Ordinary start but we went on to crush a pretender side.

That's what premiers do!!!

Then we give away junk time [censored] which costs me a big  40+ margin bet . FMD !!!!  FMD again !!!!!!!

    For the majority of that game it was like watching a boa constrictor slowly crush it's next meal. We were really disjointed trying to go inside fifty though. Hawthorn at their peak would have won that game by 20 goals.

    So much wrist slitting.

    We conceded 35 points

    We are 4 and 0

    Plenty of people have short memories, not long ago we were rubbish.  This was a complete defensive effort

    Neal Bullen spending so much time in the middle of the ground is part of the problem why we can’t keep the ball inside 50 for as long.

    One of the most painful wins I've watched but it's still a win. Gawn, Harmes, May, Langdon and Jordan played well, not much else to take out of it except it was a win without Oliver and Petracca starring.

    Hope Wines is OK.

    Never looked like losing it to be honest, but won’t be rewatching any of that. That was a grind. 

    Well done James Jordan, best game he’s played for us.

    Hated it to be honest. yes 4 points and no injuries.

    so much to dislike 

    forward entry’s and structure 

    Pickett undisciplined 

    slow boring football not good great in prime time slot

    Had we not been coming off 2 6 day breaks that would have been an 80 point win. The game was over at half time.

    Best team defence in the game by a country mile.

    Mega Frustrated- gift kills where we could have won by 20 goals are so rare  this was a big missed opportunity.

    Still very happy for the win, and I loved tehe deefence.

    Love how we are banking wins playing in second gear. 

    Offence will switch on when we need.

    Percentage won't matter if we never lose again.

    We clearly put the cue in the rack at the end of the game, and if you don't believe that, Ed Langdon was on the bench at the end of the game.

    Defensive side of our game was brilliant tonight. Work out the forward entry's and some poor side is going in the history books.

    Feels weird to feel unsatisfied when 4-0. We just know we can play so much better than we’ve shown this far this year. Doesn’t matter as long as we click into gear later in the year when it matters.

    Carn the Dees!!

    We did what we needed to do - nothing flash but an absolutely strangling defence.

    Need to spruce up our inside 50 delivery considerably ...... most were random and ugly. Felt sorry for weed and Fritter - even BBBBB would have struggled.

    • 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?
