We paid money to come to our club and kick goals.

Get him in and just let him work with Tmac.

The time has come to unleash BBB.

    He actually loves the club. He’s just frightened of being labelled as biased. So when he sinks the boots in, it helps the ‘unbiased’ narrative.

    No one else seems to give a rat’s whether or not they sound biased. ?

    We desperately need a real genuine KPF instead of Weideman. 

    I seriously think he has two quarters to prove if he wants his spot.

    Hes certainly not alone up fwd but hes the last one in  with not a great deal of credits.

    Biggest difference between these two teams is desire. They have it, we’ve left it behind. Find it again and we bring it back. Don’t and we lose easy. Simples. The most disappointing thing is we MUST have known what they’d bring, and why. .

    Our whole defensive structure is gone. Could be from a breakdown at any line. Once we lift our intensity we will be fine and get the job done. 

    Jackson continues to improve. 12 touches a goal and 6 marks for a 19yo 2nd ruck. His second efforts and running are great

    I'm still hopeful that we can win but we just need to get out of the habit of playing catch up football in the second half. We may have gotten away with it against North and Brisbane, but we won't get away with it every time.

    Start hitting a target we might have a chance.

    And there it is.

    65% efficiency is pathetic as is our lack of pressure.

    Fix that or we lose, end of story.

    Doesn't matter. His complete lack of effort in the first 30 minutes set the tone for the rest of the boys and gave Collingwood a lift across the board. Not only didn't he work for the ball, he wasn't even within 50m of most contests. Not good enough and this predicament is not solely on his shoulders but largely on his shoulders as well as Fritsch's ball use and Gawn's lack of domination. 

    Complete lack of effort ? In the first few minutes he was being held of the ball and denied a fair run at it. 5 times. UMPIRES TURNING A BLIND EYE as they have done all season. Not his fault we arent in the game

    Even before Buckley’s announcement this was a danger game. Every year there’s a team down the bottom that probably isn’t reflective of their actual ability and I’ve felt the Pies fit this. Not saying they’re top 8 but they’ve got quality and that quality is rising to the top today. 

    On the flip side our quality is barely showing itself, Oliver was literally doing everything himself at the start of the second quarter before his teammates pulled their finger out. Gawn seems off, marks not sticking and taps not going our way. Petracca is having a nothing game so far. May and Lever being kept out of the game through good planning. TMac only having a bit of a game (though did well to give LJ the goal). And Kozzie barely in the game. 

    Long way to go, so much to do. We came out of the blocks against Brisbane in the second half, we need a rocket up them for this game as well.

    No question Weids has had no impact but our turnovers and kicking into the forward line has been terrible.  

    Seems to be 3 on 1 every time we go forward.  Last week Weidermans impact was at least bringing the ball to ground and bring small forwards into the game.  Can allow them to mark the ball inside our 50m

    Can we kick the ball well

    Wow Weids first half is playing himself out of the side. 0 kicks 0 marks.

      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.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      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?
