Billings has no awareness. his man slipped over when he took the mark but billings wasn't paying attention. He could have played on and had plenty of space in front of him to do so.

i complain about billings every week so you could accuse me of bias. fair enough. but billings is not the answer imo

I don't rate him at all! 

 

Really difficult to watch this. Our kicking and physical intensity have been horrid. Even when we do begin winning contests etc... our kicking for goal (4 of them from within 30 metres) is like country reserves footy. 

Petty has played 1 good game in 5 and the rest he has been invisible

we needed him tonight. not talking just goals but just to compete and hold the ball in

 

Reid is making us look second rate in the midfield. I'll be surprised if we get back from here. The Eagles look better than us today.

    Billings has to go now. He’s deplorable by foot, and that was the only reason we got him.

    He infuriates me.

    BBB is a very good person and has been  a very good player - but not for the future.

     

    Salem is not a midfielder - his disposal is not as good as it was and he is too slow.

     

    Now is the time for our good players to stand up.

     Billings.  Saints are laughing at us.  He is a spud.  Goalkicking like a dyslexic person at a spelling bee !!!! 

    I think the AFL world are laughing at the Saints

     

    Lucky to be only 3 goals down. We can still win this. But certainly don't deserve to

    This is a much worse result than the 2018 prelim IMO. Simply haven’t turned up and we don’t have the cattle to win a flag, or even a final at this rate. Petty, Brown, Billings all cooked. How we can butcher the ball so badly is beyond me. Absolutely gutless and disgraceful effort given the importance of the 4 points. 

    Goody nerds to take our mids after this game and give them a decent kick in the bum.

    Oliver16 disposals 

    Tracca 16 disposals.

    Viney 14 disposals.

    Sparrow 9 disposals ( very low)

    Harley Reid a young kid panting them all.

    This is the third last team.

    Chandler too has gone into a big slump like he did last year.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Yeah, what is the story. I have no faith in Billing's by foot. I don't understand why we traded him.

    If we're fair dinkum this year we win.

    Aren’t we meant to be winning this game easily?

    Again we aren’t as good what many believe we are.

    Mid table team.

    We have the talent, we lose it above the shoulders.

    This is going to be up there with our loss to Sydney in 1993.


    meth coke will end up winning by 5-7 goals imo

    losing lever in first 5 mins was a blow, but their pace is what is destroying us

    it's a carbon copy of when meth coke knocked off flagmantle; just too quick and reid is a superdooperstar

    Simple the game has changed, we haven't since 21.

    We’ve changed, for the worse. Attempted to reverse engineer something like 2020 Richmond and haven’t added the list pieces to fill the gaps for where the game is going 

     

    Not enough run in this team.  Too stagnant in general which brings the heat

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
