How many soft frees to Sydney. 

Enough to get them the 4 points. Nothing surer.

 

Charlie Spargo should be dropped next week for that WEAK EFFORT

    Just typical of us to let them back into it. Had them on the ropes and now it’s a line ball game with all the momentum Sydney’s way.

    We're getting a bit loose, especially in the backline now

    Wondering if we'll throw Petty back to manage the height down back while the midfield battle is on their favour/balanced.

    Not sure I like Petty up forward. Feel like we are missing him up back especially with those goals to franklin and Logan. Can’t help but feel like he would have stopped at least one of those marks.

    An extra umpire just means 33% more bad decisions.

    100% this.  So three certain HTBs for us againt Brisvegas in the 1st quarter conveniently overlooked but about as many that were nowhere near it called straight away in that quarter alone which turned the game back their way.

    Pretty sure it was Lingers on the wing which was the worst of the lot and ended up in them scoring.

    Goody has had enough of the discussion on DL. Unless he snags a few contested marks or kicks a few snags in the second half, the debate is over.

    Umps slaughtering us

    Rubbish we have gone back to kick and mark, they struggle with quick ball movement, Sparrow is the new viney tries to take everyone one instead of first option it's just simple things that need cleaning up.

    Viney is a liability in the midfield.  Just coughs it up way too easily.

    A few more cleaner forward entries and quick reaction to the turnerover and we'll get the Swans.

    • 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?
