Cant wait until we have 2 big marking forwards down there....

That’s the key. We just have to win ugly at the moment

    We are heading for a convincing 3 point win.

    Just have that feeling again

    Defensively we are playing very well. Backline superb. I know they are missing a lot of their forwards, but so are we. 
     

    Still a pretty rusty game. Feel like we are just lethargic at times.

    Lever and May are killing it. Great to see TMac playing well.

    So much for Harmes huge preseason. He has been jogging anytime he has to chase.

    Our mids are still getting sucked in and Freo are getting it on the outside

    It is extremely hot.

    Oliver needs to kick faster, over playing it and its putting pressure on others and himself.

    Couldn't agree more.  Needs to get first option away quickly once he finds space.  Playing as if there's no opponent out there at the moment and lairising a bit too much

    Lesser lights standing tall. Like the forward pressure from Spargo, ANB  etc. Key backs great again.

    Should be six goals up though.

    There are a few doing it. Rivers has overused the handball a few times.

    Same old same old. Still too many players who just aren't reliable when the ball comes near them. Hunt, Harmes, Tomlinson etc. Jetta off the pace.

    Clayton Oliver - surprised to see he'd had 18 possessions. Needs to do more damage.

    And on today's performance, I'd be playing Daw (if fit?) over Jackson, who just looks a bit lost.

    Probably take a few games for most to reach full match fitness with the longer quarters and run off a few excess gym kilos of muscle (for some).

    Jackson undergoing concussion test.

    • 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?
