We actually look quite polished with the ball. Saints butcher it quite a bit but their pace and pressure hurts us behind the ball.

Ratten is coaching very well atm with a squad missing a lot of best 22 players.

So much possession for such little reward

Good fight back though

Bayley Fritsch is a coach killer ... really needs to get serious about the game

Now just [censored] win it

Agreed.
Give him a f&@$?n ROCKET up his a&$e.  

 

I would have thought that swearing at an umpire was an automatic 50.  St Kilda did it at least twice and..... Nothing!


What is great, is that the young guns are showing the way. With a legitimate tall in the 50, we could be very good.

Kossie, Sparrow, Dogga, JJ, Rivers - keep it up boys!

    We looked better with Jackson in the ruck. Perhaps the unpredictability of that allows our mids to get on their bike a bit. Lots more movement in the middle there.

    Bound to happen at some point. Munted body with a few knee recons, carrying the team for so long. Frail body, great tap ruckman and we need to start adjusting to that. Jackson good in ruck as a harder body. Best we start bullding some flexibility and diversity in ruck role.

    He is getting smashed at each marking contest and getting no love from the maggots

     

    Fritsch is useless,worst kick in the AFL by far!!!

    It is Spud’s Game, but that doesn’t mean StK need to be helped to victory.


    Sparrows was great he will be a very good player ,such composuer for a young bloke

    Whats the point ?

    12 to 5 frres against us.

    Fair shake of the sauce bottle.

    I just want consistency.

    12 to 5 and we are winning.

     

    ??????????

    Amazing the umps put the whistle away in the first 15 minutes. That’s okay if they stay consistent but no by second quarter they are picking frees out of their [censored], mostly to the Saints. Again we are own worst enemy with our goal kicking, should be 2 goals up at least. I am a great fan of Fritsch but if you can’t kick a goal from 30m on a 30 degree angle I think we have to look at alternatives once we have our big forwards available.

    Keep two forwards in our forward half at all times, we win this game.

    First half of that second quarter we had no one one forward of 50 and it killed us.

    Viney getting caught with the ball was not his fault. He literally had nothing to go to.

    Would be hard to tell on TV.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
