Underwhelming so far

Hard to do well when your whole first choice midfield isn’t playing to give you first use of the footy.

    Bulldogs have loose players all over the ground. The always have a loose player around the packs to flick it out to. 

    Yeah, we are getting sucked to the contest to quickly, where they have the experience to know to keep one out the back and trust someone will win the ball.

    No Oliver no Melbourne 

    No Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Melksham ........Defended well. Our small half forwards need to get to work

    When Hunt was run down earlier for holding the ball two players were nearby with arms open asking for the ball, good to have options but they have to be alert, talk and protect the ball carrier. Happens too often with us. Better end to the quarter though.

    James Jordon is so far ready for senior footy. Drops a simple mark then gives away a silly free kick. 

    Hasn't impressed at all.

    I was clearly joking. But yes our lack of midfielders is clearly killing us. 
    Also our forwardline is hot garbage.

    It’s a practice match

    but jeez we look average (again)

    It’s hard to take this result seriously. We are missing 6-7 of our best 22 including basically our entire midfield except Trac.

    I'm patient mate, but he hasn't started well.

     

    If we keep playing like this,  don’t be fooled by a last quarter rally when the dogs have put the queue in the rack. This is awful.

    • 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?
