My favourite win in the past 20 years is the final in 2000 when we beat this bunch of flogs and I want that same feeling at 5pm today

C'mon dees

    Evans as the sub

    Which means we get JKH for 4 quarters!!!

    Also late change: Mitch Robinson OUT Nick Graham IN

    I think Robinson is running from jones after what Jonesy said in the press earlier this week

    Robinson out is awesome. He always kills us and I loathe him. He also resembles a fish at times.

    This is the perfect time for Jonesy to stamp his authority on this team as Captain.

    I heard what he said on the radio this week....

    The Blues have two first gamers in their team today and it's probably one of the least experienced Carlton sides that we're going to be taking on in years. I don't think we should underestimate the experience factor as the team with the most games under its belt at this level usually has a head start.

    Let's smash 'em.

    Nathan Jones to dominate out of the middle, James Frawley to keep his opponent goalless and provide good run, Dawesy to take a couple go good contested marks and show the team how to kick straight and Howe to take a speaky at some stage.

    My concern is that Cripps will tear us a new one and get rising star nomination as happened against Saints and GWS.

    Hope I am wrong but have a sinking feeling about it cause it has happened before and Melbourne seem to play other bad teams into form.

    James Frawley to keep his opponent

    goalless

    Pretty sure Chip will play forward next to Dawes, hope so anyway

    Weather fine, been sunny most of the day. Looking like no rain on the radar too. The stars are aligning!

    That would fly in the face of Roos and his policy of holing back his young players at Casey until he thinks they're ready. He would be hugely embarrassed if those young Carlton players were instrumental in our going down today.

    I am fully aware of how bad we have been but Carlton haven't been much better, they only game they even got close in was against Richmond who don't look any better than GWS and Stkilda to me, i'm not sure us sitting at $6 to win is fair

    i reckon we should be more $3

    I would've liked someone to snot Robinson and it would've been nice for us to, for once, take advantage of his ordinary disposal.

    But, it he's out then that's it for the tough guy act

    that's true, Stone did say we would go with Chip and Dunn forward again.

    I'd like to see Frawley forward and Dunn back, given that Dawes is playing. Not too fussed about it though.

    My sentiments exactly Rowdy.

    It annoys me that our home ground is sullied with their 'we are the Navy Blues' signage.

    F### I hate these flogs. Let's lift a gear and clean 'em up!

    First free kick to Carlton for a hold. Reactive umpiring after last night.

    On my way there now with the son and heir. We all need a win!

    Nice mention to Mitch Clark on the top of the banner -Farewell Mitch - good luck.

    Nice subtle touch

    It's a bit blowey where I am sitting.

    • 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?
