Time to give Jefferson and Fullarton a run and see what they have to offer.

    Oliver was putrid in the last quarter, let Green push him around like he was a first year player. Tmac looked like the tmac of old.., Have we won a close game since 21?? We buckle like a cheap seat from Anaconda 

    Beat the Lions last year off the top of my head

    Why can’t we seal these close games 🤷‍♀️

    Just watch those last 3 minutes.

    We didn't even man up properly when they took position.

    We're so one dimensional

    Genuinely lost that game due to the umpiring. 

    3rd game where a sh-t free, this time to toby ducking, costs us a loss by under a goal. Sick to death of it.

    Head in the sand. Their handball game in the middle of the game and our horrible centre clearance work were the difference.

    Tough loss.

    Thought our effort was very good most of the night. stuck at it when the game looked gone

    They just had that bit more class than us when it counted.

    The boys can hold their heads up. We were just beaten by a better team on the night

    Go dees.

    Platitudes, we are Sheeit so many ordinary players

    Billings and Laurie not up to AFL standard.

    Now that I believe in ... Turner should have been on earlier as his bulk and marking were missing up forward. Rotten season for all of us.

    After being so good for 3 quarters, perhaps he didn't have the fitness base to go a 4th.

    [censored] we miss Trac, that's all I have to say. Cue in the rack, stub the durrie out and throw the stubble against the wall. Time to look forward to 25.

    Who would have thought that Tom Green would have won that last centre clearance. We were shizen all night in the middle.

    It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.

    You'd think they would have put Koz in the guts with a minute to go.

    Instead they waltzed it out

    Effort was there. Just not good enough. Bloody frustrating though.

    - Lose to Carlton by a point 

    - Lose to Brisbane by 5 points

    - Lose to GWS by 2 points

    Mids got absolutely smashed all night.

    You'd think by the last quarter we would have at least try to really go defensive on their mids to stop their stoppage dominance, but no we didn't.

    Oliver giving Green space in that last centre contests sums it all up.

    We cost ourselves. They dominated us for long periods of time. Used it better and were just a class above. We tried hard but they’re simply better.

    We don't run with the ball and link up, don't hit targets and we are so slow to move it in transition.

    We only looked dangerous when we were taking the game on in the last 6 minutes.

    Such a cop out excuse.

    Footy is a 4 quarter game.

    No. He switched off. He is a shell of his former self, he was unaccountable

    Heartbreaking. 

    But the loss sums up 2024 perfectly.

    We showed glimpses, but not consistent enough. Our lapses are too frequent and too costly. Better teams are overtaking us now and we’re too slow to respond and too little too late. 

    Can we get a Hogan type player? 🤣

    Good to see Petty continue to improve.

    Still a sniff for finals but will be tough for the reasons above. Still hoping.

    • 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?
