    Look even more average!

    Yep, correct !!

    Team of average skilled fumbling footballers.

    Cant question effort, but need polish 

    We need to offer Burgess kids jobs and a house to move to Vic and get him back.

    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

    Do we have another gear?

    It's not a motoring show...

     


    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.

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

    We all honestly know we are a bottom 8 team.

    We all wish we were a ruthless, team oriented smart team.

    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.

    • 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?
