Sitting at 3-2 we have: saints, Suns away, dogs and bears at home and port in NT

its hard not to get carried away and think we could win all 5. But With a young team we will have some bad days. 

Suns are smashed with injuries again. Dogs and port are missing stars as well. 

Going on the previous 5 rounds we should lose to Brisbane, lose in a close one to the dogs and beat the other 3 ;)

Surely we should be sitting at 6-4 at least by round 10?

am I crazy?? Finals anyone????

    Its great to use the ladder predictor on the AFL website for a bit of fun. I actually have us finishing 8th, with very unbiased selections. 

    Should beat Saints and Lions. Doggies are still tough even with injuries, we're the type of club that plays someone like Port back into form and who knows with the Suns. Finals aren't completely out of the question but we need our young guys to show some consistency!

    Saints are 50-50 (probably worse than that given it's their home ground and we tend to let them get away)

    Suns will beat us even if they do have injuries. 

    The doggies SHOULD beat us, but I have a sneaky feeling their first game at the 'G will show them up. 

    Brisbane are a hard-running attacking outfit, but we should have them at the 'G.

    Port are falling apart.  We have to hope they don't find the magic formula before we get to them. 

    In essence, three from five and I'm pretty happy.  Better than that and I'm ecstatic.

    So long as we beat the 'aints, we will be favourites in 4 out of the 5.

    I feel dizzy.

    • 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.

    • 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?
