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.

    • 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?
