Must have a good coach if we can still win when we are as terrible as the matchday thread would suggest.

    Demonland logic:

    Round 1 2020: 26 point loss in Perth = season over, we are terrible

    Round 1 2021: 22 point win at the G = season over, we are still terrible.

     

    Not perfect, but plenty of positives.

    Pretty much what I expected. An uninspiring win against a severely undermanned Freo. May and Lever will keep us in many contests this year.

    A Round 1 win is welcome but none of the other teams will be shaking in their boots watching that performance.

    Steven May and Jake Lever were incredible really. As good as I've ever seen from a defensive duo in our colours.

    Won that purely on talent rather than workrate.

    Clearances/stoppages and defensive running by mids still a massive issue.

    Lot to like about our next generation though, thought Jordon was great, Sparrow cracked in hard all day, Kozzy was a sparkplug, and Rivers and Jackson showed snippets.

    Lever sensational, as was his partner May. Great to see TMac find a patch of form too.

    ANB and Spargs leading the way for inside 50 delivery, but need their team mates to take notice.

    A front-running win.

    Got the job done. Will benefit from Viney, Weid, Ben Brown etc being back. Might expect Brayshaw to improve in the coming weeks given his impacted preseason.

    Spargo was good to see today. Jordon very solid debut.

    Lever has improved out of site. I was his biggest critic but he's really come on

    I think we’ll improve. The skills were poor but the intent was good. 
     

    Concerned about clearance after watching the Dogs and now Freo smashing us. Once a strength.....

    • 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?
