    How was that a free kick against AJ on the wing?

    I actually think he goes ok and at least competes well.

    That's what I was referring to... it was like it was a free kick for being too strong in a marking contest. Weird.

    Decision making and execution needs vast improvement.

    Show composure in the forward 50 and we’ll win this. Rushing too often

    Was having a bit of a laugh... wasn't a terrible kick. A little bit loopy though so gave the defender a chance. Also a dangerous spot.

    I do like what I see from Sestan though, something to work with at half back.

    Casey clearly trying to cut back through the middle at every opportunity but kicking each time to a player under pressure.

    Easy to see what they are trying to do though. I wonder whether this is what the senior team is trying to do as well.....

    Great forward pressure, and certainly trying to lower the eyes. Some concrete hands ruined excellent F50 entries, but the intent and commitment to the style has been encouraging.

    Not a bad quarter, but we should be 4 goals up.

    Unusual that Fullerton has dropped a couple and almost missed his foot with a snap.

    Actually, think Verrall has won more taps than Campbell.

    Good to see some method. Just need to hang onto a few marks now.

    Trying to play the quick game and not quite connecting. That play interrupted by the siren was lovely.

    Could be the ground but we are playing closer to the boundary than we do at Casey.

    Laurie getting amongst it but needs to show some more skills. Woey needs to do more. Is K Brown playing?

    I'm not one to write of players as a rule, but geez i'm getting close with Laurie.

    Watching, i thought he had to go forward for that mark and show strength in his attack on the ball.

    And speaking of attacking the ball, just a few minutes earlier he didn't straight line a ball inside our 50, they won it and transitioned it up the ground. Poor effort.

    • 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?
