It seems an absolute eternity since bang bang bang.  
Come on Dees - make a statement.  
PS buy a strong marking forward, somehow, over the trade period.  It is THE difference between garbage and success. BBB is stuffed.

    He’s having a great game but he’s missed three sitters still which might be costly. Were they not sitters? We must be watching different games 

    I'd hardly call all 3 of them sitters. 1 of the 3 perhaps. 2 at a massive stretch of the definition of a sitter.

    We just need to limp across the line. This has been really, really hard. Blues are up and about as they should be, finals at stake, Paddy wants to be there. If we do not bring it this quarter we can forget about anything in September.

    I am dead serious, another game we have led at every change. If we drop this then we clearly have a mental issue at play. We need to get over the line, the world of good that will do mentally.

    You can see it coming a mile away. We will get overrun. 


    Well just as I bag Tracc he shows some good form.

    Always the way.

    Hope he keeps it up.

     

    Forward line ... not quite happening, chemistry just not there. Playing as a group of (talented) individuals rather than a team. Odd, as they've had plenty of time together.

    Missing Tom Macdonald to help get the system working again?

    Can we try Petty up fwd?

    With Disco in  defence. 
    Ir debut JVR next week.  Anything else is worth a try. 
    This is not working. 
    Just cannot have Melksham and Frittata as our only forwards.

    I can see Spargs or ANB getting the bullet for someone, may as well be another borderline player with no awareness or game sense 

    Try up forward was the suggestion, not many other options and the current set up is going nowhere

    Start bagging some more of the blokes please! 😂

    I’d like to win, for a lot of reasons, but mostly so I can stick it up the whiners sitting around me.

    Sparrow was dead set all by himself on the 50 in the corridor. FMD this kick in play is just infuriating. If you can my hit that kick with no pressure, what the f are you playing afl for. 

    Correct.

    And our last F50 entry we turned over as usual, we had a guy on his own screaming for it 30 out and ignored.

    We must reverse this narrative CYB. No other option.

    Where was Langdon most of that quarter?

    Not really the same since his injury I feel.

    Just a limping shadow of last year. Carlton without Kennedy, Cerra and Hewett should mean this game goes one way. And yet they’re making us look slow, uncertain, fumbly and secondary at contests. Their plan for this quarter will be pressure, turnover, forward at speed. Ours will be the predictable usual, allowing them to set up that manic contest again. Like last week, we won’t get  it done that way.

    Sensing (hoping) a big last quarter from Fritsch 🤞

    Well 3 touches for the night would indicate he is fresh

     

    I think we should bomb it into our forward 50 this quarter. See how we go

      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?
