Olivers kicking for goal is putrid

    More kicks like that Fritsch and you might stay in.

    Joel Smith putting up his hand. Oliver needs to learn to kick goals. Imagine that kick on GF day to get in front against the cats or Dogs? Shudder.

    Worst kick for goal in the comp

    Edited by loges


    Fritsch is a very lazy and soft footballer. Has skated by on his undeniable talent but he has zero intensity. 

    Kozzies form is a bit of a worry, last weeks incident aside, might need a weeks spell to refocus the mind and get rid of any niggles.

    Anyone who thought that had no idea.

    I wanted Brown in from day dot, and was a bit puzzled when he was dropped based on a mediocre performance on a wet deck with way too many talls (all 3 + Gawn and Jackson played that day vs Carlton).

    Brown wasn’t fit. He needed more time

    He looks ready now…

    If Joel Smith leaks less than 3 goals, that’s a win. I hope he makes me eat my hat. 

    Just had a little nibble of my hat.

    Picket , Fritsch, Petracca and Brayshaw 3 touches between them….ugh! 

    To be fair to Brayshaw, all of the game that quarter was played on the opposite wing.


    Spargo is burning his tickets despite structurally being important for us.

    Too worried about the wind messin up his hairstyle

    Great pass to Clarry.

    Also great positioning for his own goal

    Not good spargs 

    So. They’re obviously trying to pick us apart with the short kicks and running hard through the middle. We know that’s what they’re doing, right?

    • 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.

      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?
