Looking forward to seeing the match at Coburg next Sunday hopefully after a great win at the G on Sunday.

    In writing this keep in mind I don’t have an eye for the defensive side of the game so a player I think has done very well might have played his role poorly.  Also the opposition was poor.  At times they had a go but really it was a bit like watching the first quarter of the MFC v Saints JLT game.  We played well and dominated and in those circumstances it’s hard to know if the domination is us or them but I was impressed by the general skill level, the commitment and particularly the cohesion of the team play.

    Thanks Voges for the reports.  enjoyable reading.

    Its always good to get others insights, especially when I can't get to games.

    Is there a chance we will never see McKenna play at any level this year? Also I think Vandenburgs time is up which is a pity as I loved watching him play.

    Not yet, He's just got himself back into running outside this week, I think, first in a long time.

    He's had a stress fracture of the Heel.

    Not normally a career-ender, IMO.

    Koby Stevens had this as well back in July 2015, whilst at the Bulldogs.

    I had a chat to Pat at training, was sent to see a hammy specialist in Canberra, back running so now his pre season starts, so 8 to 10 weeks

    Of course like Viney and Tommy Mc one step at a time, has been kept busy by the club

    The coaching staff rate him, just needs to get on the park

    Hopes vanders can get back, I remember one of the early games he played as a mid against the Bulldogs he dominated. Still has a fair bit to offer if he could get himself right.

    Frost surely has to come back in next week, if we play 1 on 1 with Ben Brown our holes will become very enlarged.

    Have to play with a spare a defender against the Roos, the guy has plenty of run and dare.

    So true

    Frost has a role to play in our best 22, when we are playing forward lines that hurt us. We can then use lever as the 3rd tall and play his natural role.

    Looks like we will have Frosty back to play on Ben Brown...........

    Why do people think Frosty will be back to play on Ben Brown.

    Frosty is not a good body on body player and pretty average in the air.

    not to play on Ben Brown specifically but to help out and create some run and overlap we look so slow and ball movement is lethargic.

    We need Frost next week, so Omac can take Brown, Frost to Waite. Lever chipping in.

    But the biggest job will be done by our mids, defensively; and the half forwards.

    Once again the VFL scheduling leaves a lot to be desired.

    With 4 emergencies being required in Brisbane, senior players will wait yet another week for some match practice. It could have been played on Sunday or even Monday.

    Would love to hear how the VFL schedule is integrated into the senior schedule if at all.

    VFL is really a pathetic parody of a “support” competition 

    As #32 Vagg said, it is seriously important for the AFL to get off their backsides and start a reserves competition.

    What a horrible prospect ?

    And we could easily lose too.

    Will next week's team be this:

    B: PETTY, HUTCHINS, WHITE

    HB: J.WAGNER, KEILTY, J.SMITH

    C: C.WAGNER, MAYNARD, STRETCH

    HF: BALIC, T.SMITH, BUGG

    F: SCOTT, WEIDEMAN, LEFAU

    FOLL: KING, SALEM, KENNEDY HARRIS

    IC: GENT, MUNRO, BAKER, SPARGO, UNDER 21 PLAYER

    HANNAN SENIOR EMERGENCY

    It looks a strong side a premiership winning side in fact.

    • 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.

      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?
