Just there is a lot of wrist slashing here as usual. Completely dominated the half, but failed to execute on the scoreboard. That’s the end of the story. Listening to BT and Jones, who doesn’t want to appear biased, barracking for GWS is worse than the goal kicking 

Failed to execute on the scoreboard = loss = bad

Kozzy is a ghost on the field. Always watching the players carrying the ball, never going after them. Wants the easy ball.

It's driving me nuts. Used to be hard at it but last month or so been soft

At this stage I am going to have fluffy pups after watching this. We should be at least a minimum of 4 goals in front.

He’s too lazy a player at the moment when it comes to reading and reacting to the play. How many times that half was he in the wrong position?

Get the ball to 20m out with BB bringing it to ground, then have the smalls crumb it, ffs. It isn’t that hard.

How is our forward connection?

Our delivery into our forward 50 has been laser like in its precision, the only problem is it’s nearly always to a Giant standing on his own. It’s doing my head in. Our field kicking has been abysmal, even taking into account the wet conditions. Goal kicking worse.

Bad kicking is bad footy, very simple

I posted that we have become the worst kicks for goal in the AFL, excepting one bad night by the Swans.

As long as you identify as one you don’t need wheels.

My kingdom for a player who identifies as a goal kicking forward.

Hasn't been the same since his suspension, lost confidence to go in hard

My bad, don't support local business people it's the devil. Especially in the red centre.

So much of what we do is so good. Really good.

And then we kick forward and lose all vision, all strategy, and basic skills. 

Our game plan, rotations, Gawn and Grundy, attack on the ball, tackling etc... all seem to work well, and our back half defence really is a wonderful thing to behold. So I just don't get our dreadful forward skills.

FMD I can’t keep watching this. It’s actually just a joke. 

I know how you feel. But for mine it’s Demonland that’s unbearable. I’d forgotten how pathetic some of the “fans” are on here.  I only came on here to share what I hear about Fritta but it’s not possible without seeing some of these posts that are just too much. Further compounded by hearing my peeps doing their best behind the goals, fully supporting our boys regardless of the score.

Anyways medicos just had another meeting. They can’t manage his pain. They’re gonna do a pain block infusion. Apparently it’s a common procedure.

Didn’t like Grundy stopping and appealing for a free when the ball was right there

My pet hate...contested ball...turns to umpire to plead for a free


binman - is this all loading?

Free kick count 14-1 in our favor. We’ve brought the paper bags this week!

Expect that to get evened up in the second half and cost us the game.

He's waiting to come back after we finish them off with a 15 goal to 2 goal second half.

I used to shout out every week that this is the one he'll kick a bag. I've stopped.

Been more than a month. Since he came back from suspension I'd say 

Didn't he tear it up last AS game?

Shell of his old self.

 

Chandler the same too.

Just hope Frittas ok and we stop selling this game.

  • 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?
