Petty has no instinct, craft or skills as a forward. Can we please stop the experiment?

    Zero effort from the umpire to call play on. Viney couldn’t impact kick due to the umps laziness or cheating.

    Without any sort of explosiveness in the middle Viney and Oliver are useless.

     

    Put Pickett in there and bloody leave him there.

    How can we give up the first 9 scoring shots of the game, seriously? Looks to be turning a little but geez there are slow starts and there’s this. Dogs are running hot and will take great pleasure in eliminating our finals chances. Let’s not just hand it to them on a platter? 

    missed tackles really getting on my nerves

    What's happened to our tackling over the last month or two? It feels as though opposition players break out of them way too easily.

    Our team is an expert on missed tackles and poor kicking skills. Not addressed enough by the coaching staff for years now.

    Can we please sub Clayton Off.. killing us big time

    Petty doesn't work hard enough to keep the ball forward.

    Also English is destroying Gawn.


    TACKLE THEM. FFS!

    I feel like that’s been an issue most of the year. Everyone else looks to have Velcro and we’ve got oily hands. 

    Lucky the Olympics are on TV

    And can we please stop playing Max for this season?

    It's clear that with and without him we are an average team at best.

    Better to keep his body fresh for next season, he is our only ruckman.

    You may as well. No use leaving Pickett forward

    Rubbish.

     

    [censored] we seem to have given up

    Lack of tackling, no defensive effort, can’t win a clearance. Really poor way to finish a season.

    • 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?
