This short [censored] has to go

 

Chipping around half back and then creating a path through seems to be used a lot more than previous seasons.

Tackling and pressure excellent.

An uninspiring game, with few highlights, lots of spilled marks, lots of fumbling, and missed shots at goal.

May and Langdon excellent. Trac and Clarry looking really good.

Goalkicking - grrrrr...

Johnson looking handy.

Flat and uninspiring so far.

Our skills are appalling. Really hope we’re lulling them into a false sense of security only to switch it up in the second half.

Billings has gone to Kynan Brown's barber it seems!

And Simon Eishold’s goal kicking school 

Billing’s can’t handle pressure. Gameplan is still a mystery, looks slow and uncertain 

 

Dee Spencer is correct - we just don't move the ball. Zero run and carry....other than Koz there is no speed or dare. Devoid of ideas at half back because no one has the speed or creativity to create any space. 

Very vanilla and boring so far

So I assume Windsor is not playing HB?

Slow ball movement = no space up the ground = turnovers = mounting scores against = lose the game.

How can billings make that kick but miss two relatively easy shots on goal?

How many psychologists can we fit in the soft cap?


1.8 in nearly two quarters. 

Not only is that woeful but who the hell is our goalkicking coach??

I thought we were going to be more aggressive with our ball movement?

This is uninspiring. A praccy is a perfect place to trial dash and dare! If we lose, we lose, it’s ok, but if we lose playing safe and boring like much of last year, what’s the point? 

Freo embarrassed us TWICE last year.

What’s the point of this? 

What’s the message?

Chocos kicking school is worse than Trump University


We've made zero adjustment with our ball movement.  It's the same as 2024.

Look at the way Freo transition off half back compared to us.

Another year of slow boring football.

He's never done it before....

Horrible kicking in front of goal to have 1.5 from set shots inside 50, how do you coach for that

I was hoping to see at least a glimmer of a new game plan

We are getting towelled up again

  • 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.

    Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    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?
