    Hopefully that means Gawn gets a crack (Jamar and Gawn can alternate between ruck and full forward with Jamar doing about 70% of the rucking).

    A forward line of Dawes, Hogan, Chip, JKH, Howe and Gawn/Jamar would stretch most defences

    Boy George stiff to be named as an omission rather than a rest /injury.

    Probably part of his planning and to give him a bit of a rest at Casey.

    Very confident of a win tomorrow night, predicting 5 goals from watts and Nathan Jones to bounce back hard from a quiet game last week

    The guy has made a great transition from SANFL to AFL despite his "lack of polish" which he makes up for with effort and never-say-die approach.

    It wouldn't be an altogether bad idea to rest his completely for a week - after all I believe he was involved in some sort of "incident" involving concussive head forces last weekend.

    Don't think Frawley will play.

    If he doesn't the in will be interesting. I'd consider Gawn but as a dewy night game I don't know the benefit of Gawn, Pedersen and Dawes all forward. Pedersen back and Dunn or Howe forward would be the way to go but would be destabilizing.

    Wouldn't at all be surprised to see Clisby or Riley instead of the big fella

    Surprised frawley is still named. I'm sure he was in a moon boot on Sunday.

    Did I miss something?

    Turf toe. Sprain ligament. 50:50 according to injury report. But unsighted at training today. So presume they'll have a fitness test at some stage. My intuition is they won't risk him

    I reckon chip will play

    In the worst case scenario of Viney and Chip not being available

    In -

    Colin Garland

    Max Gawn

    Aidan Riley

    Out -

    Alex Georgiou

    Jack VIney (crucified)

    Chip Frawley (injured)

    I seem to recall some other bloke was crucified and then resurrected on the third day. It's happened again.

    • 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.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • 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?
