Gawn and Petracca senior leaders missing relative sitters (Tracs a bit harder but should be nailing those) absolutely kill us. Not good enough.

Chandler burning Fritsch open in the pocket. Not good enough.

Pressure for 2nd quarter back to rubbish levels. Not good enough.

They deserve a rocket at halftime.

    With how putrid we are at defending fast ball movement, I'm surprised we've won a game tbh.


    I'm not one to do my block but that was disgraceful. All that effort to set up chances and then laziness, sloppy work, even arrogance. They need the biggest spray of all time.

    Terrible game of footy. Half time score in good conditions what decent sides would post in a quarter.

    Our inability to capitalise on this clearance dominance is ridiculous.

    Watch Reid kick three in the second half just to add insult to injury.

    Did not take our chances. Then played liked heroes expecting it would come with half ar$sed efforts. Then a slight lift in pressure from a C grade team and senior players start to panic with the ball. So Melbourne.

    Playing one tall forward in Petty which is no tall forward when he chops out in the ruck is up there with one of Goodwins worst selection decisions.

    Be hard to win now they have their tails up. Over there its a different kettle of fish. Once you give them a sniff at home - its hard to swing back momentum. We wont win now. They kicked 6 points before they kicked a goal, then kicked 4, lucky for us Reid missed a gimme. Gawn playing well, Tracc playing well, Langford dominating, Windsor started well. Rivers sh*thouse, Tholstrup hopeless, Melksham - please retire.

    The Eagles just playing man on man ....

    That's enough to get on top of us and turn the match

    No run and carry from our backline and our fwd line still stinks.

    Fritta and Petty just ain't up to it. At least tonight.

    Despite all the criticism of Oliver , we could certainly use him tonight because Kozzie and Viney ain't the answer today.

    Our transition into ourvfwd line in the first was fast and direct.

    That quarter was just indecisive and slow and into a quagmire.

    What has happened to the new gameplan

    That second quarter was the worst I have seen in decades.

    Goodwin either has no idea of a game plan, and / or cannot inspire his players. Either way he needs to join Dutton in retirement.

    That was a poor last 10 minutes but the umpiring in this game is an absolute disgrace. If we get within 40m of goal its an automatic free to the Weagles. First quarter we had their backmen cold dropping the ball, play on, for us Tholstrup and Pickett dropping the ball the latter an unbelievable decision. The non frees in front of goal and frees to them are to me cheating and not umpiring in the moment, I'm over it. add our poor kicking for goal and ridiculous unrealistic marking attempts forward and it is unwatchable.

    Followed by the 4th quarter where we are like 30-250 or whatever so far this season.

    • 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?
