    Fix the defensive game in the middle and tighten up down back and we got this. 

    A few very soft frees their way. We do need to play some tempo this quarter.


    Left some on the table.. win the midfield and the territory battle and we will coast it in.

    This is a cracking game

    BT summed it "Explosive quarter"

    Such kickable misses. Tighten defence up and roll these parolees.

    Some big concerns. The game is on their terms, they are scoring, they have belief. Make so mistake if we don't find some kind of control or forward 50 territory they will fancy themselves a chance

    I hope that Maxy miss isn't one that catches up to us...

    Need to settle it down in the back half, don’t want a shootout like we did with the dogs

    What a quarter. The only real negatives are that we gave up 5 goals (one to that spud Cox), and Maxy's miss. Wish Salem sunk that as well. 

    But still, that was intense. Don't think they can sustain that for 4 quarters which is good because I don't think my heart can handle 4 either!

    Seriously max needs to do something about his kicking. As an experienced senior player & captain you should not miss from that distance in front

    And a 10 out of 10 for entertainment value

    Entertainment ia great don't get me wrong, we need control and tempo though. I'd prefer 6.5 entertainment and 10 out of 10 performance.

    Who gives a stuff about entertainment if u lose?? Couldnt give a fat rats clacker about entertainment

    Not much use slowing it down unless we can get a decent break.

    They have proven on multiple occasions how easily they pierce our defence

    We need a ten goal to two quarter... which we can do

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
