Just got to be steadier with the handballs

Great response Dees. Is Brown ok?

Tactical sub, should be alright 

Thanks god for the umpire there, Grundy was standing the mark almost two metres back and the umpire showed him he could come up closer which ultimately is why the Sydney players’ last kick fell short.

    Yeah I think it was just to go with a smaller forward line.

    They need to get the ball to ground in the forward line and not let the Mcartins mark

    I have covid and watching from home unfortunately..... so have to listen to BT and also scare everyone in my house

    Go boys, we have repsonded against a really good side.

     

    How much better is Grundy rucking today, difference mindset knowing you're going in as the no 1. ruck for the game. 

    Yep and I reckon Maxy has probably helped him out a bit this week & probably gave him the belief.

    My husband watching at home said it’s apparently a tactical sub? He seems ok. I assume his knee is a bit sore.

    He has a back injury. Apparently couldn't even bend down to touch his toes

    Unbelievable play by Clarry in that quarter with that handball smother. Best player we have ever had.

    Grundy really lifted that quarter.

    Great finishing by Fritta.

    Langdon really needs to goal from 20 out.

    Loving McVee. Looks a natural.

    This one is far from over, Swans are getting their looks wheb they transition from the back. Need to keep our composure and hit the targets when it counts.

    Grundy has been very impressive. Working his [censored] off.

    The game was over the moment we got out to a 30 point lead.

    Happens all the time.

    8.3 to 8.6 since quarter time - sounds disastrous!

    Did someone say drop from the Fritta? 

    Yeah he was a bit weak earlier, but how classy is he. 

    Look, I’m not saying that it was me… but yeah I made a bad call. 😂

    Or maybe I inspired him… 🤔 

    But seriously, his chasing or following opponent up the ground to keep pressure was poor when I wrote that. 

    what a great Quarter! such intensity

    4.1 up. what could go wrong from here?

    Bbb ...I'm not sure if he's injured.

     

    Was getting beaten pretty soundly in most 1 v 1s but could be an niggle or injury.  Anyone hear anything?

    Certainly lifted since half time

      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?
