Van Rooyen just hasn’t looked like taking a mark tonight.

Just tonight?

    Tagging or not, three touches from an experienced player like Sparrow is not good enough.

    Hasn't looked like taking a mark for 12 months. No support around him but his marking form is horrific. At this point he needs to be tried in defense to save his career.

    How embarrassing. We are legitimately in a wooden spoon race with West Coast. 😂

    0 - 23 if we don't sack Goodwin ASAP

    What is Salem these days he can't defend and doesn't attack from half back. He is symbolic of the fall of our team

    thats the second goal max has cost us this quarter


    Losing to a really, really ordinary team.

    While a win here would not have said much about where we are or what we’re capable of, but geez it would have been at least something.

    Pretty deflated.

    This chick is hot and eye candy, ngl, but useless as an umpire. I dread every time we get her for our matches. Her and Nicholls kills us all the time.

    She's the pits

    Our contested marking is almost non-existent, only 4 tonight. One a quarter?

    She's terrible and I believe a Bombers fan.

    Goodwin has lost me

    but players like trac, clarry, fritsch petty need to take a look in the mirror.

    a team with 15 premiership players should not be this bad irrespective of who the coach is. shameful effort

    Kicked our 1 goal 2 behind average for the last quarter

    Good effort that

    If Kozzie leaves we're genuinely buggered

    As opposed to him staying and still being genuinely buggered.

    10 minutes enough for Goody to say there are positives. Reality was a terrible first half and a typical last quarter fade out. Eight goals same old story. There are just signs with this team they are not engaged. Don’t forget Bombers are a seriously ordinary team.

     

    Hopefully those few Dees supporters who made the trip to Gather Round, eat up and drink at the Barossa. Make use of the weekend and drown their sorrows, thanks to the abysmal performance tonight.

    This standard just doesn’t cut it. If you can’t score in the modern game, you're not entertaining and you’re not in the game.

    • 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?
