Wondering how many possessions ANB & Tracc have had after quarter time?

 

Clearance work is disappointing to the extreme. One of the most one sided performance I’ve seen in a while against us. Very concerning when the only mid missing is Viney.

    uninspiring.

    If we lose this, it'll all be on the mids/clearances. Getting killed.


    They keep waltzing it out of the middle. Luckily we have a Lever and May shaped wall in front of our goals, otherwise Freo would be on top.

    I thought he’d have a massive one today given how “angry” he was over the off season and the fact the he’s playing on a debutant.

    It's been going downhill for 3 years, but we've lived with this falsehood that we have this amazing contested footy team.

    Anb had 8 disposal in the first quarter. 

    Since then he's had 1...

    They seem to be setting up to get behind us and push it forward.....what ever it is we have changed nothing and need to

    If I hear after the game, “we were unhappy to get beaten in the contest, we pride ourselves on that” I’m gonna vomit.

    We have no reason to be proud of it. None.

    Brayshaw hasn’t taken one centre bounce. He’s been on the wing all day 

    Still hasn't impacted. Turns it over under zero pressure. 

    We have an AA ruckmen against a rookie who can't impact. Winning taps. But zero impact. 

    We are shocking.

    Nothing to do with what's going on in the box.

    Exactly. We know how teams are going to play our midfield, they even say it in interviews, they force us under the ball and spread away, yet we never seem to try anything to combat that.

    James Jordan. BOG. 

    Im with you. He's leading the others. Woefully slow forward line.

    Is Goodwin the right guy? ?

     

    Petracca is a class above. Worrying signs.

    • 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.

      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?
