Even though we are winning this is being played the way the Lions want. 
 

our defence is a bit fumbly and we 2-3 goals against we’re just poor defence. Hopefully the nerves have settled and they have a better rest of game.

    The crowd looks barely 5k, the fact we've had to move the game from our home game for this.... just another bloody putrid call by this tin pot business that is the AFL.

    I take it back... the crowd is fine.

    Cameron is a cheat, we need someone to sit goal side of him.

    Think we were more comfortable at the intensity, pretty happy with that first quarter in a whole. Brisbane can’t sustain the chaos for 4 quarters

    Not a bad quarter. Just need to tighten up on Cameron, kick the goals we should kick & have players like McDonald get into the game

    According to the commentators Salem had Cameron for those goals and Smith has been shifted on to him after the third. 

    Smith was standing on his own in the pocket like a headless chook. Salem was caught trying to help out because Smith keeps losing touch and winding up standing stagnant outside the pack. He’s causing our entire defense to lose shape. Need to get him the [censored] out of the team. Surely the coaches can see the experiment is done and finals is not the time for experimentation over proven form in Hibberd. Get Hunt or Hibberd back in next week.

    Hibbo in for Smith

    Not sure it would have helped. Smith at least has the speed.

    Can't help but feel that some of these selections are for the long term, getting experience into the younger players.

    Ugh could really just go for an easy win tonight. Brisbane's small forwards have been dangerous and they've been on top in the clearances. Need Maxy to lift, well beaten by Big O that quarter. Nibbler absolutely superb so far, making it look completely dry out there.

    So seems a lot of Crows fans are at the game judging by the boos every time Lever touches it.

    Garbage of the highest order.

    A lot of highlights that quarter! It's actually insane how good this game is so far.

    Boys have come to play.

    Clean footy, will be interesting to see how we counter Cameron. Causing all sorts of headaches.

    Need to make him accountable and not give him a free run

    Seems Salem might have been on Cameron. I Smith fails I'd give Bowser a crack.

    Feeling good about the game, but we need prime Jetta out there right now to combat the Lions' defence.

    With McStay out for the game, our backline is probably too tall. We need Smith to play short, which it sounds like he's been asked to do (now manning Cameron).

    Rivers shaky. Bowey characteristically calm. Gawn quiet early but getting into it. McDonald and Brown both providing a good target.

    I feel like all the Lions' goals have come from turnover. They're a good turnover team, but we're getting them more than they're getting us. Excellent base to launch the rest of the game from.

    Smith just not ready for this level of game yet

    Losers. What a joke to go to a game your team isn’t playing in just to boo someone. Seriously get a life.

    If we can transplant a footballers brain into Smiths head, we’ll win this comfortably. Defense is struggling when the ball hits the deck, as Smith and Rivers are losing touch of their men. Tidy that up, and we’re sorted. Our forwards look dangerous tonight. 

    Lions are such a good side! Berry and Bailey are such good footy players.

    We need to slow down the ball movement into Lions fwd 50 as we look under done in the backline. Hibbs not selected... hhmmm

      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?
