    righto. i’m off to my super important BS meeting

    ill be checking this thread though so no spoilers!!

    Tall forwards need to at least contest the footy and bring it to ground, getting out marked far too easily. Smalls need to apply far more defensive pressure when it does hit the deck. Looks like they're walking it out at times. We're not out of this yet but given its wet it's going to be a struggle.

    I was before the game but that has quickly worn off! Grabbing a drink to settle my nerves.

    It’s hard to think of anyone who is playing well for us and so many non existent. It’s been a real hard watch so far. Would love to know how fit our midfielders are.

    It's Blind Freddy and friends out there in Green.

    I don’t understand why more club execs don’t question this in public

    For a multi billion dolllar enterprise it’s absolutely unacceptable 

    heads must roll

    if nothing else pert just question the treatment of max 

    Bigger than umpiring though. Post the Maynard attempted murder pert should have beelined for media hip and shouldered daixos away and said “THAT. WAS. NOT. A. FOOTBALL. ACTION. We expected 8 weeks.”

    can we please have a proper crack in this half and restore some respectability.

    Our game plan and forward structures are not conducive to kicking big scores.

    That’s been a problem for a while and been staring us in the face for so long.

    Weve placed too much of an emphasis on contest and defence, to the detriment of scoring quickly.

    Scoreboard pressure is the best type, ours moves slower than a flat battery clock

    when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

    Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

    What do you want me to do? 

    - 16 contested

    Yes, why did we take Tracc off.  Just a complete brain fade of where the game was at and instead going with pre programmed rotations like robots.

    Same with Max in the first.  Left off at the wrong time of the match for too long.

    Petty down back on DeKoning to free up Lever as the spare.

    Leave Tracc up forward.  Kozzy into the middle.

    What a good start to the second half

    Good night.


    Touched but camera the 1975 model.

    Our midfield is really broken.

    Jack Viney is nothing like his last season. They look very very flat footed.

    That tackle by Sparrow was unacceptable.

    Well a couple of Carlton fans just got engaged on the big screen while Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing. 
    So…. Ummm… yeah 

    The MCC is playing to the [censored]. Can’t talk to your neighbour during breaks in game now.

    That passage sums our night in 10 seconds of play. Poor hit out, weak tackle attempt, no pressure at ground level, defenders out of position.

    • 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?
