Nothing I’ve seen today says we are any good. No connection, no passion and sadly no skill.

 

That feeling when you win the qtr by 2 points. Especially when you’re just kicking points.

2 goals in a half, in such a dreary, boring gameplay is not going to put/keep bums on seats. What exactly is the plan here?? Going out a win against the Suns at our own home ground? With points?

What are we doing?

Where is this team going??????

    At the vane pathetic! Goodwin has destroyed this team

    Just too close to the players. They like him but no way they respect him. Would love him to prove me wrong.

    Effort and intensity is there. Ball movement, skills, kicking are just Truly horrible… how we’re just 17 down is a miracle. On the cards they open this up at some point and win by 60 plus.

    Still waiting for this theory that we tactically managed our fitness so we could out run the Suns today to come to fruition

    How can you accept a pay cheque for halfa million dollars a year, then proceed to miss simple set shots?

    Absolute mercenaries this lot.

    Frittata’s saving grace was his set shock kicking ….. does he have any now? Very sad.

    Diabolical footy, but that was a more even quarter. Bowey and Langford have been fantastic. Desperate for a spark.

    The fact we are only 3 goals down is a [censored] miracle. If only someone in the rooms knows how to flick the on switch at half time

    When players continually fumble simple passes, kick aimlessly and miss tackles, it's not the coach's fault.

    Whatever tactics are employed, multiple players who can't get the basics right will lose matches.

    And that's where we are right now.

    I know I said this earlier but I’ll say it again. Bowey had the ball across half back, everyone was just walking, no one ran to provide a lead or create space for another player. This has got NOTHING to do with the fact we are missing a couple of players.

    Unbelievably we are still in this game.

    We need to run as hard during the game as when heading to the interchange.

    Too many "Hail Mary's".

    2.9 at Halftime

    Why would anyone want to watch that, or be expected too

    Time to make changes MFC… this week

    How was Langford not deemed good enough to get a gig last week!

    "Hoh boy, I've got the ball!

    I'm going to forget our past 36 months of footy and just KICK IT forward without looking where I'm kicking it!"

     

    We are in a serious funk. I don’t think we can play any worse.

    We just need a bit of confidence. The intent is there - it’s between the ears now.

    All the signs of a team that will go through a full rebuild, reminds me of wc in 2022, lot of premiership players still there but fallen off badly

    • 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?
