Huge game this week in reference to the ladder .

Log jam of sides including us on 22 points looking at a spot in the 8 .

Richmond would love to take us down , not only for the 4points .

They wanna prove that they can take us without the prime draft picks .

Like North , got abit of an inferiority complex they do .

If we can match thier intensity , this will be a cracker game .

    Yes this is a massive game. The media will also build this one up. Saturday afternoon at the G, big crowd. Really is a big game for Dean Bailey. He really needs to get the players up for this one, thought he did a brilliant job yesterday and the message to get the ball inside 50 quickly got through. Garland is important and I hope he plays. Jamar will be good to come back, but may play more forward with Martin playing so well.

    Get the feeling it will be a finals type atmosphere and think Sylvia and Mckenzie will dominate.

    cant wait to see jordie mckenzie run with dustin martin, will be an interesting match up, and i reckon the dont argue will be less effective when the takling machine is trying to grab a hold of him!

    This game is not big, it's huge.

    i still remember Round 22 1998....i think that's when Richmond started this modern dislike for the MFC

    Great call. Jordie V Martin will be a cracker. We will smash Richmond. Lets dine out on some Tigers.

    The return of relevant games began with Hawthorn last year.

    We get our second one under Bailey this week. And the next week.

    Looking forward to it.

    That's because a Melbourne player, and I think it was Stinga - but not certain- , siad that the Richmond team were arguing amongst themselves and he called them the Richmond netball Club. Farmer took mark of the year from memory. Won by 12 goals.

    Looking at the week ahead I'd say this is match of the round. Richmond is in good form and we've just smashed freo, we're also staring to gain a few players back while the likes of Stef Martin have relished the extra responsibility.

    I can't wait to see Jordie line up on Martin, that will be an awesome battle.

    Really pumped for this one, reckon it'll be a bumper crowd too!

    And maybe Steph to pushback into the Hole. Or the Ruck to do so?

    Sweepers with speed needed this week, a bit like the Dons game. Exit mortein. Bring in Mr Sheen!

    Push Up King to miss, probably makes it a lot easier defensively - Bartram on Nahas, dunno who their replacement for Push Up would be

    • 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?
