As long as it is just a well earnt rest and nothing more serious because no doubt that without May we cannot win a flag. 

No May and no Tmac. Definitely not confident. 

Absolutely.  No May. No flag. Or even prelim.

 

Some very lax defensive running.

    Midfield defending has been poor thus far. Clarry, Trac, Harmes and Langdon all jogging while their opposition runs off.

    Coaches need to find a way to fire them up consistently.

    TWICE now Oliver just ambling back with no intensity instead of chasing his man, resulting in 2 shots at goal. 

    So much for wanting to be the best teammate he can be.

    This is the stuff that ends up spreading through the whole team.

    That was quite possibly the worst goal we have given up this year. 


    They are beating us the exact same way they did last time

    Adelaide need to kick 10 more goals like that and they'll win; demons have to be switched on with their defensive running because Adelaide will try to run it out of defence all day.

    That was very lazy.


    I’ve said before and I’ll say it again.

    Salem’s  disposal is very ordinary under any sort of pressure , especially handball.

    I agree with this

    Deja vu all over again.

    Rat**** defensive running from Clarry. He’s well off today. 

    Cmon Dees fire up ffs. Should beat these sorts of teams by 60+ by now.

    Where's the tackling? always struggle when we don't tackle

    They know they can beat us and we are just not getting out of first gear. 

     

    Why do we fail to show due respect to these teams

    • 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.

      This season cannot end soon enough. Disgraceful.

      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?
