Give Lewis his 300th game this week and retire him.

Start getting some games into the players

on the fringe in the next 5 weeks to see what we have for next year.

    Lewis is not going to play in a Premiership at this Football Club, 300 games well done great career and join the coaching team.

    Nice, Sweet, efficient move on to 2019, 2018 a complete waste of everyones time and energy.

    lewis is clearly still best 22

    Terrible comment. 

    We are playing the next 5 weeks to play finals, not worry about next year.

    Exactly. We aren't a bottom four side that needs to blood the kids. We had a set back last night but we are still right in the frame to play finals.

    Whaaaaat?

    Anything other than maximum focus on winning every game is madness. Lewis has had some less than stellar games this year but is overall a pretty good contributor who is in the current best 22, particularly with the injuries we have.

    Are people really already sooking their way out of trying for the rest of the year? More comfortable to fail if you just say 'oh, never mind, there was never a chance anyway'? I mean, I'm a pathetic loser myself in most things, but to wish it upon your football club is just bad form.

    Not trying to win every game this year would be 'loser mentality'. We have to be better than this now. We may not win enough games to make it this year but we do have the ability if things go right.

    In 2019 I will do something I haven’t done before.

    put on some decent size bets on demons for the premiership, top4 and top8 and no13 to win the Brownlow.

    Forget 2019.    We are going to make the finals this season, and we are going to win a final.

    Its going to be glorious.

    Watching Footy Classified tonight I nearly fell of my chair when they mentioned the AFL are considering giving out three priority picks this season Carlton, Gold Coast and St Kilda. No words could describe how [censored] I will be if any of them get a priority pick let alone all three.

    For real?? St Kilda??? Did they give reasons and what they are basing this on?

    From 2012-2017 Saints have won 50 games and we have won 39.

    Caro said that the AFL feel the Saints list is in worse shape than Carlton’s. Which to be fair it probably is. But all we were told when we were rubbish was get your culture right put the right people in place you shouldn’t get rewarded for your own mistakes. It’s absolute hypocrisy, but I guess that is the AFL.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
