About as many times as he has got them right.

Nah. Not even close. Tom McDonald’s great but that’s his glaring weakness. He over rates his kicking ability.

    100+ win or extra training session as punishment 😜

    Nibbler and Koz started very well. Need to be smart going forward. Barrass and McGovern are both very smart players.

    Great start from the boys. Can’t afford to drop the intensity. 
     

    Midfield switched on today. Still need to clean up a bit on F50 connection, but the pressure has been outstanding in fwd half.

    Perfect game to work on lowering the eyes. Midfielders getting goal side a bit more than they might normally. The eagles are as bad as we were at our worst. It’s bringing back bad memories of them doing  the same to us years ago at the g one [censored] afternoon

    Trac looks intense - trying to make sure the boys play Dees footy for four quarters

    Underwood is the female equivalent of BT


    Just punch it through Dogga. Steven May giving him what-for about that.

    EDIT - or just let it go through! 
    And he's learned and is now running away from the defensive 50 like Cale Morton runs away from Brendon Lade.

    Petracca's blind kick into the 50 isn't good enough there.

    Fritsch should have kicked to Kossie's advantage.

    • 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?
