Gotta say this is a garbage performance from our midfield. It's like we're letting them have a few bloopies.

 

Petty to the backline, Trac forward. He’ll why not throw May forward for a bit, see if he can get some confidence.

And for the love of god someone tell Fritsch to stop gelling his hair and get into the game.

    Bizarre Game. 
     

    Fritsch, Langdon and Lever are nowhere to be seen. 

    If they can enter the match we should do some damage. If they can’t, this is going to the wire.

    I certainly can see why we tried to get Essendons pick to get Humphrey. Guy is going to be weapon.

    May is done.

    70 to 45 contested possessions.

    Gold Coast just working way harder.

    That is very worrying. GC just hungrier and they’ll continue to work hard given they have a sniff. Really need to lift.

    Pathetic umpiring. Recall the bounce.

    Terrible bounce but Grundy can’t just go running past the ball and jumping in to Witts. That’s exceptionally stupid.

    The underrated reason to why the Pies got rid of him is because he’s really dumb for an experienced player. Has no concept of playing the percentages 

     

    From my position in the outer it looks like the suns are employing the collingwood tactic of having more players at the contest. No backline can defend that movement.

    They have grown in confidence since halfwsy through the 1st quarter.

    Grundy and May need to lift up.

    Is May still carrying some injury? He looks very sluggish in open space.

    Geee we look really off.

    When have we looked on? 
    we have been underperforming since round 11 last year and it’s starting to get frustrating

    Once again, the umpires are embarrassing the game. Shocking inconsistencies. 

    I hate them. I honestly do. It’s a deep seated I really want to burn their houses down kind of hate. 😳

    We are in front. 

    Go Dees.

    Bruise free football, midfield not putting enough pressure on the suns. Same as last few games

    Our much vaunted backline not doing much vaunting. May carrying something? Need Petty back there, Turner being rag-dolled by Casboult.

    Slender lead, poor half.

    We look unfocused, giving them too much room. They’re taking marks at will in our backline. May has been horrid. Please put Petty back.

     I’m loathe to say this already but the reality is that we’re not there yet, not even close. Like last year our wins have come against low ranking teams or ones who have not yet found their stride.

    Our wins are v 10, 11, 14, 16 and 18. Losses against top 8 teams.

    We need to make big improvements. If we sneak a win out of this I’ll be very happy but we need to address stuff like what the hell happened to our backline, where is May? Why do we disappear so often? 

    Needless to say we need a big statement setting second half.

    Not enough players working hard hard enough and hitting the contest with intent. Gold Coast first to the loose ball on so many occasions.

    Most of our players can lift so expecting a response.

      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?
