THE LAST TIME THEY MET

Featured Replies

Posted

I met Andy of Demonland on the Gold Coast today and he let me post this on my computer about St. Kilda and Melbourne's last meeting at Telstra Dome almost a year ago - 1 June 2008.

On that afternoon the teams were:-

ST KILDA

Backs Jason Blake Max Hudghton Sean Dempster

Half backs Jason Gram Sam Fisher Brendon Goddard

Centreline Nick Dal Santo Luke Ball Leigh Montagna

Half forwards Adam Schneider Nick Riewoldt Clint Jones

Forwards Shane Birss Justin Koschitzke Stephen Milne

Followers Steven King Lenny Hayes Robert Harvey

Interchange David Armitage Matthew Ferguson Michael Gardiner Jarryn Geary

Emergencies James Gwilt Ben McEvoy Andrew McQualter

In David Armitage Matthew Ferguson

Out Aaron Fiora Leigh Fisher (both omitted)

MELBOURNE

Backs Matthew Warnock Colin Garland Daniel Bell

Half backs Colin Sylvia, James Frawley, Cameron Bruce

Centreline Clint Bartram Brock McLean Matthew Bate

Half forwards Brad Green Russell Robertson Brent Moloney

Forwards Simon Buckley Brad Miller Austin Wonaeamirri

Followers Jeff White James McDonald Nathan Jones

Interchange Lynden Dunn Paul Johnson Paul Wheatley Adem Yze

Emergencies Jace Bode Ben Holland Chris Johnson

In Lynden Dunn Colin Sylvia Paul Wheatley Jeff White Adem Yze

Out Aaron Davey (hamstring) Ben Holland (shoulder) Mark Jamar (omitted) Cale Morton (flu) Shane Valenti (omitted)

Making five changes didn't help the Demon cause much. We were soundly trounced in a one sided contest.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
