Isn't it a pity you can't post stone tablets   although yr post is a good facsimile 

No idea what your point is Santa...

 

Things I'll be watching closely -

- Tom McDonald's kicking

- Jack Watts' intensity

- Clayton Oliver (just in general since its my first look at him)

- Dom Tyson's form, remembering his 2014 standard

- The extent that St Kilda rely on their older guys

- Trying to spot even a single St Kilda player I'd want for supercoach. Weird, I can find heaps of Demons ^_^

Supercoach note

When we win it will make it two games in a row at EddieHurd, and four in a row overall. Let's hope the press don't read too much into this and blow out our odds.

Changed the image SWYL   gone all trendy now beard has waxed ends on moustache    having pre game breakfast at Arcadia in Gertrude St     perhaps a bit too clever with comment     God has sent a commandment down the mountain?     back on topic   if we match the effort intensity and competitiveness from last two games it may lead to win   agree on no injury missive though

You're being too hard on yourself Satyriconhome. I don't think anybody is going to accuse you of being clever.

Actually going for King George V   getting the growth to trim back

 

While a win is important, one only has to look back to NAB 3 last year when we lost to a bunch of fill ins and then responded with a round 1 win.

Having said the they're at full strength and we're missing 5 or 6 from our best 22, so a win would be a good confidence booster.

I'm afraid my cleverness has been acknowledged publicly and not from behind the safety of a keyboard

Victory and no injuries thankyou

That is all...

victory got absolutely smashed last night, wyl

No ANB is a bit of a disappointment. If Stretch and a couple of others had a hit out yesterday, he may come in. Or Hulett?

George the V is going back a long way

The once a year wash was a highlight...

As in a cleverness award? Brilliant.

T'was a better time when men knew their place - there were the butlers and the buttlees.

And an oversupply of spinster flappers up for a jolly good round of twining yarn in the dark.

This is the game day thread right?

I believe so.  You wouldn't know it to glance at it though.

What would be a decent crowd number at the game? 

doubt many decent people will bother to turn up, but you never know

Don't know ET, but whatever it is it will be about 70% Stk fans...sigh

Our fans won't come back to watch games until we start winning in the season proper.  Its mainly die hard fans who pay attention to off-season training and NAB games.

And, its a long weekend...our non-diehard fans will be holidaying somewhere!

Need to break this St kilda hoodoo.

Our last win in 2006 and first loss in 2007 ... I see them as the start of the black hole we have been sucked into for the past 10 years ...infuriating we haven't even beaten them in the roos era

Mentally as a club we need to break this hoodoo sooner rather than later...today would be a great start imo 

Then comes North Melbourne.....

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
