    Jefferson the saviour? I doubt it.

    Saviour? I just want to see him (and the other players listed) take the field after having an interrupted pre-season.

     

    AND MORE OF THE SAME BOMBING INTO THE FORWARD LINE FFS !!🤮

    Do I think they’ll play with as little pressure as they are today come Opening Round? No

    Are there still concerning signs about our disposal and decision making (which have been an issue for years now)? Yes

    A bit of a pattern. I suppose you could blame it on our attempt to play fast football. Fastball is not our traditional strength

    Correct.

    I don't mind it though. We know we can play lockdown footy, it's the offensive exercution that kills us. Good to get some in game experience in.

    I’m so worried about it that I no longer am.

    Wait until next week, do you really want players to put there body's on the line for a scratch match, and get injured 

    You want to see something that shows we will be a better side, the key areas that we needed to improve was skill execution and forward line efficiency.  We have seen none of that

     

    The commentators have mentioned it a few times but the one positive from today seems to be Viney's inside 50s

    Something needs to change. Just don't know what.

    Melbourne: 10.7 (67) to Richmond 12.6 (78)

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
