Does anyone else want a 100 point loss so something can change? 

Doesn’t matter how big the margin is, the change won’t come

    UOf course amiss doesn't miss against us. This is going to be a percentage killer, a top 4 killer & maybe a top8 killer

    At this point I am seriously considering missing top 8 may be the best for this team.

    New ideas are needed to keep pushing the side forward.  Yze bought in new ideas that had impact and success.  His replacement doesn't seem to had the same impact.  We need to go and find a high quality senior assistant to chalkenge replace Goodwin and push the team.

    Getting smashed and people are blaming the umpires? Come on. 
    First to the ball = first to the free. 

    No one is blaming the umpires for us getting done. That's on you.

    But are we not allowed to comment on the standard of umpiring?

    It's the game day thread, FCS

    Not thinking I'll need to WANT it.....

    Not something I didn’t consider.. but prob don’t need 100pt to ruin confidence entirely but hey — modern footy is week-by-week proposition that’s for dang sure

    Whilst not blaming this pathetic performance on the Umpires, aren’t people allowed to comment on poor decisions ?

    While simultaneously kicking one goal a quarter.

    Glad I turned it off

    Is Simon still there ?  ..  asking for a friend 

    Any chance we could turn up to a game with the mindset of putting immense pressure on the opponent?

    Frees 4 - 12 not one HTB

    I wouldn’t be looking to the free kick count as a reason for the scoreline… we are playing rubbish footy, the likes of which I haven’t seen since the Mark Neeld days.

    Can we still sack him despite having extended his contract last year?

    Definitely pre Paul Roos era, so 2013.

    Are our players just content to be on an AFL list? 

    Said it before and will say it again, we arent that good.

    We arent a big club.

    And this sort of stuff affects membership too.

    What a shame.

     

    Freo player drops ball instead of returning to Windsor who won the free. No fifty called. More [censored] umpiring

    The funny thing is, it’s change we’re trying — we could go back to 22-23 Brand in no time but WHY? Do what you’ve always done and you’ll get same result.. 

     

    how can no one else see this IS trying to change????? Goodness me.. I’d rather we don’t change and just kicked straighter (ly) but I also see we can’t keep getting to finals, dominating i50 and LOSING!!! We lost 4/4 finals — We have to try and transition our game and we will, it’s a bump in the road, just hope for no injuries & put it behind us!

    Like what?

    This team is done and dusted.

    Mentally lazy.

    It reeks of .." but we have won a flag."

    Us supporters deserve better than this.

    Shame on these players.

    Shame on the coaches.

    I feel sorry for those fans that spent their hard earned going to NT for this game.

    And why exactly are we playing in Nt to start with?

    Like we haven't travelled enough this year.

    Max and May 33 next year. 'Dynasty' is officially over.

    We are still on time to try and do a mini rebuild. Starting with the coaching staff.

    I think some peeps have been a bit spoiled.. I wish I could make it so that when you jump-off this quickly you can’t enjoy the high-rides but I know where you’re coming from and would’ve once felt similar but this is a perfect day for a team that’s choc-full of confidence and we’re barely there! Maybe this is a butt-smashing we need?
     

     No reason it can’t be.. I choose to keep faith, everything’s going right for them and it’s evident they’re chasing in. I can’t smash a team that’s given me so much resounding reasons to trust them.. I mean look at that Serong Goal for goodness sake off back if DARCY lucky goal and Frederick boundary goal, that’s just bananas & good on em!

    We’ll bounce back next week.. you don’t lose ability overnight for goodness sake! 
     

    Harden up ppl, it’s a crappy day — move fwd.  

     

    I suppose for some it's the same it's as being a Trump supporter stuck in a bubble.

    the fact our second best defender is probably also our best forward genuinely makes me laugh.

    • 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?
