Our next 6 games

Featured Replies

Hey y'all, long time lurker, first time poster, 48 year old sufferer!

Can anyone give me any (rational) hope that we may win one of our next 6 games?

Our opponents: Saints, Blues, Bombers, Pies, Dockers, Tigers.

Maybe a spirited showing v Pies?

Dockers at the G? Perhaps.

I'm a drowning man clutching at straws here.

It could be a long 6 weeks.

Just stick by Jimmy....it's going to be a long road.

Our list hasn't been cleaned out yet.

I think we are a chance against the Saints. Will need some leadership though.

If only we could clone Jimmy.

The shining light when all is dark.

Apologies to Luke Tapscott.

He makes me smile.

no chance then

Agree mate, still a bit of deadwood lying around, Lynden Dumb, Bate for starters, as said before youngsters are pretty good, show a bit of promise, 23 and older are really where the problem lies.

Mate, would luv us to pinch one, but gotta be honest, cant see us winning any of those six, especially given the injury list. Here I was thinking we were starting to bat a bit deeper but we still lack a bit of cattle.

We will lose next week.

After that, the next five are at the 'G, where we always play better. Carlton is over-rated and thus beatable, we play well against Essendon but they're a better side this year, not a chance against Collingwood, more than a chance against Freo and Richmond.

If over the next few weeks we get some of Scully, McKenzie, Trengove, Bail and Jamar back that will help too, as we'll be able to cut players like Dunn, Bennell, Jetta and Newton who are not best 22 material. If we can also get back to putting in a half-decent effort and extracting some life from our senior players, we are a chance to win three of them (Carlton, Fremantle and Richmond).

It goes without saying that if we don't put the effort in the results won't come.

It's our toughest stretch all year. The next 6 games determine whether or not we will be playing finals.

And we won't be.

 

Know how you feel....Ive had that drowning feeling a lot in the last 2 weeks.....


St. Kilda will be absolutely licking their lips at the thought that we are going to resurrect their season....10 goal loss easy. We are rubbish, and I soooo wish it wasn't so.

We do bat alot deeper but we are missing 5 of our best 22 (Jamar, Grimes, Trengove, Scully, McKenzie) and we have have 5 of our next best 10 out of form (Green, Davey, Frawley, Jurrah and Morton) are disgustingly out of form. In a team of 22 if half are out or poor, you're simply not going to win games regardless of depth. Australian cricket team anyone?

Frustrating thing is that we have a couple of Friday night matches coming up, matches that are great to showcase your talent to the AFL. Not looking good.


Nope... and just being realistic the season is shot !!

Annus Horribilus !!! to the MAX !! :(

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    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?
