Been feeling this for a while but tonight it has come to a head......we are so f$#@ing boring to watch. 

 

Other than 2021 finals we've always been boring bar the occasional quarter

    There's no run and gun in this team.

    Playing momentum footy for no reason has played right into the depleted Tiger's hands and they will now have massive belief coming into the rooms at half time.

    As someone said earlier...no leadership out there anywhere so far.

    Maxy had a chance to set things up and settle the team with two in a row and instead went for the hero kick... ughh

    Yze knows it’s pressure that beats Melbourne 

    What happened to our skills ?

    Imagine if we played a good side tonight like Geelong ? Would it be a 100 point drubbing.

    Maybe last week wasn’t an abomination?

    Don’t worry, this is made for the super sub Bailey to come in and look like a million dollars. 

    His woeful skills and decision making will fit right in with his teammates.

    That is the worst half of kicking turnovers I have seen from MFC ever. 

     

    There were worse during the Nield years!

    It has been a putrid match so far. Skills from both sides atrocious. Umpiring poor both ways. On form it's hard to see how we're a legitimate contender this year with such poor forward connection and conversion. Seems we haven't fixed our main issue of the last two years.

    Why does T Mac think he can kick a accurate pass off one step?

    he is good when he knows his limitations. 

    that turnover was soul destroying

    I don’t even know what position Petty is playing. I don’t think he knows. 

    He's a waste of a list spot in 2024. Let's hope he comes good before finals or nets us a first round pick when he pisses off to Adelaide.

    There's no pressure on half of the missed passes.

    My god we are playing pathetic football. Our skills are more akin to a bottom 4 team, not top 4 (or even top 8).

    Our forward line is a basket case, our delivery not much better.

    How much longer will our backline be able to keep our sinking ship afloat?

    I’m at the ground and watching Petty run around like a headless chook. 
    Not only does he not offer a target, his opponent (Miller) runs from him with ease. Yes, I know he had no preseason and he has already had more disposals than he had last match (3 cf 2).

    Yeah, nothing compared to the game against Brisbane. Are they still spooked from that game and feel the tigers are on top of them as the Lions did? It looks like that!

    Ditto. Beautiful conditions.  Laziness is the word. Pure laziness.

    • 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?
