Gawn - great despite errors

Oliver - prolific but wasteful

Petracca - dynamism wasn’t enough

Rivers - has lost momentum

Bowey - another excellent display

Fritsch - had more involvement

May - outstanding all game

Sparrow - a bland performance

Salem - what’s his role?

Pickett - the real wizard

Turner - safe and reliable

Langford - needs a break

Chandler - some minor involvement

Tholstrup - lacked spatial awareness

Melksham - tried against odds

Petty - little to enthuse

Lever - steady under pressure

Van Rooyen - continued doing nothing

McVee - unobtrusive but effective

Howes - held important opponent

Lindsay - needs a rest

Windsor - limited game time

Langdon - unlikely effective tagger

 

My Opinion. Probably just semantics

Pretty good

Gawn was very average, hit to opponents advantage and his dreadful disposal is cause for concern

That’s absurd

Bowey - cool and skilful

Chandler - excellent first quarter.

Fritsch - made costly errors.

Gawn - dominant in ruck.

Howes - justified his selection.

Lindsay - struggling for impact.

Langdon - great tagging job.

Langford - pace too hot.

Lever - much improved display.

May - turned back clock.

Melksham - found going tough.

Oliver - a midfield tiger.

Petracca - power without finesse.

Petty - posed little threat.

Pickett - some magic moments.

Rivers - did his job.

Salem - past his best.

Sparrow - another mixed bag.

Tholstrup - added midfield energy.

Turner - elite defensive showing.

Van Rooyen - looked completely lost.

McVee - sound and efficient.

Windsor - more time needed.

I understand your view. 👍

Bit harsh on the younger players....... this is the top side we played !!!

Oliver : Most involved game yet

Bowey : Plays above his height

Langford,Lindsay, Windsor : This what the best side is like !!

Langdon: great team discipline

Chandler, Sparrow: need more involvement

Howes, McVee ,Turner : my doubts have been erased

Rivers : needs a role

Petracca: Tries too hard, let it flow

But is it.

It's a very vexed equation. Ruck outcomes.

Max was playing his heart out. I'm sure most were. But outcomes are the litmus...eventually.

Max won the duelling... but not so sure he won the day. Wasn't alone.

Reality is reality

Champion data for what it's worth rated Gawn at 17.6 v Cameron 10.0. In a head to head contest that's about as comprehensive as it gets. Gawn was excellent (again) against one of the other top level rucks in the comp.

Seriously give up the Gawn bashing. Greatest ruckman in a generation. Your negative obsession with him is bizarre and tiring.

Watch the replay and tell me.... how many times do we actually benefit from his ruck taps, and then get back to me... wins the taps.. maybee, but to advantage?? Let me know!!

We won clearances and Centre clearances . Gawn thrashed his top quality opponent . Can’t believe his 2 kicking errors lead to this sort of criticism

  • 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.

    Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    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?
