, squad coaches , support staff sing the song. 

    Demons - sing the song and miss 3 players including the 6’10 captain. 
     

    Footy is about IQ and making the right decisions

    I'll stick with ablett thanks, he also managed to win a brownlow in a bottom side, dusty has been playing in a good side for the majority of his career

    Robbie Flower was better than him.

    After watching that just not buying CHF as our greatest area of need.

    Lynch and Riewoldt both got involved after half time, they were barely sighted in the first half. I’d say they were the two that got involved and provided the structure to steady the ship.

    Geelong will rue that opportunity for a long time, they were very close to having that game sewn up in the second quarter, just squandered their shots on goal

    Sure there is an exception or two, but they like each other.

    I could have detailed more but refereing to Brown CHF as being our greatest need as in recruiting. Finals record 7 games, 9 goals, average of 8 disposals.

    I always feel empty after a GF. Not because I'm thinking one of my passions/interests is over for 6 months and there is now a void (Because I'll do something else), but because it makes me question why I even f...ing bother with it at all, watching these Richmond gooses carrying on. 

    And then like clockwork, I'll be back again next year with that absurd hope that it could be our year.

    Completely relate JD . . . although my emptiness is driven by the realisation, almost every year, that we are miles away from the standard required to win premierships.

    And the Tigers pay the players the same $$$ in salary cap as us, and yet some here defend our recruiters and list managers. It is time full a full and uncomprimising review of how we value players.

    We are miles away from winning a flag...we have holes in our list witch we can never fix eg no gun forwards & our last one was Neitz who retired in 08! Can’t inc Hogan as hardly played & Tom Mac had one flukey year,  we also have culture & leadership issues which raised their ugly heads throughout the season and continue to do so.

    • 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?
