Kozzie & Spargo too quiet.  Kozzie is leading up to the player coming in for a long shot at goal even when there's no space on offer.  Play the percentages and hang out front and square for a possible spill once the player has committed to a long shot or a kick to the top of the goals.

I reckon Kozzie’s pressure has been outstanding

    What’s the go with Salem ACL?

    They just said it was a knee issue then on fox. Will get scans.

    From the footage I doubt it is an acl. Looks like a contact injury to a knee that was already strapped.

    Yes cant argue with that when we havent got the ball.   Not doing so well when we're in possession (in terms of small forward craft).  Further up the ground when going there....more reasonable.

    Thanks Binman... I'm extremely stressed about Salem. Couldn't hack losing him for an extended period.

     

    I hate with way Hunt bombs the ball in the backline without looking. Invariably turns it over. Also very loose. He’s not the answer IMO.

    Knee was heavily strapped. Why even risk him. Didn’t work.

    Ditto.

    Such a key player.

    We stemmed the bleeding in the latter part of that quarter. Need our big guns to lead the way here. They did all last year so I have faith


    Back to basics for me with the way the maggots have been pinging us.

    More kicking long and less handball

    And I just want consistency from umps.

    I love Bbb

    He wouldn't have played a game last year if you applied that logic

    • 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?
