Why is it that the Pies small forwards always have so much space and Kossie has to work his way through a cast of thousands.

They kick to loose men and we bomb it in usually to the boundary.

Loved that chase by Hunt.  Was a mile off and they looked like they were going to waltz in and slam it through for a goal, but Hunt's chase and pressure they kicked to the square and it got rushed through or something.

Exactly the sort of act which will see him hold his place in the team.

That was an epic chase - was traveling 3 times faster than the ball carrier

    Moderately happy if still nervous but whats with our obsession with that pocket!?!!

    PS - I love BBB.

    Yes! Missing so many free players dead centre and straight in front and kicking to contests in a dead left hand pocket. Just weird

    Seeing pies in person shows me why they have won 10 in a row, such a hard running team, they might be getting smashed round the ball but you can’t deny they know when to get on the bike. If they outlast us we might get overrun

    Stop kicking to the pockets

    everyone stop flying for marks in the pockets ok?

    couple Of times - Jackson and brown - ignored streaming runners top of 50 right in front and elected to kick to pockets instead

     

    Fix cr-p decision making and we win this

    we need a KPF like McKay king etc who can rake marks and an epic CHF

    Spot on. Why the pockets?? It’s so easy to defend

    Because we always kick it to the same pocket.

    ....and then it goes over the back for an easy clearance. It's infuriating. I think the point is to lock it in there but it's not working.

    This is a very entertaining game but I would rather it not be so entertaining and us have more control over it even though we should be a lot further in front. 
    Oliver’s timing of hitting the ball at clearances looks strangely off, Max if he had kicked straight would be having some game really needs to sort his goal kicking out.

    Loved the unselfish handball from Fritta in the first!  Take a bow son.

    Time to shove that fork where it don't shine Demons!!

    The “they can’t sustain this “ narrative may prove to be way off …. They may well do exactly that ….. 


    Is it just me or is Jackson starting to find his form just at the right time of the year.....

    • 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?
