Reading that Casey have the bye...

Why not line up the Dees against Casey with a 6- or 8-deep bench for a practice match instead of one of the training sessions?

I mean, we do have players who need it.

Line up a (somewhat) weakened Dees with players like Strauss, Maric brought in, then line up Casey + a couple of Dees players (possibly including Watts).

While it's not as good as an ACTUAL game, it would probably be better than the Gold Coast game for a contest and would hopefully help build some confidence.

And yes, there is the injury risk, but there's injury risk in training too, and the match practice would be good.

    And you could convince the guys in the office next to you to come into work on Easter Monday for free to practice some paper work with you...

    Why not just let them have the weekend off?

    After all, their next game is on a Thursday nite at West Coast-

    a few extra days off may do them the world of good.

    The R&R could be good for the guys. It also gives us an extra week to let those players with little niggles to recover.

    As long as they don't all go and see whatever that movie was that Grant Thomas took the Saints to see!

    Why not let them spend a day reading Demonland.

    That'll perk them right up. :rolleyes:

    Love your wit Jaded. I hope they never read Demonland to boost their confidence.

    • 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?
