Starting to really like Turner forward. Good level of mongrel, has the best agility of our usual tall forwards. He and JVR are a good combo to build upon.

Turner’s best asset as a forward will be/is his mobility.

    Salem has no quickness on his feet.

    Liability defensively.

    How distant his 2021 form looks today.

    I think he's been played through injury and been hampered this year, like many of our players.

    Has time and space and just burns the disposals 

     

    Turner has a bit of agro about him too. And I love how Van Rooyen insists on running through people after he takes a mark.

    Jesus Riv

     

    Rivers is a momentum killer 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Players that I am concerned about moving forward - Salem, Petty and Bowey, not sure Billings is a 'competitive beast' either but id like to see more of that disposal.

    Howes good, Rivers thinking about Mad Monday already. Lift your game Trent, lazy football.

    Rivers has got to get those dinky flashy kicks out of his game.

    Rivers is mentally in Bali already.

    Or a WA club

     

    Riv needs to find something because he ain’t playing midfield with that type of disposal. That was a handball everyday of the week.

    Our disposal is comedically bad. 

    there is a river in our momentum

    Looks totally disinterested 

    Wtf happened to that enthusiasm moving into the guts...?

     

    Zero tackles from Nibbler.. Hmm that’s unusual. Perhaps preserving himself for his next club.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
