Harmes can leave for anybody.   That kick that he tried to intercept that was meant for van rooyen cost us the game

TBH, it wouldn’t have been a 15m kick or anything like

    On another note, good to see Jackson trying again. Hadn’t seen that for a while.

    We have turned into the most selfish bunch of individuals around.
     

    No connection between our lines, bugger all communication, linking of plays is non-existent, bomb it to a pack of forwards with no crumbers around because they’re all too high up the ground, and practically no blocking checking defensive work. Nobody is even taking the first option anymore, it’s dump kicks in and out of the 50 almost every time. 
     

    Everybody is playing for theirselves, with very very few exclusions.  
     

    Yes, we are getting some complete rubbish handed at us by the umpires - but stop ranting and sooking at them, Dees - focus on winning the next bloody contest!  If you kick a goal - stop running over to the boundary line and fist pumping at the supporters and just expecting our fellow Dees to run over and celebrate with you - high five each other and the bloke who got the ball to you in the first place! 

    FMD what happened to our team football

    Surely Goodwin has to play Brown next week. The forward line is pathetic.

    Absolutely, tmac is done and jvr not ready too carry a forward line. We need forwards who lead up to the ball carrier not away from them

    I feel stunned. To look at our team on paper we look so good. Somethings wrong and i think it has to be on the coaches heads.

    Disappointing effort we really need to fix our stoppages somehow…Goody so obsessed with the turnover game we don’t play any other way

    First thing I did after the siren was to go to the Casey thread.  Sadly, no joy there either!  

    watched most of the Casey game

    Flashes from the usual suspects but no one starred.

    It came to an abrupt end in the middle of 2022.

    I’d suggest our ceiling is 5th/6th, a home MCG final, and a semi final exit.

    Collingwood would’ve found a way to win the last two weeks if in our position.

    After today I have a new respect for a large number of our supporters who know more than us on Demonland. They didn't turn up because they knew what was coming. The fade to  mediocrity is under way.

    it was pretty lonely here. Agree

    It's okay, we'll be fighting fit in September. 

    Not sure if we'll be in the finals, though.

    Why would he change anything now if he didn't last week?

    Absolutely [censored] performance. Our window is looking closed. Thank god for 2021. This club is a long way off from ever competing for a flag again. 

  • Quote

    Weak as water, players, coaching staff & supporters that don’t show up

    Imagine letting that mob beat us again at the G

    Disgraceful

    Top top it off the Freo chant at the end of the game showed up our clap clap go Dees, hooray supporters

    Q 1 the forwards actually spread and it worked. But thereafter back to the old all up together.  
    How difficult is it really for a professional team and coaching staff to try to get that right?

    Grateful for Goody coaching us to the 2021 flag, but he’s got to go.

    We’ve become way too easy to coach against, and have no plan B. Gotta clean out the assistants too.

    What about the players taking some responsibility.

    Scrap Narrm before it ruins our season .  Is there two more weeks of  this useless distraction leading up to Pies boilover?

    And scrap that ridiculous thread about Freo and draft picks. Never liked it. Look how thats come back to bite us on the bum.

    So last week the rainbow chasers thought we were good because we only lost by 4 to a good side. What have you got to say this week?

    They’ll say we lost because Oliver didn’t play, after they said we are not a one man team.

    And when we do turn it over we butcher our golden chances for scoring.

    • 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?
