6 Gawn - despite his woeful goalkicking .

5 Turner - one of the few to hold his own.

4 Pickett - early flashes of brilliance.

3 Howes - surprisingly composed under pressure.

Couldn't even find anyone worth 2 or 1.

    Gawn easily. "I'll take you both on with one arm tied behind my back".

    Pickett for a great quarter and a half

    Bowey 21 at 90% and our best ball user.

    Fritsch who looked a threat and got plenty of the ball

    Howes who played probably the best game of his career to date

    Turner who is a real asset with his versatility. Genuine utility players are hard to find but he is one.

    I thought Oliver was ok. He tried hard. May did most things well except stop his man.

    Amazing we give BOG game after game for a bloke that can’t kick

    2.13 for the year is just not acceptable

    I love him and he is a MFC legend but he is part of the problem

    His kicking in previous years was much better. It’s all mental and he is our leader

    Agree about his goal kicking but pretty much everything else the man does is exceptional. The only problem he is a part of is the goalkicking malaise. In most other areas he is our only answer.

    True but his goal kicking is killing us, such a momentum killer

    6,5 no one deserves these two

    4 bowey

    3 fritsch can’t believe he got 20 sports bet would have been paying a lot for that

    1 langford highest disposal getter at qtr time, some good moments can’t believe he is in his 12th game or something let’s hope he doesn’t leave us he has the potential to be better then trac and oliver

    6 Gawn - a clear winner again, although his kicking for goal is frustrating.I don'tget why he doesn't aim right and allow for his pull.

    5 Turner -beaten a couple of times on the lead by Georgiades early, he looked dangerous and mobile as a forward.

    4 Pickett - brilliant first half but glute injury made life trickier for him after the break. Teammates blocking his run didn't help as well.

    3 Bowey - once again clever and quick with his clearances, although he did have one howler from a kick-in.

    2 Fritsch - should have kicked five but fumbled a few times when a goal awaited, but kept presenting. Based on that form maybe he's ready to go back to being our third tall up forward.

    1 Howes - did a pretty good job on Rioli for much of the game. Signs that he may almost be AFL standard now. Just needs confidence.

    6 - Max despite his two misses

    5 - Fritta worked hard all day

    4 - Bowsa just wish he had more of it

    3 - Disco

    2 - Clayton

    1 - Blake Howes

    Then Kozzie, Tracc and Langdon

    When things were hot and we were right in the game our misses were huge momentum killers. Georgeades was huge his leading and marking was red hot we had no one that could go with him and Ports delivery to him was exceptional.

    That should be Langford.

    Well, if Max's kicking is truly "ikilling us", he should obviously be dropped.

    Who in our current squad would you think can do a better all-round job than Max?

    Geez, I watched the first half and yet to see the second, but I'm a bit gobsmacked as the players listed above didn't stretch statistician in the first half - Fritsch, Bowey, Howes! I look forward to the second half (apart from the outcome).

    6 Gawn - 100% heart , but his goalkicking is beyond horrific

    5 Pickett (electric in 1st half until Butters elbow to the jaw)

    4 Fritsch - looked determined and took some opportunities, but missed shots were costly

    3 Turner - solid 2nd half

    2 Howes - one of the only solid composed players in the back half

    1 - Bowey. Usually consistent with disposal. BUT was poor with the two turnovers in the first qtr that cost goals !!!

    Lots of negative votes.

    I thought May did OK untill I saw what his opponent did. his mate number 8 was poor as well.

    and i like SM

    • 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?
