Why the [censored] would we sub kolt.

Sparrow and chandler have been 100000% worse 

Zero tackles given his role might have something to do with it.

Because they play the same role

Why are they all unmanned so often in their forward 50?

Ok we are down in the ruck but why so poor in defensive effort today??

You can't defend so many horrid turnovers in bad spots.

Sparrow needs to be dropped for Laurie.  Too slow and badly out of form for months now.

    Is Petty worth anything as a trade now??

    Even a packet of Twisties?

    I'd even take Chicken Twisties

    Yes the 2023 off season not looking good at all decision wise by our off-field team.

    Lever is our Darcy Moore -  just wants to lay off and can’t defend a man…

    can’t believe we didn’t pick a ruck - either stupidity or arrogance

    Hubris. We got away with it in the wet against a B grade ruck combo but on a dry-ish deck against one of the best if not the best ruck combos in the league it was always going to bite us.

    You can say "oh yeah a VFL ruck is going to be the difference in a 10 goal loss" but it just gave us no chance, being on the back foot from the get go, unable to win a clearance and the ball locked in their forward line for a large portion of the game.

    Coaching clinic by Longmuir today. Utterly disgraceful effort by the coaching team. Major changes needed.

    Hawks deserve to be ahead of us. Been sensational for weeks

    They will be by the end of this. 

    Is Melksham even playing?

    He should have been subbed off rather than the Kolt

    This is going to get very ugly now 

    100 point loss on the cards

    FFS we won a Flag on this ground…

    Why would you start Salem in the middle instead of Rivers??

    Rivers is a mile ahead in the middle.  SG has seriously lost the plot this season for mine.

    Ahhh because we are 6 goals down and need a change. Rivers was slow and lazy in the middle today. He wasn’t dominating.

    Rivers has improved the backline. Salem has been more involved in the middle.

    If we had 2 Rivers we’d just play both of them.


    5 minutes of sustained effort  wow

    Hope you don’t pull a muscle Dees

    Also allowed too many easy around ground relief marks from Darcy.

    A two meter tall competitor just might get a few more of those to ground and give you a 50/50 chance.

    Especially up around the wing where a ground ball win can often result in a shot on goal.

    How wasn’t that 50 against the “athlete”

    • 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?
