That Kossi bloke is not too bad.


Langdon had five second half possessions with 1 tackle. Went missing big time.

I think that's the problem.

Our lack of quality smalls and theirs being so good really stood out today.

Tom McDonald - Best on Ground

A bit tough I think, I thought he was very competitive and strong in the contest. Pretty good for mature recruit, never played at the level

Henderson also looked comfortable with the pace of the game

Lindsay looks swift and classy! Thought I was watching a Febey ♥️💙

Also gave 2 goals away in the first half through lazy kicks...going backwards no less

I heard the ABC call for the first half and watched mist of the second half.

i think I agree Chandler, Howes and Fritta

should be embarrassed to take the coin for this week and be nervous about next week’s. 
and I think the AFL and their round zero can shove that idea where the sun does not shine.

we did well but not well enough

Fritsch out Turner in, and put May at FF

Chandler out Spargo in

I was at the G and kept a close eye on Fritsch for most of the game.

Whilst he was far from his best and didn't trouble the scorers, I was encouraged by him getting a lot more involved in the sleeves up, second & third effort type stuff, rather than his more typical floating around the fringes waiting for someone to get it to him. 

If he isn't getting points on the board I at least want him putting heat on the opposition defenders so someone else potentially can.

To my eye, he did that job pretty well.

How much credit does Fritsch have in the bank after his Grand Final success?

At what stage can we say that his performances just aren’t worthy of automatic selection?

Carefull....

At times he looked sore and at one stage he couldnt run but in aswer to the question probably by round 4.  Still, who comes in?

I agree

He showed no interest at all getting himself into the game

Fortunately for him, we don't have a replacement

Bowey - impressive all game

Yes Chook, I felt that Bowey was impressive across the game, not necessarily all game - but it was great to see him more active and inventive with his kicking skills, accuracy and tenacity in winning the ball on occasion. He can only put these experiences in the bank, work on these, become (once again) a really good clearing backman. I'd hope that the return of Judd will add to his capacities etc.

  • 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?
