comments please

Tonight at 5pm.

Not sure why we're playing on a Thursday, strange time, but I'm happy that it breaks up what is already a short week. Looking forward to the telecast tomorrow night!

    Bails seemed pretty happy with the thursday night game - he said that the travel factor has been taken out of the equation as they have arrived here early and by the time the next game rolls along they will have had 9 days in between to recover so no excuses based on flight times / recovery etc

    It suits well for a Perth game, apparently you lose a day of recovery with travel, according to some comments I've heard.

    At least Channel Ten have the decency to show it live.

    Be careful what you wish for. I wouldn't be overly keen on playing home games on a Thursday night

    Yep, those notorious return trips home from WA should be rendered mute when we play Adelaide, as we would have had a 9.5 day break. I like it from an MFC point of view, not sure why it's on a Thursday though.

    Well it's an 8.40 game on the other side of the country, so it's hardly revolutionary that they are showing it live!

    Their excuse is that it leads straight into the news, as a 3:10 start (delayed) would have the telecast finishing pretty much at 6.

    It's a [censored] attempt at making their news ratings higher.

    Thursday night is a lousy option, I'm off to the Jethro Tull concert (I wonder if they will interrupt to give us the scores in the middle of Aqualung ??)

    Rocks for me. Knock off work at 9pm, fly home, rewind on the set-top box so I can skip straight through the ads and QT/HT, generally catch up by 3/4 time and watch live.

    So no footy for you. To quote Ian Anderson.."Really don't mind if I sit this one out" ?

    Thursday night is hard when the game is played here and you have to rush after work, but being interstate and starting later due to time difference, it's pretty non intrusive to life and it means you have a free weekend.

    It's going to be a nice way to end a first day back at work after a holiday and a knee procedure. Unless we lose! :lol:

    ..... in about about 10 minutes of footy.

    Was then mediocre against the Hawks (admittedly, along with more than a few others), and has had games described as "Flakey" and "OK" at Casey.

    Not really guaranteed, walk-up, first 22 performances. I was even surprised to hear that they'd taken him to Perth to be honest.

    LeCras sounds like a bluff, anyone know how long hes been training for?

    On 3AW Rumour File today it was 'reported' that Le Cras has returned more quickly than expected because he had not torn his groin muscle off the bone - as was reported at the time - but had instead suffered from a twisted [censored]. Makes my eyes water just writing this.

    Have to believe he's going to play. What would be the point of naming him and then saying he's not quite ready? Either he was or he wasn't ready yesterday when they named the team.

    To be fair he has had almost a season out.....he needs time to find his form again surely!

    • 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?
