Is Langdon any chance of ever contesting an aerial ball?

Defence has sucked tonight

Bit our midfield has let Carlton walk it in unencumbered.  Add an impotent three talls fwd in Petty, Turner and Jvr and we were always in trouble.

Since we have gone down fighting I'd suggest we need to fix our pregame routine.

Why were we so flat at the start?

Jard to account for that start.

Exactly the same as lions and tigers ( ha ha) games.

Shocking sleepy start with fightback later.

Not good enough

This is the Collingwood QF all over again. Dominate the second half in inside 50s. Bad kicking.

This game was over at quarter time. Nothing like the QF

    Who told Max Gawn he's a good kick? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Max

     

    Our field kicking tonight has been shocking. Feels like a big drop off. All throughout the game, kicks to disadvantage regularly. 


    carlton going to flood their defence for the rest of the game. we're just going to huff and puff and not blow their house down

    Carlton supporters booing. Turn it up

    They have no idea - clueless [censored]


    No one hitting uo the leading lane there for Billings on the wing.

    Max finally clicked but way too late and ended up short of the contest and lost the battle.

    Horrid forward craft.  Sorry but you aint making a PF doing that let alone a GF

    Centre clearances 13-8 😡😡😡😡

    Yep. 

    We are supposed to have the best midfield about. I know Traccas fwd but it's really struggling this year. 

    Gee the umps make up the htb rule hot and cold 


    Should be fun at work tomorrow, cop the usual ‘pretenders’ from colleagues.

    Still can’t believe we were 5 goals down at quarter time. It’s just not good enough.

    carlton to win the clearance and respond immediately

    • 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?
