Saints have a two player bench.
 

If we don’t win this game it is time for some serious discussions at the club. 

Stoker has been off injured for the last 15 minutes so they only have one on the bench

Poor choice by Trac, either have the shot or that’s gotta go 10 meters out.

Poor choice to kick it to Grundy?

i know what you mean

If we lose this it will be as a result of losing the 2nd ball to the Saints .

Very few crumbers at the drops,  shocking at loose ball gets and contested ball gets.

Can't maintain a chain beyond about 3 or 4 possessions

Still cant find targets inside and not enough forwards lead or time their leads at all towards the ball carrier.

Talls / mediums continue to sit back at the top of the square or just outside the goal line.

Where are the short shallow kicks (on occasions) to a leading forward around 40 to 50 meters out to at least maintain possession, have a shot at goal, eat up the clock and give our mids a rest and HBs more time to set up an effective wall??????????

The Saints were dominated for most of that quarter and we could still barely convert after so many entries.

Forward craft Pffft!   CRAPPOLA!

Might be time for Kossie to have a spell at Casey. He's been underwhelming for weeks

Time was about three weeks ago.

Our coach clearly is from South Australia, constantly behind the times.

That was due some time ago.

I am surprised you didn't notice.

Yep, correct !!

Team of average skilled fumbling footballers.

Cant question effort, but need polish 

I don’t think our effort has been as good as it was or could be.

Smith to come on - a couple goals in the last please….

disappointing performance, lack of running and chasing by a few players are keeping the saints in this. even though they are tired they are committed i wish i could say the same about all of our players.

Poor choice to play Grundy

I'd much rather have JVR down there.  Or Smith!

Grundy is not the answer.

Tap bros experiment should have been killed off three or four weeks ago.

Grundy sub (at best)

This is the dirtiest Umpire effort to make one side competitive i have ever seen.

It's just so one sided. We are not playing well, but they are just a dirty side, and a lot dirtier with Jones in it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
