There won't be if the Lions win by 6

(Goals).

lol, very nice.

There's nothing wrong with anticipating one thing and hoping for the other.

In fact as Melbourne supporters, I'd guess that we're all pretty familiar with this particular mindset.

    I feel much more comfortable as a Dees supporter when I'm expecting we lose.

    I'd like to see Viney run with Hanley. That will be a big test as Hanley doesn't stop running.

    Also, Vince to Rockliff. Cross to Beams.

    I don't think Jack made him cry, I think it was something else he wanted to do to Jack!

    Rockliff had 14 touches. For some perspective, that's his lowest possession tally since Round 9 2011 where he also had 14. Round 6 2010 was the last time he had less. Not only did Viney negate his impact, he was able to get 23 touches himself. We're not talking about a Simon Godfrey tagger here, we're talking about one that do damage the other way. I'd be shocked if he didn't get maximum votes in the Coaches award.

    These midfield guns should be thinking if we can't beat him (Viney), maybe we should join him!

    Also if we could get a gif of Gawn flattening Robinson and have it on a continual loop, pinned to the top of the boards, that would be swell!

    I think demonology normally post links to youtube uploads on their videos page.

    Opposition midfielders would see him running up to them before the bounce and be like 'oh no, please God, not this little bastard'

    and don't we love him for it

    What stage of the game was it? I might have to go searching on the smart replay

    Replays can be found in Bigpond's AFL videos. The replay usually stays up for a few days after the match.

    I didn't include the Port Adelaide game as he started sub. Sorry if it looks a little out of whack. Pretty much has broke even or beaten his opponent.

    He's kept some known accumulators down to very low possession counts. I wonder if they are season lows in most instances.

  • Quote

    Turning into a gun of a footballer. I really like the unsociable side to his game - heckling Williams and Swan with a minute or so left in the game. He's really doing his bit in turning the club's 'soft' culture from earlier years around.

  • Quote

    I need to see it again but it looked as if he had connected with marley today he might be having a couple week spell.

    Could he be in trouble with the sling tackle?

    I don't think so. Pendlebury got up and kept playing. Had he been concussed, then Jack would be looking at weeks for sure.

    • 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?
