    Isn’t it funny how most weeks our opposition are complete sharp shooters and never miss, we are bloody cursed when it comes to goal kicking

    You gotta give up something to get something.

    We have enough tall defenders to cover Disco.

    I'd send him forward and see what he can bring.

    We aint winning this without kicking straight from here

    Dominating inside 50s and can't kick a goal, Turner will be moved forward with 5 minutes left with the game out of reach

    Cursed - no. Just can’t be bothered working on it.

    Too many dumb decisions, too many missed goals, too often. Agonising to watch our defence do so much right, only to have our forward play be so poor. Sparrow's kick just then - case in point.

    Sparrow shocking disposal.

    we can be so very annoying

    1.4 for a dominant qtr.

    and we’ve gone backwards on the scoreboard.

    Do we want to win??

    Same old story.

    I’m so over watching this team kick themselves out of games. It’s boring.

    Boring is one word. [censored] infuriating is another.

    Is Chocco in charge of skills?

    He has been bleeding us dry for years filling up his superannuation fund.

    And the May-Lever dynamic duo is long gone, both way past their best.

    We are where we are on the ladder because we aren’t that good. Simple. Mid range AFL team.

    Because we are kicking from congested forward line and pushed out to the pockets while they are taking shots from the goal square.

    So much of our game today is just not AFL standard - skills and effort

     

    When are the coaches going to admit we have a serious problem with accuracy?

    We are going to kiss any chance of finals goodbye because we can’t kick straight against a bog ordinary Saints side

    • 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?
