I'd bite through bullet now and bring him in for Spargo.

Thought the same, spargo seems nowhere today.

 

We’re in this. Boys are having a crack but so far it’s just that the Lions are a better skilled team. Simple as that. But they are not unbeatable. We can win this.

‘Just’ need to clean up our skills, make sure we take our chances and keep up the pressure until the very end. AND DO NOT THE LIONS GET ANY CHEAPIES.

Just that, and we could be a shot.

    Can’t complain too much with the effort so far.

    But this is the gameday thread so I need to let all the negativity out. The quicker we can replace Sharp and Spargo with proper AFL players the better. We are wasting Windsor down back who by the way has suddenly become a huge ball butcher. Get him playing in the right spot would be a start. May has been OK but what the hell was that effort on Gardiner?

    I honestly like AJ. I’m sure his stats suck but he gives us something.

    Just quietly Clarry is …. back?

    I'm with you on AJ.

    Give him a couple of games.

    The desperation and physicality is there.

    We're still in this and stopped the bleeding.

    But as someone mentioned, we seem to work so hard for nil return kicking to 1 on 3 contests in our f50.

    We're playing the boundary so much. It's incredibly frustrating and must be exhausting.

    We've played a good team who use the corridor last week and a great team who use the corridor this week.

    We need to be able to learn from them and cut them open same way.

    Please make this the last time we see both Sharp and Spargo in the same team.

    Both need to go.

    Is Spargo playing on Zorko?

    If he is, his first half is doubly pathetic.

    7 possies with probably 6 turnovers.

    Zorko has had 18 creative possessions.

    Windsors pre season or lack thereof is behind his inconsistency but agree HB is not for him. I’m not really sure where he is best suited.

    From memory he always had question marks on his kicking skills.

    Well that would be the wing where he played some scintillating footy last season along with a number of fabulous goals on the run.

    Not sure why we're playing him off HB. Another SG special

    We were unlucky with that rebound. Should have been a deep 50 entry

    Shocking HB attempt from Tracc

    Done a few good things but offset by the bog ordinary

    The Lions are SO confident we will turn it over that they're keeping one or two numbers ahead of the ball readying for the sling shot off of our regular turnovers and clangers in transition

    Would help a lot if Pretty at least made an attempt to compete in a marking contest. 2 weak efforts so far this term

    • 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?
