Melksham, Petty and now Brayshaw out. A step too far.

And the MRO will be looking closely at JVR's careless (or stupid?) elbow.

    Unless we can disrupt them defensively by moving more quickly on transition and from half back, this ain’t happening. Hopefully Tracc can lift, and the Pies tire. They should, cos they’ve been fading in the last month, but our inside 50 game at the mo is simply awful. Making it so so easy to defend. Ugly stuff, but there’s time.

    What the hell is with the media trying to get Maynard off. He elected to jump and caused a player to go off concussed. How can it be any clearer.

    I'll burn something  down if he gets less than three weeks.

    Sparrow two touches.

    Trac 7.

    Tmac 2.

    I hate to say it but even Viney hasn't  been good.

    Lots of them want the easy footy, just stare at the contest. Why can't they follow Vineys exemplary body of work?

    Feel like we really dominated that quarter without gaining on the score board, looked a lot more Melbourne like. 
    One thing about this team is we can go harder for longer.

    Starting to win a few more contests but our method going inside 50 is deplorable. Only Bowey and rivers showing any poise. Would have loved to sneak a goal in the back end of that half but Collingwood backline too solid.

    Burn a cross with Maynard nailed onto it Deever

    We had the game back on our terms but couldn't convert. Our forward line is a dog's breakfast but it's only 17 points. First goal this quarter and it's game on.

    Poor Gus 😭

    Roo will get suspended

    Starting to grow into the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter. Have to be more precise going forward take our opportunities.

    Gawn starting to lift aswell as Kozzie need more action from Fritta, Trac, Clarrie cmon lads we need more from you guys.

    JVR and Tmac time to stand up and take a couple of grabs.

    Get busy Dees.

    Get a fugging move on.

    Now they are saying JVR can be called to the tribunal. Is that believable?

    Third quarter crucial. Gotta apply scoreboard pressure and be within 10 points at 3/4 time. Forward play shambolic so far so for Christ sake can we try to find our forwards on a lead.

     

    I liked the way we eneded that quarter but I don't know where our goals are going to come from. We can't seem to grasp the concept of lowering your eyes inside 50.

    1 week for certain, sadly. Textbook careless, late and high. Welcome back Brodie Grundy. Maynard should go too, because he could’ve avoided turning. They’ll give him benefit of the doubt tho.

    Richo is a deadset gronk 

    Hate his voice

    He was a sook as a player. I’m happy he got no success at the tigers.

    Now he’s a cretinous, biased dropkick with the mic. 

    TMac to back pocket, JSmith the GHF, smalls front and centre with paired run-throughs provided. Bit more from Viney, Tracca and Clarrie - not much teamwork between them. Rivers into centre, Sparrow takes on Sidebottom. NO BOMBS. JVR has got to lead to space. Gawn doing well.

    We have 8 more inside 50’s and bomb it for no result. 

    No one leads out to get separation.

    Totally dysfunctional forward line atm.

    He moved his elbow towards the chin of the pies player. Not a good look.

    Need a huge lift from Sparrow, McDonald, Fritsch and Salem. Simply not good enough so far.

    Is trac playing ?? 

    Spent a bit of time on the bench that quarter  but yea he's been exceptionally  quiet.

    I'm really disappointed after Gus was stretchered off we didn't respond .

    Tmac worries me so much.

    I know our entries are poor but he could be out bowling people over.

    I feel he just makes up the numbers when he plays these days.

    Please prove me wrong Tom.

    • 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?
