I understand the plan now, bomb it to the hotspot so many times that the defenders crash into each other and take out their ruckman - and hopefully crumb a couple of goals in the process. 
 

Nice to see it come together after 2 years of trying

    Any chance we could ask Harmes to tag the Bont??

    Will happily take the lead (albeit slim) considering how much space we've allowed the Bulldogs forwards so far.

    Windsor looks good. Staggering that Billings was given the sub vest last week. Hasn't looked out of place at all so far.

    Surprised the doggies didn’t follow Sydney and just flood the drop of the ball with players. Worked a treat for them last week.

     

    Great to see us out marking the opposition for once.

    Some decent umpiring and we are two goals up .

    May looking good.

    Kozzie too.

    Chandler getting better.

    Jvr and Oliver getting involved.


    Anyone else see May smash Harmes and then push his head into the ground??

    no love lost there!

    Lot of belting it blindly into the F50, luckily the Dogs defenders seem to have NFI under the high ball…could go either way though we would want to play a bit better to put a break on them 

    Ahead on all the key stats

    Forward entry is the usual failure but the Dogs backline is their weakest spot so we might be on

    1st qtr 

    👍🏻May. Viney. Rivers. Mcvee. Billings. Salem. Oliver. 👏👏👏

    X Gawn handball to English 🤨🤨🤨

    X umps 😡😡

    Nice comeback after the dogs start.

    Billings has done some nice things, vineys kicking is a lot better and van rooyen is taken some good marks. 

    Just need trac to stop fumbling

    Fix that and we win.

    Just lead and create space and stop bombing.

    They'll catch onto it soon enough. Unbelievable we're still dumping it in

    Where is Max?

    I've only got radio and stats to watch here, so maybe I am missing something?

    7 disposals, 3 marks, 4 clearances, 2 intercepts, 2 rebound 50s, 3 score involvements, 130m gained at 85% DE seems like a pretty good first quarter for a ruck.

    Cheers.

    I was worried he was injured when Jvr was rucking for so long.

    Brilliant finish from ANB, but that goal was ALL CLARRY!

    • 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?
