    Only positive is that we just could not be worse. It looks like the two games in Adelaide have taken too much out of us. Total lack of effort.

    Btw we gifted two goals, the Howes turnover and the 50m penalty to May. Score should be 34 to 16

     

    Well anyone can beat the Crows...Hawks and dogs.

    Clearly lions have put us where we belong.

    Insipid effort by our midfielders...Captain and every single fwd player.

    Lazy, week and uninterested performances by fifteen players.

    Maybe two weeks away have worn us out but this is very poor.

    Oliver can't touch it.

     


    Very flat after those two games in succession in Adelaide. Carrying too many blokes who are sore or underdone or non existent Oliver, Brown, Petty, Chandler,jvr, billings, woey, Salem (inj) ,fritsch

    If we're tired after being up for a month, you have to wonder how the coaches didn't see it through the week. If we thought we'd just turn up then the players need to get their heads checked. This is last year's grand finalists we're playing.

    One of our worst quarters in a long time.

    we aren’t interested in moving it forwards quickly, as it could expose us going the other way (even though we’re down by 5 goals 🤦‍♂️).

    why are we afraid of scoring?

    This is simplistic. We are down in all areas aside from goal accuracy compared to last year and we are getting smoked by a team that is going moderate to good in all areas aside from accuracy. Just so happens there slotting them tonight.


    👍🏻GAWN. RIV. SPARROW. LEVER. MAY. MCVEE  

    PASSENGERS : the rest 

    Petty  BBB  JVR  all hopelessly beaten 

    X stoppages 

    x fumbles 

    x disposals 

    😡😡😡umps 

    Stop Neale 

    clearances 27-18 

    Selwood says WE DONT WANT IT. Have to agree !!!

    Petty doesn’t give a stuff. Looks like he has checked out. Only positive is Rivers.

    Petty worst game ever.

    Missing Kosi badly. Could spark our midfield right now.

    Billings has to go out.

    Petty is also in danger.

    MAX GAWN is a poor ruckman, Ive thought this for a while, rarely feeds our mids. Great around the ground marking etc but a poor ruckman at centre bounces!

    Your better than that, maybe take a breath before you waffle

    • 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?
