    Jordie and others need to make him earn those frees. I noticed (and I dare say Jordie would have to) that Gaz pulled up with a limp arm after a big tackle last week... Might have been the same one he fractured last year. Target it.

    We will lose by 8 goals.

    Surely it will be a lot closer than that.

    I've tipped the W. I saw enough last week to think we can roll them on our home ground. But either way I think it will be close.

    Gold Coast are similar to Carlton and us in that they haven't been fantastic in terms of scoring power, if we make it a tough contest it will be close, they also had 22 marks inside 50 against them last week, if that happens again Dawes, Frawley and Dunn will get the job done for us.

    I said last week that we would lose to Carlton by 45 points.

    So this week i'm saying we will lose to Gold Coast by 45 points.

    Lol! Like.

    Jones will be all over Gaz. ... did a great tagging job last week whilst getting plenty himself.

    It's worth noting that Gaz is a different beast to Marc Murphy.

    Consistent. Mindless, but consistent. :)

    Gee I hope the Fitzpatrick inclusion doesn't mean Dawes could be a late out.

    Clisby very, very stiff

    Good chance Jetta is primed to play - doesn't seem necessary to upgrade him otherwise.

  • Quote

    So we can assume Jetta has been elevated to the senior list?

    I think Spencer might be a bit sore, not Dawesy.

    Hopefully no change. Although I'd like to see Jetta in.

    Yep... There's even a thread about it ;-)

    Would almost be as significant. God help us if Fitzpatrick rucks a full game

    It seems to becoming much more competitive for places which is healthy.

    Reckon JKH may be rested for Jetta.

    Rested? As if being the sub three weeks in a row wasn't enough rest?

    • 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?
