Melksham - our only winner

Petracca - disposal was amateurish

Gawn - had negligible influence

Viney - tried but limited

Pickett - great last quarter

Bowey - tried but overwhelmed

Rivers - loose and disinterested

Turner - strong first half

Langford - needed longer break

Oliver - just a shadow

Chandler - irrelevant and uninvolved

Fritsch - seemingly without heart

Sparrow - another nothing game

McVee - little influence again

Petty - was actually missed

Langdon - not a tagger

Tholstrup - a year away

May - career is fading

Sharp - little to offer

Salem - regularly slowed momentum

Jefferson - two years away

Howes - unsighted before injury

Lindsay - shown no growth

 

Umpires - doing HQs job

 

You’ve given two players a positive review (of sorts) and yet we had two players less for most of the game and went down by four goals. Genuinely clueless assessments

Ridiculous comment.

We all know, but you, we were lucky not to lose by 15 goals.

Present your 3 word analysis to show me where I misjudged


Everyone to their own opinion But we had a miserably poor 1st quarter and looked like we would go down by 60+ points, we hit the post twice and Milkshake missed at least two that he would normally swallow and we went down by 19 points to a top 8 side that was aided and abetted by the umpiring fraternity. Plus we were two down.????

Yes I think you are right. Every week this thread gets more emotional and worse. It's more of an insight into the posters fragility than a reflection. It used to be quite interesting.

Well if I were paid more to produce this thread each week then perhaps I’d present more positive reviews.

Sure:

Fritsch - tackles and goals

Rivers - 27 possessions. Disinterested?

Sharp - (sub) provided some spark

Langford - continues to grow

Bowey - beat direct opponent

Jefferson - started slowly. Glimpses

Salem

Lever

Oliver

Some big stars that no longer are.

Sparrow never was.

Tracca plays some iffy games.

Petty not a fwd. Fritta comes and goes so apart from Melksham turning up we don't have a fwd line.

This team is unrecognisable to the one that won a flag. It's interesting because there are still quite a few of them still there. At least a dozen. And they're not all old.

Come on you can do better than that. "Money improves reviews"

I agree Joe, Jefferson was poor 2 years away! That's never. It's time to move on from him he is not a AFL talent. I have said to play him for a number of games. However there was zero in that game to show him as a needed player.

Bluey- Personally ashamed to be associated with this lilly livered group.

He should be careful. That can result in haemorrhoids!

Trying to blame umpires for this is so one-eyed we should be sponsored by the Fred Hollows Foundation.

  • 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?
