Possible Key player Match-ups: -

Giansiracusa - Garland. Prob their go to guy in the last few weeks as they are struggling in their forward line. Garland as our 2nd best stopper should get him.

Hall - Frawley. Hall looked out of sorts in his first game and not match fit. Frawley needs to run off Hall around.

Higgins - Played as a half back recently. Maybe a Bennell

Murphy - also playing half back. Petterd to tackle him 14 times.

Cooney - Scully.

Griffen - Mckenzie.

Boyd - Moloney.

Cross - Gysberts.

Ward - Trengove.

Only real run-with role with is Griffen-Mckenzie.

    Not McKenzie on Boyd?

    I am more confident this week than I was against Richmond... despite the game being at Etihad.

    I think the depth of our midfield will be too strong and the ruck combo of Martin and Jamar will destroy. Our back line looked back to full stability too.

    Could be a few changes from the dogs this week. I heard that Jarrod Grant kicked 8 in the VFL. Also Libba and Wallis played well. Is Lake due a call up any time soon?

    Anyway, I'm putting it out there.... Melb by 10 goals.

    Will never forget last year's game. Made it down to the G. Those maggots called umpires cost us big time.

    If we are to make the 8 I reckon this is a must win game. Would like nothing more to beat the Dogs, especailly after this week since they cost me a multi paying $1100

    We have to stop Boyd.

    Dunno if Jordie is quick enough but definetly 1st choice.

    • 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.

    • 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?
