So many people question Voss's coaching, but the game plan looks quite good. It is the blues players! They are doing well in the air, at stoppages, around the ground etc... they just can't kick. Their kicking inside forward 50 is so bog ordinary, and the targets they miss when unpressured must totally burn the coaches. 

If Rowbottam, Warner and others would take first option instead of trying to break every tackle or run through 3 players, the Swans would have a lot more F50 entries. Must be annoying for their forwards.

And both Swans & Blues are not good tacklers. So many get broken. 

Could be a great game, and it is not too bad, but unpressured skill level  is ruining it.

    Have some beef too to round out the ‘3 B’s’

    This shouldn’t be confused with Bug Ben Brown.

    I’m struggling to watch other games at the moment. The AFL is doing my head in. Sounds like this game is trash and I’m not missing out on much.

    Said this a couple of weeks ago, games just a mess. I’m struggling even getting into our matches.

    I'm not sure if it's strictly on topic, but those women in Boney M were really hot.

    Not strictly on-topic, Bingers. But very close.

    When was the last time Parker played a game without a bandaged head?

    I gave up, it's a pile of garbage.

    Surely Franklin must retire at the end of the season? A shadow of his former self.

    Other than his kicking Curnow (Charlie) is playing really well.

    What's up with Walsh? 

    Warner tries to take on the tackler too often. 

    Excuse my ramblings.

    They’re way more interesting than this match. 
    🥱

    I flicked over to check the NRL score and even checked the fox cricket channel to see if there was anything on.

    So how are Norf going to muck it up this week?

    Given their arithmetic is pretty dodgy, I'm backing they'll have 19 on the field at some point.

    Watched the last ever episode of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel instead. 10/10. A must watch and way better for your soul.

    A lot of football for no effect. Half back lines are dominating the game. The stats show Carlton kicking at 75% efficiency. Absolute rubbish. Their field kicking is a mess, and the Swans not much better.

    Cerrra a chance to get suspended with that sling tackle on Hickey?

    • 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?
