Maybe that was our bad quarter....here's hoping.

Hope so. We our 60 mins away from discovering if this team is the real deal.

Did the players do it again and talk themselves that they had already won this game

Also, Bugg, you can stand up now and be a total dick again. It worked wonders last week.

Nobody's started a scrap yet and St Kilda tend to fall apart under serious grunt; get the hell into their players and make it dirty! We have nothing to lose.

I just think we're flat. They have all the run.

Worst possible time to play the Saints at Etihad for a home game, with 5.5 days rest.

You could tell from half-way through the first they were tired.

Hard to see us winning this. All our vulnerabilities are exposed in one fell swoop.

Gawn, Viney, McDonald, Watts, Garlett, Kent et al are all well down. Saints want it more.

and frost has taken the day off

Riewoldt has just worked out that we're playing zone defence, so he just puts himself in the "zone" of Jetta, Salem or Jones.

Or Wagner, Salem and Hunt.

Inexperience.

Wouldn't mind betting on Garland back in next week.

Lol's at those sticking it to the first-gamer.

Who's sticking it to a first gamer? People are giving their opinion on a player most people have probably never seen live before. It's only natural.

We are complacent on and off the field this week. 

So risky playing Wagner Hunt and Harmes down back. No experience and running out of legs. I mean I know everyone on here hates them and they're unfashionable, but we have two seasoned defenders in the VFL in Garland and Grimes. At least they'll give a defensive contest and won't run out of steam at half time. 

Add to this Petracca who isn't even ready and was pushed ahead of guys like ANB who has been smashing the door down at Casey. 

I thought we were done with this [censored] development mode and that we are now trying to win games. I hope like hell that we start winning the clearances or we are truly [censored].

Just now, leave it to deever said:

feel sorry for hogan, jones and bernie

We're not really. They dominated that quarter. Shouald be 5-6 goals down.

Ignore the scoreline, we're cooked. We have no energy and it won't magically appear after halftime.

We needed more changes than just Brayshaw with so many in-form players in the twos knocking on the door. Adding a 0 gamer to an already green team was comfortably risky and borderline stupid after a 5.5 day break.

I actually believe the Petracca selection was more about trying to get a bigger crowd than smashing the door down at Casey...

I stated previously that I believe he should've been held back until our MCG home game against the Bullfrogs

True. Just think we're flat and they play the ground too well.

We were only on top because we won every clearance. The likelihood of that happening for the next half is low.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
