Expected score at half time 33 - 27 our way.

Inaccuracy letting us down again.

Other stats supporting that we have a small edge in a close game, leading tackles, takes inside 50, marks inside 50, contested marks, clearances, and contested possessions.

Collingwood with more disposals - 20 more handballs. 

 

There is a tactical battle with structures, Collingwood trying to get an overlap on the outside, which they then seem to use to cut inboard while we work to man back up. When they get it, they have scored. When we've denied it they have struggled to move the ball threateningly.

Scoring a couple of goals from stoppages early was a real boon for them.

Evenly poised, and it might come down to individual brilliance or team fitness.

    Ok this half we'll kick straight.

    Petracca, smith, Spargo and van Rooyen need to do something.

    3 goals in a half is not great 

    3 Goals and a zillion pionts is shizzen footy

    Lucky to score what game are you watching.

    The one where we have kicked 3 goals in a half, and packed our daks when a score is possible. If that doesn’t change, we’re done. Simples. 


    Have a look at this tweet, we all get excited about the footy but imagine wishing death upon someone fighting a terminal disease

    Should we have bought in Melksham as another scoring option because Spargo and Chandler aren't offering much

    Kozzie needs to stay down and be at the fall of the ball.

    You know………….be a small forward

    Serious rocket.... that shouldve happened after the first attempt.

    Max & Fritta need to have a word or Goodwin.

    How this hasn't been rubbed out of his game after 12 rounds is astounding and a real blight on the forward line coach.

    My strong advice is to give up Twitter - it’s a sewer. And, who are these people and who cares?

    Smith is not a forward. But I guess the cupboard is bare unfortunately. So much on young Jvrs shoulders and he's having a quiet one. I'd try and leave Grundy there for the rest of duration. 


    Maynard is a houso thug.

    • 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?
