Good comeback but it has to be said our fwd pressure has been non existent.

Hopefully we move past that and pile on some goals and get the points.

Why do we make it so hard for ourselves?

    We've gone from being great on small grounds and average at the MCG, to average on small grounds and great at the MCG. We seem to struggle assessing distance on small grounds.

    When you have your forward line hanging around the centre then you have problems on a few occasions players getting the ball around the wing but have to try and buy time because your forward line has been sucked up the ground then nothing will work, they fixed it up a bit in the back half of the quarter.

    It still bewilders me that Hibberd is onthe bench as a sub when he is one of our best defenders. Plus he’s coming off 31 possessions last week at Casey. We need his foot skills desperately.

    I have to have faith in the match committee, but he would have got the gig in front of Smith for mine.

    I remember that game in 2016. Old fashioned shoot out. Great battle between Goldy and Gawny. 2 champions it has to be said.

    Lucky we’ve been accurate. I’ll take being 4pts down. Hopefully that end isn’t the scoring end and we are chasing down a lead in the last.

    Harmes and Salem look like they are playing school boy football. They don’t look interested and just cruising.

    Seven goal quarter.

    Need two more of them and hold them them to a couple and get a 10 + goal win.

    Salem has looked a shell of himself for weeks.

    Anyone know if we swung changes to counter Ford?

    He was everywhere early on. Did we make a change or just lift our intensity?

    76% on ground .

    I’d say that’s low for him? I don’t know. 
    Didn’t see him much in the centre bounce 

    This was never going to be an easy game.

    They've still pushed some quality sides this year regardless of result.

    I would just be happy to take the win and no injuries.

    This game is not fixed yet, we really need to stamp our authority on this quarter.

    Little to no wind today, so should have zero impact

    Interesting no excuse then I guess 

    Is anyone having issues with Kayo pausing and buffering. I'm getting a clear 100 Mbps on my internet connection and have absolutely zero issues whatsoever streaming with any other service except for Kayo.

    • 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?
