Even better eleven goalkickers today. So far, push on to 100 point win guys

I'd rather win by 20points so long as we actually turn up and compete against the Tiogs next week.

    A 100 point win equals a game up on the Tiogs and maybe a spot in the eight after next week.

    Good point and we need some percentage given ours has dropped after the Pies game.

    Hopefully they take some of this form into next week and at least it's at the G.

    Haha. Scully was good today as well. Just missed top 6.

    Doesn't alter my opinion on the contract saga though.

    Melbourne are the genuine Yo Yo team of the League.

    On our past form we'll be thrashed by 60 points next week after such a big win this week.

    But I hope we give the Tiogs a good run for their money and if we turn up we may beat em :)

    Back to 102%

    Do we know why Gysbert's was withdrawn?

    CC said soreness before the game. Also said we'll rest some of our young kids between now and the end of the season.

    Gysberts had a limited pre season, and some hard games since coming back into the side. I'm happy they chose to rest him, especially if the soreness was groin or back related. No need to push his body too hard given his previous injuries.

    I am currently in the Kimberley for work, so obviously was not at the game today. However, I managed to watch the game live on TV at the Willare roadhouse, which is between Derby and Broome. Stood in bright, warm sunshine - sorry Demonlanders- with some good ole boys, some of which wore their Freo scarves over their blue singlets. A great bunch of blokes really.

    I was pretty impressed with the Dees today and agree, as some have already said, it would be nice to see us string two good performances together. I hope we can next week against the Toigs. My highlights were Howe - this kid is going to be very good and Jack Watts. One of the rouseabouts standing next to me said, "farrk, this kid is good. He turned to me and asked me who JW was and I told him he was our number one draft pick, 3 years ago. He replied, I can see why. Of course we were all looking through the xxxx beer googles at this time - that is all you can get up here at the present time.

    But the best line of the day, given that many of them are cattle farmers, or at least station hands, was when a bloke with no teeth said, that Freo was worse than the "filim" that showed those *@#)ers in Indonesia f^in with their cattle.

    I have been a critic of DB and I don't resile from that, but I believe he would be an asset to any footy club, but just not as a senior coach. Looking forward to the Toigs game next week

    How was the atmosphere at the G today? I note the crowd was only just over 19K.

    Greetings from the red Kimberley to all Demonlanders.

    I wish desperate D'land posters would stop referring to everyone as future captains. Just let the kid play; look at how future captain Grimes is going.

    Should be a ban-able offence.

    As Chris Connolly says, it's not the captain that's important, but the quality of the entire leadership group.

    Amen to that. The big one in my time was Brock, who was all but guaranteed as captain.

    • 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?
