Fullarton’s field kicking leaves a lot to be desired and that’s being nice.

    Disappointing kicking since quarter time.

    it's a real worry - three pre-seasons and he simply runs out of puff shortly after half time at afl level, and by 3/4 time at vfl level

    This is his 3rd season, from my memory he had an uninterrupted preseason. He simply isn't a Senior level player. Nothing can be judged about his form today. He is playing against poor backs at VFL level.

    We can't kick them from straight in front, but we can slot them from the boundary!

    Sharp kicks his fourth

    Casey appear to have taken the foot of the pedal.

    Zebras getting some junk time goals.

    Casey misfiring in front of goal.

    Mitch Hardie uncharacteristic miss.

    Kynan Brown a smart little player.

    Sharpie’s fourth!!!!

    If you look at Jefferson’s scouting reports - he has always had days where he has kicked 2.5 and then 5.2 the next week.

    If you are looking for reasons to write off Kolt and Jefferson, you can do that today. Easily you could also make an argument that the skills they showed today would translate to 200 game afl players.

    Sharp putting his hand up with his fourth goal.

    KC he has played numerous games for the Lions and they let him go. He has had a number of senior games this year. He is a VFL standard player nothing more nothing less.

    Great followup tackle by Luker that resulted in Sharp’s fifth goal.

    sharp gets to the right spots to impact i50

    wouldn't hurt to try him as a small forward rotation with chandler in the afl

    You can do that if you don’t give handballs when they are there

    He definitely burnt a few team-mates with a couple of his goals.

    Siren sounds and that’s the ball game.

    This was another commanding display by the Demons, who will enjoy a bye next week before facing a couple of tough challenges. Although they are not yet guaranteed a finals spot, and may regret a few narrow defeats at the hands of lower-ranked teams a few weeks ago, they remain well-placed to secure a wildcard game next month. For now, it’s a matter of observing how the other contenders perform next week.

    Clueless statement. He has been dreadfully managed this year to his own detriment & that of the team. And he's not the only one managed poorly.

    I’ve heard this side over and over, can you flip the record and give us a listen to your B side,

    Yeah, definitely not writing Jeffo off at all.

    I think it's insane he got dropped instead of letting him have a run with JVR in the seniors to try and find a rhythm together.

    It just struck me as reflective of our kicking and skills across the whole group.

    A great pack mark and then a total lack of concentration and technique to put your head over the ball and drill a drop punt from 30 out.

    It sums up our season. Loads of effort and then puss poor execution.

    It drives me mad, I wanted to see the lad kick 6 today. He should be given a good run in the seniors.

    • 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?
