You’re right that was an exaggerated tongue in cheek call. But anyone else who was so poor at their chosen profession would be in trouble. He didn’t even try to go back and actually line up for a set routine which I assume he would have practiced thousands of times. Or attempt to pass it on. It’s just inexcusable for a professional paid 6 figures

Thanks for clarifying the comment. :).

Yea, it was shizen.  But imo despite how much you make, humans still make mistakes.  I think anyone is entitled to a really bad day. (He's usually pretty good?) His confidence was clearly shot and a leader should have gone over to him quickly and told him to calm down. But er, does St Kilda have leaders?

He’s on 17.13 for the year. I know he had a lot of health issues last year and I feel for him. I’m sure he would feel awful with that game. But firstly he should have tried to pass when he was on the 50. Do the team thing. And when he took that last mark he just rushed it which was a poor call. Take your full 30. Settle. Give your teammates time to set up behind the ball should you miss. 
But St Kilda have been woeful all year and as you say lack leadership of any kind.

His confidence was completely shot. He played very well throughout the game in terms of leading up and taking marks and was involved in a lot of scoring chains.

He’s a good player. He’ll bounce back I’m sure.

Let's see the Pies get some excitement going and get some momentum going into our match. Pump up the crowd numbers. Also I feel their footy department is just waiting for them to snag a win as they can say "see? Buckley, coaching prodigy" and extend his contract.

Jamie Elliot is such a good player. I was hoping so much for him to come to Melbourne. Imagine us with him running around out there in our forward line.

Could be elite if his body holds up. 
Collingwood isolating him one out in the forwardline is interesting. Wouldn’t work unless they’re winning a lot of the ball and moving it quickly from contests. Hopefully we don’t allow that to happen next week.

If Elliot's body wasn't so brittle he would be talked about as one of the great mid sized forwards. He has great hands and rarely drops a mark. If only the Weid could clunk them like Elliot.

Amazing how we all have these wonderful conversations about how mental health. And yet seemingly educated people think its totally fine to sit at a keyboard and write this cr$p frankly and add to the culture of abuse. 

You'd belt him? Ive got money on him taking you on and giving it back twice as bad. I dare say he's pretty cut up and wouldnt hold back. 

Yes i really felt for him tbh. His confidence was obviously shot to pieces and i think he was trying to kick it before he overthought it too much.

Am I right in assuming that theirs no one sitting in the first 2 rows at Adelaide because of COVID?

Not because of Covid, but because the SA CHO has very weird ideas about potential transmission of Covid.  
 

Back to the game - I saw about 10 minutes on Kayo  - absolutely awful footy both teams.

If Jack Higgins played for us, I would take him out the back and belt him. Disgraceful attempts at goal kicking with the game on the line. Embarrassing stuff. 

"Missy" higgins..... how will he ever live that nickname down now?  haha

The crows performance against us was just a flash in the pan. 

After stealing the 4 points off us it looks like they are going to play the pies into form just before we play them. I'm starting to dislike the Crows.

Calm down ffs. This has nothing to do with continuing the culture of abuse. “Seemingly educated people” would know this.  Speaking of which your last sentence reeked of aggression so yeah, pot/kettle. Please don’t use nastiness to make your point.

I know this won’t be popular, but it’s a good thing Collingwood won

1- Takes some pressure off them before next week 

2- Elliot shows he needs close checking and we can learn a lot more from our opponents winning than losing 

3- SA do not deserve to enjoy footy. Bunch of Covid spreading a-holes and what they made Collingwood go thru is a joke. 

4- I hate Adelaide

Gutsy win by the Filth.  Elliot was superb.  Sidebottom, Pendles and Noble also solid.

I really don't get the eating their own on Buckley.   Took them to within a kick of a Premiership.  They were always going to come off the boil list wise after being thereabouts for so long.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
