Really interesting watching this. Hard to tell how we are doing because the Saints are seriously struggling. Ross Lyon has a huge task ahead.

Our general game play, positional strengths and all-ground defence is looking good. Hitting targets across the ground looking good. Our choosing and hitting targets who are 25 - 40 metres out continues to be a work in progress. A bit disappointing.

Chandler, Hunter and McVee very, very  impressive. 

Grundy looking rusty. I am really wanting to see JVR, but TMac and Brown doing everything right.

    Kicking skills.  Will be our most exploited weakness yet again in 2023.

    May has 3 weeks to stop [censored] himself under high kicks. That was awful.

    Pickett’s ball use has been poor. I get he’s keen to impress but he has to take better options and not try to reinvent the wheel

    Lack of two way running now is costing us. I am giving them a break because it’s 900 degrees.

    A few real howlers in the past 3 mins going into half forward from people like Kozzie, Chandler and others.

    If you aren’t seeing May drop his head and spill marks when going back with the flight way too often then you aren’t watching close enough 

     

    Good to see we changed up our forward entries, we go to left pocket....oh wait

    Ground announcing saying 5Q’s to go. That would mean a full game for the Casey lads

    The old 'let's stop playing after we're comfortably ahead' never fails to disappoint! 

    Love how Richo said during the week that this was something the boys had been working on to fix over summer. 

    Let's see it then ey.

    I’ve been sitting comfortably in the shade and I’m finished. 

    If the Saints want to wake up and bust a gut now in this heat them all power to them.

    In any other conditions I’d agree but it’s [censored] hot.

    Saints definitely had the scoring end and we had Oliver at half back, plus a few ordinary turnovers. It’s not all effort

    The commentators keep saying it's 8 periods today, but all the early official info was only 6.  Anyone know whats actually going on?

    Petracca with a set shot early in the 4th. And he....  nails it.   73-38

     

    Kick to hot spot where there was lots of numbers.  ANB had kept his width though.  Ball got out to him who went back to Gus who had drifted forward who dropped it into Trac about 35 out.

    • 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?
