i don;t know where the inspiration is coming from today

worst conversion rate in the league. same old story

 

Playing kick to kick with each other across the back line. Bloody pathetic football

Such a frustrating game and what I think will end up being another loss.

It drives me nuts they way we play sometimes.

Probs another loss next week too. So infuriating. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

    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

    Remarkable

    Maybe to do with shooting from the boundary whilst we get torched on the rebound. Saints goals mainly from 25m range

    Obviously the club need the money but this ground is a disaster for the club.

    In all seriousness, our lack of genuine ball users is beyond frustrating; as is our inability to defend the rebound and turnover when it’s moved through the centre.

    soft turnovers

    We are giving them possession by atrocious decision making when kicking inside F50, or just poor skills. I am so enraged I keep getting up walking away from the TV for 2 minutes, ranting to myself only to return to the TV because I can't &*%$ing help myself.

    Can't we just play the game well?

    Chip 12 metre to no one. No one [censored]. [censored]. FYCK

    With the wind a very very low percentage shot from that side of the ground, it was the right ideal, just a really-poor kick.


    I don't think we get it today. Some of the skill errors look pathetic. They're out on they're feet.

    Such a shame we started with 5 losses because these losses were always going to come

    Also while I love the community work the club does up there, playing in Alice Springs each year is a serious competitive disadvantage

    Yep

    Forwards should practice two hours per week goal kicking under all scenarios.

    Elementary you'd think

    After three years I doubt it will happen.

    Anyway we are still in it. If we kick straight and stop turning it over in the middle.

    Lever bought back too soon. Not ready.

    Coaches have done their homework. Nullify Kozzie and Melksham and we can't kick goals.

    Maybe Tracc at full fwd.

    I don't know.

    Swap Petty for Disco

    Leave Disco , Koz and Melk on their own i50 as much as poss


    Brad Hill having a picnic out there. Even that dud Butler has kicked 4 against us. This is just beyond pathetic.

    Edited by Devil In Disguise

    Johnson out that a positive. That dropped mark ugg.

     

    Why hasn't Laurie been subbed in for sharp? Lever 4 kicks. Been appalling

    Oliver held all day. So many players playing poorly. Salem cooked. Rivers. Well below par. Fritsch. 10m cameo

    Sharp 5 kicks. Have seen enough

    Coach has stagefright. Can't move

    • 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?
