Losers blame umpires 

People who think they’re above others refuse to consider the fact that they effect games. Umpires clearly effect games and momentum and the last two quarters have been shocking.

    Why? He’s been patchy for 2 years now, needs the message sent 

    Lol spare me. He kicked 55 goals last year in a forwardline that functioned poorly.

    Oliver’s decision making is just bizarre. He had Tracc running free. Goes backward to Hunter under pressure?

    Is now becoming a clanger king.

    sub hunter off for gods sake!

    Move him forward, put Kozzie in the middle, tell Petty not to leave the defensive 50, and win a few clearances ffs

    For experienced players the lack of brains and calm from May and Lever is embarrassing. For the love of god start winning some stoppages and just in case you lose maybe have someone defending the back, Time for Petty back, Turner off for Harmes and the resting ruck to play more forward and Fritsch to show some effort. Don’t do that and this is an L.

    When will they kick out to the right just once for the F..k of it. Same kick out rubbish week in week out. Having FOUR extra jumpers don't help but they ain't got red on them.

    So it’s just the umpires?

    He’s going to miss kicks at times but when he has days like this with his hands it’s a killer. Honestly think he plays scared of contact when he has the ball at times which is crazy given how brave he is when winning it, drive forward, give a clean handball, wear a hit.

    Said this to mates early in the second qtr. petty to the backline, turned off and Harmes on. Petty is a not good enough forward, Turner is not good enough and Harmes will at least offer run and effort.

    This midfield performance is inexcusable. We have a full team. Get Grundy into the ruck. Petty back. Sub Turner off and Harmes into the midfield to stop Rowell from touching it.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
