    Roo should have handballed then

    Ya reckon? I thought it was a pretty good pass.

    Fritsch has no physicality and body work to make that work.

    It was a pure one on one and it was a good kick.

    We keep sending our big body forward right up the field but I get it.

    The kid needs to keep getting the ball in his hands to build confidence.

    But Kozzy has to roll back too, so apart from Melksham. We really don't have anyone.

    I'd seriously think about trading Fritsch at end of season. I say it wilth sadness too because he has been great but not for the last two seasons.

    We are so frustrating to watch. Full credit to Melksham. The oldest player and the only one standing up. Another goal!
     

    Melksham set shot. Goal 6 (from set shots)

    That lead by Melksham is

    That last play there sums up our forward line.

    JVR has an empty goal square and forward line. Fritsch has a team mate streaming towards him.

    Three options:

    1. Fritsch leads hard to space. JVR kicks to him. Clean shot on goal.

    2. Fritsch drags his opponent away or runs off him to create space. JVR even shoots at goal or kicks/handballs to a free Fritsch.

    3. JVR backs himself in and has a shot at goal.

    None of the above happen. Fritsch jogs a lead. JVR does a chip kick 15 meters. Fritsch is spoiled, Crows get it out.

    This team is actually unwatchable.

    Just as I said. Melksham just did exactly what Fritsch doesn't.

    pity melks isn't 5 years younger. our only forward with real smarts


    Can’t win a clearance and can’t tackle. What the actual [censored] has happened to this midfield?


    Umps making sure now

    we need more of what Hibberd brought to our 21 team.

    Yeah, running those straight lines out of defence instead of boundary hugging and handballs

    • 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?
