Can we seriously buy a free kick??

Only in the back 50. Nowhere else.

 

Really got mozzed with the injury list talk this week.

 

First rule of Fight Club: Don't talk about the injury list

    We clearly got ahead of ourselves before tonight. Both fans and players. I can take losing tonight at this stage, at this stage all I want is that Max isn’t gone for the season. Please please don’t be an worst case scenario 

    Really?  How about outplayed, as well as maybe being shellshocked at losing our best player early in the game?

    Oliver and Petracca on the bench together, they have both been average but that is odd to have them off at the same time.

    Petty having a shocker

    With a lot of company I'm afraid.

    Sloppy, losing clearances big time.  Half the boys up forward have barely touched the pill.

    The worry for me is the structure, lack of big man impact.  Kicking down the line too often.  Not ogranised or clean in the middle (fumbles... not many first touch clearances) and some seriously dumb footy.

    The good...

    Sparrow, Lingers, Rick, Chandler, BBB (best of an ordinary bunch of forwards so far), Harmes (getting to the right spots but disposal too often smothered or goes nowhere), McVee

    The Bad...

    Max going down with a bruised knee

    Grundy's ability to find a Lion

    Clarry kicking's

    Viney's kicking

    Tracc's kicking

    The ugly...

    Nibbler's game

    Tracc's game

    Gus's game

     

     


    Saprgo knows how to win a head high free kick

    Need to try anything other than the long bomb forward - just isn't working.

    Why can we do it at training but in a game it all goes out the wimdow??

     

    This game just looks like it’s gonna peter out without much else happening.

    Do something to change the state of the game. Come on Goody, come on anyone. Our inability to change mid course continues to be a problem.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
