Obviously it's now a massive question as to who picks up Pendles. Without Swan and Thomas, if someone can keep him relatively quiet I think it will greatly increase our chances.

I don't think Jones would be a bad match up all.

    Beams out also.

    would be handy to have Flash back this weekend considering how well he played against them last year, but I'm loving our current midfield line up. I reckon we are a chance. I'll be there nevertheless.

    I think Melbourne will win but I always do, the margin is of no consequence winning by a point would do.

    Must have been one of the few who did last week I got 8 winners plus a bonus point on the Demonland tipping.

    If we are close at three qtr time we will win.

    I look forward to admitting you were correct.

    Last year the Dees drew and lost by a point in their two games with the eventual Premiers. Liam Jurrah did not play in either game. Surely it's time to let him off the leash and let him go for his marks and he could help get the Dees across the line on monday.

    This is an interesting point. Did Jurrah play against the Pies in 2009?

    Given that we kind of poached him from Collingwood it would be great to see him rub salt in the wounds with a 5-6 goal haul. Could be the difference

    I'm coming from Canberra, as I do every year. Love it!

    Weather forecast for Monday is mostly sunny with a minimum of 8 & a maximum of 15 - chance of rain 30%. I reckon if this forecast remains accurate, we will get around 65,000 to 75,000 at the G.

    Regarding the game, unfortunately my confidence with a win is not very high. I see a resemblance to the Dorks game, competitive until half time, then it will slip from us. Filth by 45 points.

    This game will be our Waterloo.

    The second blinder for the inform fab 4, Gyberts,Mckenzie,Scully and Trengove.

    Watts and Jurrah to star.

    Moloney,Sylvia and Jones to crunch bodies.

    Frawley and Rivers to Punch everything outta sight.

    and a few surprises as well, Howe to kick 4.

    I reckon they will bust a gut to win this,itll be the day we arrive as a side.

    Dees by 21points!

    This will be Jurrahs first game against Collingwood.

    I've got a good feeling about Watts and Jurrah this week :) .

    According to the Herald Sun today Melbourne Coach Dean Bailey last night was buoyed by the Pies midfield woes

    No Swan, No Thomas and no Beams-- its a oppurtunity for us Bailey said on radio."

    It certainly is a oppurtunity, the only question is, are we now up to grabb that oppurtunity and make the most of it

    Based on last weeks performence one would be tempted to say we would , but ............

  • Quote

    I get more worried without them there as they will try to lift to replace them. Nonetheless it is a great oppurtunity if we bring our "A" game. With Watson and Hocking missing last week i thought our midfield would run too deep and would trouble them and turned out true. Another game under Scully and Trengoves belt is surely going to help. Step up Dees!

  • Quote

    got a feeling Scully is going to dominate this one and Watts will be getting a lot of attention for the right reasons this time

    Surely you wouldn't rather them having their best side..?

    That's like saying that we'd rather have all of Jamar, Garland, Grimes, Trengove and Scully out (as we did a few weeks back) because the other guys are trying to lift to replace them.

  • Quote

    With no Swan, Thomas, Jolly and Beams, we have a good chance. Of course, things would be easier if we had Jamar, Grimes, Garland, Bail, Tapscott and an in-form Davey.

    I reckon they'll beat us by about four goals, but I can see us being in the contest until at least three quarter time. I fear that even if we are in front at the final change, they will smash us to pieces in the fourth.

    A Draw for mine also.

    not to mention Sylvia and Bartram either out or underdone

    • 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?
