Nup not accepting it

Fair enough - lets not let facts get in the way of an argument - that's the Demonland way 😁😁

    Bennett was wonderful, so were Jakovich, Shwartz, Green, and Jurrah. Neitz and Robbo were not bad either. But I will place 1) Garry Lyon 2)Bayley Fritsch and 3) Jack Watts over most when it comes to kicking. Watts was a beautiful kick for goal.

    They should be showing kids that video in school. The most uncomplicated kicking stance and beautiful art.

    And if you wanna talk stats then you never seen AJ over a 3 year career.  Crushes Liam. Loved Liam Loved Allen even more but if i was asking for a goal outside 50, or from any angle inside 50, i would say Brad was a chance during a 12 year Career and the closest I've seen to as good a kick as Matty Lloyd. Apologies if you feel I'm bickering. 

    Actually Jackovich's goal kicking accuracy (not including out on the full) was 54% while Jurrah's was 63%.

    It's a regret of mine that I never went to Windy Hill.

    As a youngster in the 70's, I stood in front of the grandstand and women who looked my mum would use language that even me and my mates would think too filthy and strong.  I went home dazed and confused. And I was there for the goal.

    Not to mention David Cordner and Weidemann last year.

    I have a Bombers work colleague who is mad that we fobbed Weid off on Essendon because his hands are as bad as I told him they were.

    Are you a masochist?  lol

    Worst ground for opp supporters in the VFL. Terrible out of the way place.  Worse even for dees supporters. We rarely won out there.

    • 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?
