Is it my imagination or has Lingers been super quiet?

No he's had a none impact game. Very unusual.

He's not alone. Kozzie getting tagged out.

Salem and Lever quiet.

    What planet are you on picket?

    Turner is our key back for the next 10 years. The worst thing we can do for his career is to keep swinging him forward, back, forward, back

    Agree but he did kick 3 great goals earlier after dominating in defence. Petty useless as forward but better at defence. BUT whole piont is this why is our bestt defender for last 2 years T.Mac not playing?? Thats down to Goodwin!

    We lifted our intensity a lot that quarter thank God, but we largely still played like rubbish I thought. Stupid errors like Melksham pulling the kick back to the top of the 50 where the sea of hands couldn't keep the ball locked and Butler ended up scoring. Even towards the end of that quarter when Max got the free just not thinking before taking that short pass and nearly costing us another goal.

    We need to bloody relax, take a second to think and then execute. Oliver, Langdon, Rivers all need to lift.

    I said i would have taken a quarter where we made inroads into the lead, I still think we can play a lot better. The game should open up a bit in the second half and allow more chances, just take them because every game is an elimination final from here on in.

    How many weeks for AJ?

    He’s a nobody and already been suspended this season, so 3

    No concussion so you’d guess just 1 week but the MRO will spin their wheel of nonsense

    137 disposals as a team for a whole half. Surely that's got to be the lowest for a team this year?

    The Saints are getting their goals from quick transition, or a "joe-the-goose" over the back. Small structural changes from the Dees in the 2nd half should clog this up.

    Lindsay onto Butler and Windsor onto the wing.

    May and Lever getting better as the game continues, Turner is in our best 3 or 4 players, Bowey and Rivers to lift.

    AJ 3 weeks.

    No concussion so it will be 1-2, probably 2 given how unnecessary it was.

    Forward tackle count is atrocious.

    Max doesn't focus on the goals long enough. He looks down with just the odd glance at the sticks and then always misses. Simply needs to lift his head up. Small change.

    Was AJ's hit he gave out, any worse than the one Spargo got?

    Saints forward line is not tall. Tmac, like May, is slow to react and useless below his knees. IMO we could only play one of them today

    At least Keeler was quiet in the 2nd qtr

    We should start pickett fwd and isolate windhanger deep.

    Thats my first thoughts but we lose his midfield drive even though he’s providing none atm 🤷‍♂️

    Yes, but he is hopeless below his knees. We could not play both May and Tmac today

    Melbourne are the most frustrating footy team ever. That is all

    Can’t understand why TMac has been dropped for Lever & Sharp should always be a sub!!!!

    Ross is a very astute coach. He’s shut down Langdon and Bowey and we’ve lost all our drive and spread.

    • 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?
