Sparrow - Twenty Pressure Acts

The highest were ANB and Chandler with 22 (not exactly ā€œlimited involvementā€), but Sparrow is consistently high in this stat. I think Goodwin has him playing a pretty unglamorous role this year, and I’m sure the coaches aren’t as down on him as a few posters have been lately.Ā 

Oh and also worth mentioning, the other player in the top four for pressure acts was Harrison Petty, also with 20.Ā

Salem - contest work underrated

Put his body on the line repeatedly tonight.

Yes he didn’t star but did what was needed. Ā Improvement still to be seen and he has a key role over the next 6 games.Ā

They should give him a game next week, maybe rest Moniz-Wakefled.

Why in the world would AMW need a ā€œrestā€? Ā He ain’t Joe Biden 😓

Thanks Mel. Ā These pressure acts are mostly unseen by the fans at the ground - many of whom still want ā€œkick it longā€ - but are incredibly important in the structure of the team.

Looking forward to binman’s stats analysis tonight.Ā

Surprised when he was ā€˜rested’ during the final qt Saturday night. Certainly was fully invested in the team performance prior to that. May not have the finesse of Salem or Bowey but his combative, take no prisoners attitude has been noticed. Mentioned in dispatches by the Channel 7 commentary and didn’t take a backward step in the contretemps V Jake Stringer.

Just want to say how important it was that Max was out and i don't know why?

Joe Biden - I think he plays for the Cats.

As much as I don't like umpire 22, I thank the lord he's no Dean Margetts.

Pontius Pilate would do a better job 'crucified' Tim Smith.

Good assessment JB.

I thought Oliver was very quiet in the first half and on the bench longer than he should have been.

But he can alive as Oliver of old in the second and it was heart warming tuff.

He Langers, Melksham and Nibbler were back to their sublime best.

Rivers and kozzie in the guts too were fantastic.

I've argued all year our midfield has been down on impact this year but it seems to have turned the corner.

Despite having no ruck we won the clearances in the wet when we have lost a lot of games on these conditions.

As mentioned numerous times Melksham in or fwd line makes it go from average to dynamic.

He is a super hard matchup for others and we now have an easy 100 point kickingĀ  fwd line.

Apart from his sliding smart goal to a vacant goal square, his kick to Turner was pinpoint accurate such that Disco didn't have to break stride.

Can't wait until Max is back and Jvr gets to play fwd with the others and not so much ruck work.

As good as Kozzie is in the middle I'd like him fwd as much as we can spare him.

  • 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 CampbellĀ with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprenticeĀ Will VerrallĀ 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?
