    Totally different players with different requirements for their positions.ie forwards need good delivery.

    Spot on and the only good delivery forwards got today was from our experienced miss like AVDB, Melksham and Jones

    A convincing win by a side that hasn’t played for 5 weeks is much more than an ordinary win. A foolish post. 

    as quoted earlier a heap of afl listed players against a team of youngsters ,afl players train to be ready for a call up to the ones so 5 weeks off does not mean a thing

    An absolute second half goalfest. LoLo may be a stylish way to get your lockdown home delivery but the floating rear suspension is so passé. Pump up your shocks!

    Enjoyed the Browns' contributions, Mitch unfortunately out with an inopportune injury, Ben showing something up forward and Campbell would be a major improvement in the big league. Talks common sense with more than a hint of authority.

    Plenty to like about  from the guys that played, both veterans and rookies. Is Aaron Vandenberg a chance of a recall at some stage? Body and Soul player at his best.

    He might be a good option high half forward manning a crafty hb type.  Will rotate through the middle.  Think he is back in the queue behind Jones.

    Essendon had 13 AFL listed players out there. 3 or 4 of our old boys excepted and I doubt they were any younger. Still, you’ve got an angry agenda, so whatever.

    didn't think I'd say it...but in the heat of September there might be a role for the body player like Vandenberg.

    Very good game today

    Bradtke down back was interesting. Didn't do too much but didn't make any mistakes.

    Cannot see any candidate to replace Hibberd next year if needed. May need to trade for that player.

    Baker is becoming good at this level.

    Maynard?

    What would have been a pass mark? Like specifically what did you want to see from him?

    He was a big reason we got to the Prelim in 2018… was brought back into the team around finals time, and performed brilliantly.

    Nuh

    31 pressure acts

    Jones doesn't have the legs to cover the ground and fill that gap

    Spot on. It's not a like for like.

    As well as covering the ground, much of the value of those small guys is to get a hand in here and there to disrupt play. It requires reflexes/quickness. 

    ANB is doing this consistently, even when he's having an off game.

    Jones is probably relying on someone to go down to get a game.

    perhaps what forward should do,lead,mark and kick goal .Its very simple if he wasnt gifted goals today by his team mates he might have had very bad day

    All KP forwards get gifted goals it is called team work. You also have to be there in the right spots. He had a good game and is a proven top level forward who had not played for a month. Good effort IMO.

    • 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?
