Fourth quarter was so much better with the volume muted. Viney and Gawn the difference. Bowey and Sparrow had good games.

    Disgusting commentary by Dunstall, barracking for the Suns and calling umps decisions that weren’t even there.

    He made Bristle Taylor sound competent

    We don't win well, and we don't win easily, but we find a way. 

    Some massive deficiencies to be sorted out in our midfield. Some other deficiencies to be worked out in our F50. 

    In the last 5 minutes Rivers, Viney and Brayshaw were immense.

    Levi the difference, far out.

    Suns probably deserved too! Our maturity shone where there's didn't. 

    And we definitely had more favourable umpiring decisions in total.

    Happy to get the four points, but this type of game won’t win us finals.

    Collingwood and Geelong will bend us over like Mr Big in prison.

    We’ll make the 8 no worries but that’s about it.

    Backline aren’t playing like 21, May out of form, still don’t know what we’re doing with out forward line.

    0 stars. We were absolutely putrid. No winners.

    Defense so so so much better when Petty was down there. 
     

    The combination of Turner in and Petty forward totally ruined the balance of the team.

    When Goodwin tries to get cute bad things tend to happen.

    And breathe.....

    Jesus. that was exhausting to watch. 

    Fair play to GC. We were a little bit off tonight but a couple of times a year they pull a game like this out of the box. Killed us at the contest and clearance for a lot of the night and got the ball forward quickly before we could set up. I honestly thought we were destined to cough this one up after Fritta missed a sitter and they went down the other end and scored. 

     Onwards and upwards.

    Bank the 4 points and look to next week. I'd love to say we won't play so poorly again, but we will given  that it's already happened a few times this season.

    We've all seen that movie a billion times over the years but thankfully McPherson didn't put the dagger in. Actually, even then it was set up for an after the siren free kick and goal. Glad that the footy gods are finally going easy on us. To be fair, the Suns probably deserved to win it.

    We won the flag in 2021 on the back of our defense. Not sure that's going to be the case this year. I'm certainly not writing a champion like May off after a couple of poor games, but he's 31, it's almost a bonus if he doesn't start to gradually decline from here. Lever hasn't recaptured his AA form and I think we need Petty to stay back. We seem to be conceding much higher scores this season but thankfully scoring more ourselves. 

    Like seriously, how is Malcolm Rosas putting 4 on us?

    Agree, and they hung Turner out to dry , leaving him one out on casbolt the majority of the game. So undersized compared to him. Jvr needs brown back in. We need Petty back the moves are obvious hopefully see it next week.

    Two times we had 15seconds left in a quarter and gave them a look from a kick out. One of them they kicked a goal.

    Surely we can communicate how much time is left, find one short spot up kick and that ices 10 seconds and games over with a long kick down the boundary.

    FMD we need to find a key forward who can take the game by the scruff and impose himself. This is far from a premiership team atm

    It's a big concern, isn't it? The side doesn't look settled across any line, least of all the forward line.

    I hope Bbb can come back. Petty just doesn't really do and Jvr struggled.

    96 marks to our 66. 

    But our tackling was much better than theirs.

    Turner needs to stay in the reserves until he is physically ready. Petty needs to stay in the backline for the remainder of the year and our forward connection and centre work needs a complete overhaul.

    Not bad for a team currently on top of the ladder hey. FMD.

    No, but it will get us there. Was always going to be a tough game, and I will take any win from that. Again, we almost kicked 100 points, so even though the forward line needs work, we are still scoring. We will get better as the year goes on. No point playing your best footy now. As Goody always says, the season is a marathon, no point going too hard early

    • 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?
