The Bye did a job on Adelaide a couple of weeks ago and has seemingly scared the crap out of St Kilda, but I just think Melbourne have got better depth and class and will steamroll them. Tiwi Islands in for their first of the year, whether he will have an impact isn't known yet.

    And if we don't win by 150 points, Bailey is going to be ritualistically murdered by me and a cadre of vampire-witches!

    Relations with the Missus at CHB is the danger player to watch.

    He just loves to surprise you from behind, but push his buttons enough and he'll be out of the game by quarter time.

    Why the %$#@ would you drop Martin this week ! The guy is a shining beacon and can do better than Newton, tenfold ! FMD

    If we put Newton in, then expect the bye to over run us this week.

    I was sitting there for 20mins trying to work out who I forgot.

    After seeing Newton during pre-season, I think McDonalds will smash him.

    Don't worry the FD penciled in Martin for a break this week - His GPS plots had gone up so much this year they were worried about burnout. He's got a light week on the track and will be freshened for Wet Toast next week. They also thought he should go to WA early so as he can maintain the physique and sunbakeing ritual without reverting to the solarium....

    Very much a danger game.

    Honestly, I don't see us winning this one. I don't even think our players will turn up.

    Was thinking the same thing. We have dropped games like this before.

    According to Garland, Martin has been "out-tanning" the best of his teammates in the off-season.

    Solarium or spray on ?

    who is going to tag Moloney this weekend? surely Bail will get this job

    I'd just like to clarify.

    I don't really think this is the danger game, I think we'll dominate the Bye. But they're a hard team to pull up from, and with only a 5 day break before the next game, it could be a worry.

    I think Wonaeamirri wouldn't mind taking on Tiwi Islands this week.

  • Quote

    I would prefer a runnng player as the SUB - Wona maybe

    Boozebus could be a problem if it starts on Moloney

    Could just do enough to block his run in the middle.

    Boozebus is a front runner, if it gets a sniff ,Beamer could be found wanting.

    Boozebus blanketed the whole midfield , alone, the week before

    let nothing through, ione to watch, as a top class stopper.

    Tapscott for Rising star this week will destroy 'Kids Classes'

  • Quote

    Definately concerned about this week.

    Most of there players always seem to go that bit harder on a long weekend.

    In particular; Relaxation, Holiday, Partying and Family time. And we can be sure that Booze Bus will cover alot of the ground.

    I disagree - I think the bye is a perfect matchup for Newton

    Sin Bin could be dangerous coming off the bench..

    Their HF line is overrated I think. Twitter in particular.

    • 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?
