Take a bow Simon Goodwin. Pandering to Luke  Jackson by playing him as first ruck. He is not a first ruck and Max is not  a forward. Cost us 3 easy goals tonight and the game.

    Cheating [censored] [censored] in yellow absolutely garbage.

    Multiple gifts from free kicks in Collingwood I50 from ridiculous calls.

    All over the ground just inconsistent decisions.

    [censored] that [censored].

    They definitely got all the 50/50 calls in the last but it's the FORWARD LINE folks.

    Is Joel Smith the saviour?

    Furious, absolutely furious with that loss. We have too much class to be kicking and handballing like that. 

    Atrocious games from Kozzie, ANB, Spargo, Hibberd, and Jackson. Kozzie in particular fumbled, ran over the ball, flew when he should have stayed down and played an all round shocker. 

    The old Dees habit of handballing under pressure to a team mate who is under more pressure. That one from Hibberd to Viney in the Pies forward line - unforgiveable. It happened all night.

    We canNOT keep kicking our forward 50 entries into the pocket. EVERY time, even when we have short options. 

    My rage hasn't settled yet. Really grumpy right now.

    One trick pony got the job done.

    We knew exactly what they’d try to do and we let them do it. We’re a defensive team who can’t win a shootout, yet we let the game unfold that way anyway.

    This was a supremely disappointing effort from the coaching group. They’ve got work to do now as top two is likely gone. 

    [censored] what a let down.

    Petracca picks and chooses when he wants to show up, 2nd worse game I've seen him play behind the Freo loss. Gawn terrible, ANB an absolute momentum killer, Koz anonymous, the entire back seven were terrible tonight. Definitely not going back to back this year.

    Three goals in a half of footy isn't going to win you much.

    If we could fix our forward half game we’d be unstoppable!

    Just so much wasted effort for such a poor return.

    Don't blame the umpires.  We didn't take our chances and they did and we were outplayed.  

    Losing to this mob is always the bitterest pill to swallow.  Goodnight all.

    Shame on coaches.  They can’t and have not learnt after weeks of seeing pies how to close them down.  Our mob can’t kick straight to save themselves.

    A fit Joel Smith would have been very handy over Hibberd tonight. And I suspect he's (Smith) moving on at year's end. That's a gap to fill.

    That was the most painful loss I can remember in a long time.

    If Max kicks straight we win and he's probably BOG

    Should have been six in front at half time

    Hard for Demons to get a free second half

    Pies probably got 6 or 7 goals from frees

    the last to Johnson unbelievably soft

    Kozzy, why did you have to kill the momentum?

    What happened to our mid field in the 2nd half?

    We are missing Tom Mac. Equally, it's the way that the ball is coming in.

    Watching Ben Brown, it was nice to reminisce and think of Iron Hands Dawes.

    We have so many problems going forward at the moment. We really should give JVR a go. We're not going to win a flag at the moment unless we change our forward structure and our crappy F50 kick into the pocket entries.

    It was the Dogs game all over again.

    I chucked money on the pies at half time at $5.40. it feels very ordinary collecting.

    Would love to know where our contest and defence were tonight, coz they weren’t at the G.

    Meanwhile Goody is on the bench wondering why our broken system isn’t working. Do something about it.

    • 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?
