Viney is being well shackled. Badly need Oliver back in this team to drive the team forward

    Thank goodness they can't kick straight 

    They would be ahead if they kicked straight.

    Momentum swings so much. Need to be more consistent.

     

    I tell you what watching live is far less stressful than TV.
     

    We look far more superior in structure but have been a bit clumsy with disposal and i50 entry. Nothing that cannot be tidied up.

    Lucky to be in front at halftime. BBB's AFL career must be very close to the end on that showing.

    Both Brown and TMac are at the end. Both contracted for next year. Expect both to finish up then or retire early. Their bodies are shot sadly. Both great servants of the club and will be fondly remembered premiership players once they hang up the boots.

    At the game, and the lack of (defensive) pressure in the forward 50 is staggering! Ugly signs, and we’re going to get run over if we don’t improve our contest and pressure, Jack Viney excused, and assuming Crows have the legs. Can’t exit defensive with any conviction, can’t keep it in our own. Awful football, except for that bright 10 minutes.

    I hate jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to our KPF’s, but BBB is not providing a contest.

    I don't know why they persist with BBB

    He's been lacklustre. No doubt about it. I think Petty is a better option. But it won't happen. 

    I think Bbb gets another half a quarter before Smith is subbed .

    Good to see Chandler back in the goal scoring.

    We need to biry this side in the third. Are we seriously competing for a cup this year. No more just scraping in fgs.

    I think Max is tired from last week. Nice goal in the first but only three touches since. Lever not doing much. Anb needs to lift again.

    Milk is continuing his good form thank goodness 

    This game is poised at even money right now

    Yep, coming out way too quickly/easily.

    Whats so hard to have our talls bring it to ground with our smalls locking it up?

    Keep M Crouch and rankine quiet in the second half and we win comfortably

    All about starving supply, but they’re attacking much more than us, just have wasted shots.

    Has definitely been the case today: reckon he’s been better in the previous few weeks

    M crouch hadnt been able to get an AFL game, we should be able to quell his influence but I agree keeping rankine quiet is a challenge

    Maybe it is time for Petty to play forward and make Tommo a permanent fixture down back. I thought BBB was turning the corner a bit last week but he's off the boil today.

    Adelaide desperately need the 4 points to stay in the finals race. They're not going to go down easily

    Hopefully Goody straightens us back up at the break.

    Gawn has only 4 disposals to. Our midfield haps to do better to.

    Trac very off today

    Grundy>BB

    Yep, I think we have to have a tall beside JVR to give him that help. If not BB it probably has to be Grundy

    Minding their pacy forward is proving to be testing and the hit up mark on the wing hasn’t been there. Need the forwards to rotate up to be that option. Brown, trac, melk and JVR.  Adelaide doing lots of block/grapple work to keep them quiet. Umps will chirp in if our forward go the ball in air (as they have a couple times already)

      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?
