A pyrrhic victory. Hard to get excited. Forward line is still a big problem especially Fritsch who let a youngster in Archer wipe the floor with him.

    Our percentage is very reflective of our season, very mid.

    The rules must have been changed again but nobody told us if you move on the mark when the player feigns a handball it is 50. That is bull dust! Cost us another goal. Putrid call.

    I was just at the ground. When the siren went I just got up and walked out.

    The 50 metres to Windsor was right in front of me: to the letter of the law that’s a 50. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO TMAC 2 MINUTES LATER - AND NO 50. 

    The players were going berserk. The standard of umpiring can’t even be consistent for 3 minutes.

    The AFL is losing me. The umpiring is so inconsistent. Everyone waffles on about ‘the game is so hard to umpire’. It’s not an accident. It’s happening too often, and making them too much money.

    Assume they didn’t celebrate or sing the song?

    I am gobsmacked by that. Scoreless in the last quarter. Holding the ball whenever we had it on the wing and letting them flood.

    We have zero confidence. Zero synergy. No structure. 

    We are poorly coached and playing like huge plodders. We are bottom 4 the way we are playing.

    Surely no one could defend Simon on that call…. It was embarrassing

    A relaxing evening spent watching our boys establish their premiership credentials on the hallowed turf. Can only assume positive comments in game day thread and this one. I hope Steven May’s head is ok too. That looked very nasty.

    Did you watch that last quarter? That definitely wasn’t the worst possible result.

    I think they are saying at least if they came over the top of us we’d be looking at getting rid of a coach who has obviously lost the players

    We’re in such a hole, how is our forward line getting worse.

     

    Clarry gave away 5 free kicks tonight, $1 million a year he is being paid by us, what an absolute joke.

     

    estatic I’m going to the game next week…..

    34 points up in the 3rd and we serve that shy te up in the last.

    Happy for the young lads tonight.

    We are a diabolical football team. 15 scoring shots against a bunch of kids. Overrun by a team we have huge amounts of experience over.

    This club is quickly sending us back to the depths.

    Like it or not, it is very simple. We are the softest football club in the land. We have been for a long time. We had an aberration for about 15 months a few years ago but normal service is resumed...we are always gettable because we have soft players on every line, and as a club we've never demanded anything else.

    Don't know what was worse, England's performance after Kane's goal or us after half time.

    • 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?
