    I don't post much on gameday threads. Wow you're a negative bunch!

    A lot of people don't seem to understand that after the match starts this topic is as much about expressing frustration at the poor play as applauding the good.

    Imagine if Clarry cleaned up his goal kicking, both set shots and on the run! With his talent level it’s hard to fathom why he misses and often by a long way.

    Think everyone is getting a bit carried away. The boys would be knackered, again had to isolate this week after the GC fiasco and then quarantine in Perth. They would be physically and mentally wrecked, just need the 4 points and I don’t care how. It’s another north at Blundstone game.

    Clarry is a great footballer in the heat of the battle, amazing reflexes,  however give him time to think and he stuffs up. Thinking without pressure is not his strong suit

    And he'd jhave locked the 3 (or 2 due to Seedsman) brownlow votes today...

    Joel Smith being a late in and randomly playing the best game of his career is exactly the kind of thing that would happen against us in years gone by. I’m starting to believe.

    Gawn and Jackson. Only 1 mark between them.

    Are we just exhausted? Because these sloppy skills are a big worry. 

    I would think yes, given the events of the last fortnight.

    This would be the textbook “flat week” if ever there’s one.

    In the end it’s why separates Bont from Trac and Oliver. Hate to say it but they are both average kicks. 
     

    I do like the darts coming from Bowey and Salem off HB though. I look forward  to that part of our game blossoming in the coming years.

    Cudos to Joel Smith- has done well. Pleased for him

    He’s playing to his strong suits, keeping separation and the using his athleticism to nullify contests or his leap to take some grabs.

    What does Angus Brayshaw add to our team?

    A bit like Adelaide’s let down after their biggest game of the year. Oh, hang on…..

    Percentage is still matters, what if we had a draw with jeelong and Port smashed Dogs next week?

    Plays on the quiet wing and runs all day to allow Langdon to dominate

    Kudos to the coaching team. Looks like they've turned Smith into solid defensive depth

    They're taking it easy and winning by 22 points.

    Just get the win and no injuries and I'll be happy.

    Then we still finish 2nd and get a home final. 1 or 2 is the key.

    Two way running, courage in the air, smart ball use (though at times this goes missing), and he's very important culturally to the players.

    Aside from that, nothing.

    J Smith playing his role so far. Hope he keeps it up. 

     

    Not sure why should be any more tired than any other team. Adelaide played a showdown last weekend 

    So we play last game Geelong MCG??!!!!

    ..fixture rd 23 was just on screen..

    • 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?
