    I expect our squad for this week to be weaker than the one that went to Darwin with at least James Strauss, Colin Sylvia, Ricky Petterd, Liam Jurrah and Jordan Gysberts Jeremy out injured and Addam Maric and Daniel Nicholson possibly at Casey.

    Port might be strengthened a little with Butcher in form but they have probably lost the two Cornes boys. From memory, Chad was probably their best.

    This game is massive for us here in Adelaide... Port will be pumped for this due to the fact it is the first of many future games at Radelaide Oval (beautiful ground) so we will need to come out firing to silence the Ferals on the hill...

    But Jack Trengove loves this ground ;) Let's smash these pricks and show John the Butcher exactly what he could be part of...

    I have a feeling Port will get up. They played well against Essendon and will want to avoid the spoon at all costs. Not to mention we are missing quite a few good players, as mentioned by Sid above. Would love to end the year on a win though, so I will be watching and cheering the guys on come Sunday afternoon.

    • 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.

      This season cannot end soon enough. Disgraceful.

      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?
