I don’t remember being as angry watching the footy as I watched the quarter. So May wasted opportunities and then that missed call 🤬🤬🤬🤬.

HOW THE HELL CAN ALL 4 UMPIRES MISS THAT TRIP!!! ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.

Agreed

I can’t remember being this furious

You just know we’ll lose by a goal or two and we’ll be thinking of these ump decisions and missed shots

    What's done is done but we should be 4 goals up.

    Umpires what tha fug are you guys watching out there?

    Kozzie legged clear as fuggin day.

    Set shot kicking is killing us.

    The game is completely on our terms and we are failing to punish these social media, cuckold thriving pretenders.

    We have an absolute diamond in Harvey "Langers" Langford. God bless him.🙌

    Oh FFS. This is such a vacuous, superficial take.

    How so, we clearly have 3 tall fwds in fritsch, jvr and Jeffo that can’t hit the side of a barn door, and Jeffo and fritsch have offered 0 in any other regard, what was the thinking in going with the extra tall

    Edited by Garbo


    First half....The Hawks were ordinary but we were worse forward of centre.

    Bar Langers & Koz our kicking at goal would have to go down as some of the worst you could ever wish to see from any team to have ever played the game.

    First game I have seen us play for a while and apart from our kicking at goal we have been good. I really hope we win this.

    Adams for Jeffo = Turner forward

    Massive SC blunder

    The only way it’s possible to get that Kozzie trip call so wrong is if the multiple umpires in the area weren’t watching the play. That’s just plain incompetence.

    Speaking of incompetence: how’s our goal kicking going? If we lose this match it will 100% be because of all the misses in Q2. I can’t see Hawthorn allowing the dominance we had in that quarter to continue, so we may pay very dearly.

    Isn’t that trip a reportable offence? Should get a week for that.

    Umpires every week are royally screwing us over. Every week .

    Possibly. It's certainly unsportsmanlike. Kos was running into an open goal and that was not a genuine attempt at a tackle.

    ✅️ Kolt on for Jeffo

    ✅️ Swap Turner & JVR

    Lol at the umpiring pathetic.

    We will win this still, flood gates will open

    You may miss the Kozzie trip but what about Sicily throw? Two obvious AF frees.

    Umpiring will define the result of this game - already has to a certain extent. Hawks have had two cheapies from frees that were not there.

    Langford on track to become our best ever midfielder lol

    Don't Lol.
    Just might be true if we can keep him.

    Nothing but projection. Adams has never played an AFL game, instead of being a "solution" he could just as easily be out of his depth and put in a shocker.

    Should be leading, umpire missed trip & holding the ball

    Yeah you can blame that, but our kicking for goal has been woeful.

    Imagine that in the last quarter of a Grand Final.

    It absolutely is. He will be reported, and then fined I reckon. Which will be a gutless outcome.


    Can't see us winning this. No Viney, Melksham, Petty (or Turner) or at the other end, Lever is just a step too far. In an ideal world JVR would still be back in the VFL getting his game (back) together. As for Jefferson ... hard to see.

    Olivier looking a bit lost out there, he only knows one way to play.

    Inaccuracy not helping. Missed some very easy shots.

    I want the Kolt. How the hell is Sharp on instead of him?

    We're playing well but thank Christ for Koz and Harvey.

    Our forward line functions about as well as the jokes on bounce

    Official complaint needed to umpiring needed

    Green should beeline for media at end of game and make that case

    There is no excuse for that incompetance - none.

    Geez our kicking at goal is not acceptable. Allllllll the way back to the 2022 and 23 seasons especially 2023 finals

    Must be addressed

     

    Showing my age but I feel like I need to put on the

    every time we have a shot on goal :(

    Oliver lowered his eyes a couple of times which was good to see.

    Tracc is playing well but geez he's put some dump kicks down Sicily's throat

    • 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?
