Just a bit of banter with me and Wiseblood in the Changes v North thread. Page 6 somewhere.

    Was that a question?  Harmes surely is the only answer to the question.

    No Sniper Harvey may help too.......though I have always been very wary of posts here making good news of missing opposition players.  They always put out 22, 22 who we have to beat.

    The '87 first final springs to mind.   Something like a 15 goal win in the wet by a team playing their first final in about 22 years. ?????

    I was there!!!

    I hope Titus sends a few royalty cheques your way.  It's the least he could do!

    I love Titus. After the win v  st kilda he made a comment along the following lines - "Cop that Saints. No one beats the Demons 15 times in a row."

    It was a pretty obvious joke, we'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, love your work Titus, I know you're reading (taking notes).

    My mates refer to Waite as a sanitary item, in for one week and out for three.

    Melksham, ANB, Harmes in, no outs. A no change extended bench if ever I've seen one.

    Agreed, no change

    Would it be worthwhile putting on Vince on Higgins who is their best player IMO.

    Higgins, Goldstein and Waite (and maybe Ben Brown)  could have a massive bearing on this match.

    How did you come up with that, Steve?  Both are named on the extended interchange bench which doesn't give a whole lot away.  I'd wager that if Hunt is right to go we may go in with no change.

    The interchange bench is listed in numerical order. It doesn't mean necessarily that Melksham gets a gig - if that's where you're coming from.

    Isn't there a bit of a form line that the first 4 names are usually the ins?

    Not to my knowledge.  In this case the interchange bench for both sides has been listed in numerical order.

    Except Norf. Perhaps that will be the punchline on Monday "nobody beats the demons 16 times in a row either"

    I was there too ... I suspect Buckenara would have kicked the goal even without the 15 metre penalty. And even if we made the GF we would have been thumped by Carlton anyway ...

    Feel good about this game aside from their tall fwds. If we don't dominate the midfield they will kick long to brown and Waite. Could be troublesome.

    No, I'm not Titus. But he's the second wittiest bloke I "know".

    My mate who grew up in Tongala on a dairy farm, used to sneak up on cows and bump into them....they went down like skittles

     

    I thought Jack Viney grew up in Echuca?

    Harmes for Weideman

    That was the preliminary final you're talking about,  not the "first" final that monoccular was referring to.

    I know that the announced team line up doesn't mean a lot but showing Tom Mc as the ruckman will give Brad Scott something to mull over or lose sleep over :)

    Unpredictability is one of our greatest weapons right now. 

    Great to see that Hunt is well enough to play (altho he could still be a late out).

    Well let us hope the unpredictability extends to winning when we are favorites

  • Quote

    I'm tipping no change but if there's going to be one, it might be Melksham for Wagner.

    This game, like almost all of the remaining 14 games this year, comes down almost entirely to us. If we play at our best, we will win. Last week showed that our best is good enough to beat any opponent, anywhere. However, if we don't play out our best, North is good enough to beat us. 

    Would dearly love to have a dominant first quarter, kill some nerves off, get a nice lead going, and get a confident feeling that we've come with the right mindset against our last remaining "bogey team".

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
