Fortunate to be only 8 points down,  very fortunate

Not really with the 3 sitters we missed in the first. Sib out Harmes for Smith at halftime

    4 free kicks to 2 in a half of footy umps have put the whistle away.  
     

    This game will be won by who can maintain the rage for longer

    Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

    Yeah, fair enough. I’m just thinking how odd these matches would seem in hindsight, should it go south. I can’t recall another example of an AFL player taking the field under such circumstances, but maybe it’s not unique.

    Our tackling weak and ineffective.

    Set shot Goal kicking back to our worst.

    Tigers very hard at the ball and man.

    Still bombing forward instead of putting the ball in front of the player.

    2 frees in a half and umps ignoring our forwards being held on every entry.

    Our fumbling is superb.

    Still a bit unclear on why Marlion Pickett is allowed to play matches right now. Will be very strange if he’s found guilty. 

    Irrelevant comment.And he’s innocent

    Is it just me, or does May look like he's treading water out there? Looks injured and very slow.

    If it went south he might be in jail.

    Anything up to ten unpaid free kicks to the half.

    He was like that last week....


    Oooof what a mess.

    61pts against us, so far, in a half. Our backline is a mess and has been for a while. What happened to our fortress?

    Typical for us to serve this [censored] after port and the lions open up an avenue to second place. 

    And what the hell was that from Gus??

    Kozzie back in the middle, just get Harmes to tag somebody, best use we can get from him, and EVERYBODY PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT and stop giving them cheap goals.

    I could've sworn it was only half time?

    He has never been that quick and he's not getting any younger.

    Honestly our kicking has been woeful at times 

    Surely not?

    Not just you, looks to be injured or had lost more than a yard of pace and slow to react


    Tigers with thirty more possessions. Need some more players to stand up like Trac and Viney. They can't do it all. That means you Jordan, Gus and Hunter 

    We may be a goal behind but we are being well outplayed.

    Tigers playing Bazball while we look like Australia. 

    Why does Goody to take so long to activate the sub?

    Do we have anyone else in reserve to replace Woey?He's had a good run but he's not doing much anymore.

    Hopefully Chandler and Kozzie get involved in the game.

    Not just you 

    old slow and rubbish below knees

     

    Our bottom six, Harmes, Chandler, Woey, Jordon, etc. really are ordinary.

    Can’t help but think Hibbo would have been able to steady our defence when under pressure. Must play next week.

    • 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?
