Daniel Rich has left the field in the hands of trainers with a suspected ankle injury. 

I thought Fox people said shin. Not wishing ill on anyone but hope he misses next week.

    I haven't seen any of the Saints vs Brisbane game aside from the final margin. If anyone was watching, how did the Lions look?

    That is true. Poor disposal though.

    Lions will shock a few times this year. Bookmark it.

    St Kilda is uninspiring.

    I don’t think it matters who we play anymore if we are not on our A game we will get beat, the comp is too tight now

    Brisbane should’ve beaten the saints. The amount of forward 50 attacking/entry poor turnovers by the lions gave the saints the game. Apart from that we’re pretty good.

    If Rich is out, that's a big plus for us. He didn't look real happy sitting on the pine. C'est la vie  !!!!

    Brisbane looked good for 80% of the game.

    Saints worked very hard to pull away towards the end and the score difference wasn't a true reflection of the game.

    They won't be a push over next week.

    Their starting midfield bullocks well but they lacked run from half back and their kids tire quickly each quarter.

    I watch most of the game on TV so this may be flawed analysis but I thought they exhibited all the signs of a good young side - best and worst is miles apart

    Like all young teams they have 10 to 15 minute patches where they lose concentration and switch off. We were very similar in 2016 and even for patches of 2017.

    I think our ball movement will be far too slick for them next week. They don't move it quick enough either. Hipwood was hopeless too, which helped St Kilda's cause, while St Kilda's chipping game in defensive 50 helped Brisbane press early. I don't think we'll give Brisbane that ability.

    They don’t fall asleep in a game for as long as we do nor do they take teams easy as we will. It’s not a danger game for us, we need to play out of our skins to get close to them

    They were smashing St.Kilda in the stoppages for 3 quarters

    How will everyone feel about our season when we are 0-2?

    Wrist slashing time methinks.

    On the contrary, we're probably a more suited team to being 0-2 than 2-0, Could wake us up a little and shape our attitude and determination to get back up the ladder. I'll settle for a win though :laugh:

    Interesting, and probably correct.

    I will try and take a positive approach. The Melb-Geel game was of a much higher standard than the saints-brissy game. Keep the pressure on them and they will turn it over much more than we do.

    Ran rings around us last year at the G. A real danger match. Fagen has adoptated clarksons keepings off style which we struggle against.

    Trouble is they don't have the skills to execute it properly yet.

    Yes, that game cost us finals in my opinion.

    We had a 5 goal lead and they came back and almost stole the game.  If we had maintained that lead or extended it we likely would not have had to worry about the Eagles catching us on % even after losing to the Pies.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
