Free against Gus was wrong. McKay kicked him in the leg. No tackle.

Betchya we don't get one of those gifts in front of goal

    Do you blokes bag the umps every week?

    we were 5-1 up on the frees at one point. Getting a good run

    Playing like this, it doesn't matter where we finish up next week, we'll just be making up numbers. We keep kicking to the wing, but we have hardly anyone who can actually take a mark or kick the goal when they do, and we have Max who doesn't know where the goals are anymore. I hope they have written "buy a good for forward" and a proper forward coach on the whiteboard. 

    The window for "we'll come good" is getting smaller by the second.

    Ugh, what a waste.

    Not sure how Goody can be happy with Max's forward work when he can't finish.

    More of the same that quarter unfortunately.

    No idea what they do at training, but it’s clearly not working on our forward connection. Just so predictable.

    This is going to script for all our losses. Plenty of inside 50s, a lot of effort for not much reward. I predict we'll get overrun in the 2nd half.

    P.S. we are in front 7-4 in free kicks.

    😬

    Surely we run over the top of a team who played interstate last week. 2 days after us

    Max turning his back to goal really irritates me. Fritsch was in space, not the easiest kick to him but he never even saw it.

    There’s no need to pinpoint everything. This might sound counterintuitive but observe what Collingwood did last week. Gain territory and have a bit of confidence in the forwards to get into the right spot.

    Waiting till things get clogged up again will stuff us.

    Frees:  Melbourne 7  Carlton 4.  But let's blame the umps, hey?

    Agreed. The umpiring has been fine. 


    Defence and pressure solid. Good start

    need to inject some flair now


     

    I've said it b4 and will keep doing it

     

     

    Make Kozzie our goal kicking coach.

     

    He can't miss.

    I think we will win this easy. When we've been losing we've been letting oppos score heavily early. We've tightened up defensively all over and will grind them into the ground throughout the game.

     

     

     

     

    Hopefully...

    • 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?
