6  Oliver - prevented us from being overwhelmed

5  May - undaunted in a rough night for our defenders

4  Petracca - far from a complete game but was the driver when we actually got going

3  Fritsch - crucial to the forward movements

2  Rivers - showed sustained energy and initiative when few did

1  Hunter - just to annoy the haters, who make no sense (also, there's not a lot to choose from)

    6 - May (4qutr game)

    5 - Rivers

    4 - Tracc ( great 2nd half)

    3 - Clayton ( better once he got angry)

    2 - Fritta ( if he snuck that in we could have stolen that game)

    1 - Hunter kept going all night

    That was a terrible game tonight we fumbled, bumbled, mis tackled and failed to man up and still only went down by four points, should have been 4 goals.

    It's not that simple unfortunately. One or two mids can have good game and the whole midfield thrashed. Oliver, Viney and Petracca at least got us back in the third quarter. Supporting your argument May and Fritta were the only ones to really win their positions.

    Melb's problem is the depth of it's midfield compared to the good sides. Butters, Drew, Rozee, Boak, Horne Francis, Wines, etc are better than us. Collingwood has even better depth.

    May and Fritsch were the only ones to win their positions. That part is correct, as is the depth of Port compared to us in the middle of the ground. Petracca played a quarter, Oliver was just average most of the night.  They got belted by the Port mids.  They were both better than Viney and Brayshaw but worse than Butters, Rozee, JHF and Drew.  As I said elsewhere, the fact we got three goals in front and only lost by less than a kick was pretty miraculous given that we won two positions on the night. I'm quite optimistic about what might happen this season because I doubt we will be beaten that comprehensively across the ground again this year.

    Ridiculous.

    Hibbo did his job. Didn’t give away any frees. Battled and pressured. Sure handling.  It’s not all about 25+ possessions with turnovers and stupid little handballs.  Alongside Rivers and May, he was our best defender.  Maybe 4 was ambitious but if didn’t want to elevate our Mids who disappointed on the night.

    Honourable mentions;

    None far too many had leather aversion. 

    Adjudication;

    Some free kicks in the forward line would help but the ball needs to get and be there.

    From the Directors Chair;

    Who are you? Fuchsias, Demons … ? Nice to be good community citizens but winning games of football is core business if you want to be at the big end of town.

    I thought Salem's game was amazing considering the lay off he has had away from the game.

    Good call. Great to see him back

    • 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?
