I’m at work so couldnt watch, but looking at the scores I’m guessing terrible is the word of the day.

    And people were bemoaning Port's win making top 2 a tough ask. We are so far off that level.

    Let's go listen to this week's excuses but the reality is that we have not been going well for quite a while

    The Italian National Team would be proud of that effort by GWS - a big ol' park the bus and get them on the rebound. I know it doesn't help us, but I HATE when teams do that. We lost that game, GWS didn't win it. Kick just a few of those opportunities we had and the game would have been over at 3/4 time given the rain.

    Fingers crossed we can kick a winning score.

    And ANB is a Brownlow medalist.

    Got what we deserved. So predictable in play and outcome. 

    Agree.

    Play skilless players and get what you deserve.

    Great coaching too, ever heard of a goal keeper in the wet, Kingsley has.

    And what did we do to overcome that tactic? Our game day coaching belongs on the G….at half time for the aus kickers 

     

    I know the conditions were slippery, but if that had been a match  between two struggling teams in the VFL, you would still have described Melbourne's forward line as pathetic. Brown past it, Smith below par, Melksham now just a journeyman, Langers and Hunter ineffective, Pickett charging about aimlessly, Harms a liability, Gawn-Grundy mix not working, and to cap off all the woeful goalkicking Viney missed a straight-forward set shot which would probably have sealed a win. Most of his teammates could have learned a lesson from nuggety little Bowey on how to play wet-weather football.

    Goodwin's attacking plan A: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

    Goodwin's attacking plan B: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

    Goodwin's attacking plan C: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

    If Fritsch is out for an extended period, we are seriously in danger of missing finals altogether.

    Let us pray Oliver is fit for next week.

    We have one of the most disfunctional fwd lines in the comp.

    I thought they'd clean it up by now.

    Its getting worse.  Forget the 4 now. Every side knows theyre a chance against us.  Finals are no guarantee now we' ve thrown 3 games.Need atleast 4 wins with that fwd line?

    No more f###g Alice Springs home games. Scrap it if you dont want to lose members.

      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?
