If Weideman kicks a bag tomorrow he has to be an automatic replacement for Petty.

And where would you play him,half back?

    Max needs a bit of a rev up I reckon. Hope the boys get around him and get him going. 

    Maxy definitely struggling again. He’s actually tapping to Swans mids!!!

    If we open up the forward 50 for BBB we will win by 6 goals plus

    Leave him one out with the forward flankers streaming towards goal for a crumb 

    their backline is strong on the ground and in the contest - we need to clear it out!

    Im sorry but 9 times as many centre clearances is an absolute disgrace.

    Swans tackle count much higher too.

    Come on Lever.. Rivers.. especially Hunt and Gus.get going for goodness sake.

    Jackson shut down as is Fritta.

    Goodsy needs to give them a serve re pressure.

    Congrats Oliver...Spargo...Tmac... bbb...Max... May and Langdon.

    But please make our tackles harder.

    McDonald (back) + Wiedeman > McDonald forward + Petty

    Petty isn't the future. He's not an AFL standard defender, no way known.

    Should be 4 goals up. We kicked well early but missed 2 soda set shots there and Tracc needs to nail those snaps if he is to be elite. Hopefully second half we get our goal kicking accuracy right.

    Harmes has justified his selection

    Pre-bandage Harmes was horrible. Poor decisions.

    Post-bandage Harmes better. Perhaps the head bandage changed his mindset?

    Bit in that.

    Enjoyed the games of Harmes and Jordon so far. Harmes has justified his selection and Jordon continues to improve. 

    Benny Brown looks more of an aerial threat today compared to last week.

    Dees by 30.

    Once Harmes stopped trying to break every tackle he got better.

    Jordon has been good, the cleanness of ball use will come with games and belief he has that few moments to compose before distribution.

    Kicking efficiency at only 50 percent that quarter. Clean that up and we'll get somewhere.

    Love you Max but your goal kicking stinks big time. U 2 trac.

    Kozzie was in space with no one on him coming from behind on his right side.  No one within cooee...just off the bench maybe.

    Doesn't usually happen unless 50 out or more but with Maxy on a pretty severe angle (for him) they might wanna consider dishing off to a better kick like Kozzie on the run in this situation.  Has to be a better percentage chance surely 

    ANB doing some nice things, Melk, loved that 1st goal when heat was on, Tmac work down the ground was key, he can go back but then the 1st goal was clutch. Lever jumping up and down with frustration was funny. So many moments in this game be still my beating heart. God bless Langdon. Benny doing exactly what we wanted. So many more comments for the end of game.

    Also kudos/ hat tip to Longmire - he is scaring the crap out of me, Syd winning clearances, stalled our intercept marking and has numbers at the ball. That said how good are the Dee's didn't drop their bundle - thanks Goodwin!

    Imagine not looking that good as a 21 year old, 12 game key defender. 

    There is 0% chance they drop him now. Show him some belief. He will deliver in the back half of the year.

    Gosh Petty looks very shaky. Needs to significantly build up his strength. 

    Thought Harmes has been ok to good. Max a bit quiet again, though came into it a bit more during the second.

    Quite a few have the fumbles.........calm down and play simple footy.

    Petty’s having an absolute shocker. He started poorly but improved in the Hawthorn game so let’s see what the second half brings. 

    Should be 4 goals up after the dominance we had for the first 15 minutes of that quarter. 

    If the ground is as greasy as the aisles here, I’m not surprised the kicking efficiency is down. Few slipping as well.

     

    Fritta has to get his [censored] together. He’s all over the shop. 
    Clearances. Clearances. Clearances. It’s the only way to get Sydney to stop riding our arses

    • 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?
