I'm going to go early with gameday and say that today's game has important implications for the Melbourne Football Club. A good performance and hopefully a win will take the heat off the club while the spotlight goes onto Eade, Voss and hopefully, Craig.

I think our danger man today is Dangerfield and I'd like to see Jack Trengove turn it on today. He's been one of honest hard workers throughout the early part of this season and I sense that he's ready to step up a little more in the not too distant future.

    IMHO I think we are in for a solid win today! Rucks are the only concern... McKernan is a monster in the making!

    Is that the Dangerfield that we took Morton instead of?Shame Cale has been dropped we could have compared their contributions on the day!

    I just want to see real intensity today, a desire to tackle and tackle again and and a BIG in your face performance by US.To pressure them into a fumbling panic like the West Coast did to us!!!

    Today is THE Day to stand up and be counted, another display like last week and I can't even think about it what might happen!!

    If the boys are looking for some inspiration for guts, determination and leadership they need only look at the their co-tenants at AAMI the Melbourne Storm.

    After playing a test match for Aust against NZ on Fri, Smith Cronk and Slater fronted up 24 hours later for Storms win against the Broncos.

    C'mn boys you have enough incentive.....just DO it

    No brainer what to expect attitude wise but I'd to see us attack the game front on from the beginning. Bailey cast away that disaster plan thats smothering our players elan

    Davey to run harder

    Trengove to be BOG

    A win

    Mum to be happy that I'm taking her to the footy on Mother's day to thank her for making me a Demon and taking me to all the suburban grounds growing up.

    Carn the might Dee's, show the football world that last week was an aberration on a path to ultimate glory. Need to shake the soft, nice guy image that the club has.

    Lovely touch- you are very lucky to have a Mum to spoil at least once a year.

    No stagnation from defence

    Tactical reactions from coach

    Jamar and Moloney dominate clearances

    Davey to kick a good goal and really enjoy it and celebrate it

    A surefooted James Frawley

    4 quarters from Col

    Grimes hitting targets again

    Jack Watts to get reward for playing with renewed intensity

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
