Far too early for a topic like this. we have trade week and a couple of drafts coming up, anything can happen in those weeks

You got nothing to add, move on.

    Quite a few people have Jones on the pine? He'll win our B&F this year as a wingman. I think that's where he will stay.

    If we're to improve, he'll be on the pine come this time next year.

    Far too many people on this site completely underestimate what Jones beings to our team each week.

    Agreed! Jones always gives all he can. Sure he's not ultra flashy but he gets the damn ball and won't give it up without a fight!

    Everyone on here always are crying out for players to "have a crack", " go in hard", "don't be soft" etc. which Jones has done since day one yet he rarely receives much credit!

    He'll be a demon for life and i'm proud to be able to support him at the club i love.

    So you're predicting contested possessions, hard tackles, hard ball gets and flat out tough buggers will be out of fashion this time next year?

    I love jones aswell.

    He is only 22, and will play 300 games for the club, I hope.

    Hmmm big call but I definitely think he is a required player for our potential flag 'core'.

    Looks pretty good, but needs a power forward and one more hard bodied mid. Need to be aggresive during trade week and then i think that we could be a real finals force.

    Oh and of corse a new experienced coaching staff.

    Agree- Fevola, Lewis type from the Hawks, would really bolster our team.

    Mahoney, Royal and West should go, with the possibility of Williams moving on are my thoughts on the changes to our football department.

    • 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?
