It's what happens on the day that counts. You can talk up a team as much as you like.

We can't win a flag with our fwd line. Tmac is cooked. Bbb is injured a lot and Jvr is just starting. We are missing a big proven quality Chf. 

 

Too many of our boys  at the ball drop ... clear out of the leading lanes and let the forwards jump at it.


I have no idea what is going on with our structure right now.

JVR popping up at full back?

Is Grundy injured?

 

How many times have we kicked it to a pack of 1 of us, 3 of them in our F50 and they STILL win the ball at ground?

    They are working much harder

    Players jogging off as we attack forward. Ridiculous 

    Disgraceful performance. Grundy is being smashed, the defence is being torn apart. May, Petty and Thommo are all having shockers

    Oliver is unsighted, Sparrow - is he even playing? - 

    TMac was straight up kneed in the back by Draper in a ruck contest - play on. He should be rubbed out.

    This is truly a pathetic display

     


    5 uncontested marks to go from end to end, this is 2019 esque. 


    Game over

    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    There is something in this.

    But we've also been outworked right from the get go

     

    Switching off. Horrid. 10 goal loss written all over it.

    • 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?
