This is all coaching for me. Goodwin doing nothing to stop their use of the corridor. Feel like we're going to get overrun here in the 2nd half

    Unfortunately, as our key forward he is supposed to win them, not halve them.

    Has Petracca had an effective disposal?

    Jeffersons lack of intensity has me doubting his likelihood of making it.

    But he has done a couple of nice "forward craft" things, including halving an aerial 3 on 1 contest, a couple of sheppards to free a team mate etc. so I do still have some hope.

    The lack of skills from senior players is abysmal

    Let’s hope Melky is alright

    Typically uninspiring Goodwin game.
    Might make better use of my time and find something more entertaining and productive to do.

    Tracc 14 disposals at 36%. Yikes. I’ll cut him some slack but the 2025 version of Tracc is a C grader at best.

    Really hard to win them when not one player kicks the ball to his advantage.

    That was just goddamn awful. Same old story as any other game this year. No system, no cohesion and no composure at all. North should really be a couple of goals up.

    Lever and Salem have become liabilities, Trac's confidence is shot, and Kolt just doesn't look up to it.

    I'm mesmerised that Tmac was dropped before Lever. He looks so much better than him that it's not funny.

    What the hell does Tholstrup bring to this team? Not even VFL standard.

    He’s a victim of Goodwin’s selection style. Constantly putting new players in and out of the team and playing them in different positions.

    • 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?
