    Compare the pair. We know plus or minus a player or two who will be in our 2018 Preliminary Final Team. Here's the team from 30 years ago including a number of stars but also some players I don't even remember (Bret Bailey?). I think the 2018 team would have the 1988 team covered (which is a huge compliment to John Northey for getting them into the GF).

    Word on Perth radio is that Lycett might not get up. Couldn't participate in their main session on the weekend.

     Could be mind games to mess with our defensive set up too

    That would be massive. We need every advantage we can get.

    The 87 team made a prelim and followed it up with a GF appearance in 88 so they weren't too bad.

    A few similarities in the sense that both teams didn't have the greatest of home and way seasons. In '88 we started like a house on fire as I recall then had a mid season slump... (won 7 out of the first 8 and then 6 out of the next 14).

    Northey was on the radio the other day and like many here say the 1990 premiership was ours to win.

    Wow, that team was so inexperienced.  The average games played would lucky to be over 50.

    The only change I would be tempted to make would be

    Out: Tyson

    In: Hunt

    West coast have two very quick small forwards. The length of the ground and the ability to switch with pace. Hunt looked ok for Casey in conditions that were terrible. I would take a risk.

    SEN reported Max trained indoors today ?

    ...Club said he will be going to Perth with the team...

    tempted for J Smith for Tyson but gotta keep the team feel running

     

    Smith is a part of the year's successes - therefore, a team member with a full deck of cards. He is more potent than Tyson. Therefore, Smith in, Tyson issued a ticket to spectate.

    you'd pick a guy who's been out of form all year and was just 'ok' in the vfl? bit late in year to speculate

    You mean like with Goldsack.

    No change. Stability is great this time of the season. In 2005 Sydney didn't have a change for about 10 weeks.

    no goldsack wasn't out of form, just out of game time like jack viney. goldsack is more of an experienced known quantity too

    having said that, goldsack was still a risk. hunt would be a bigger risk (and i'm a hunt fan)

    Its not the right thread but Im so caught up in the euphoria of success at the minute I ju st wanted to give a shout out to Viney. Hasnt played for half a season and plays wonderfully.

    As far as changes maybe Vince for Tyson but I dont think it will happen.

    Go you good demons.

    • 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.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      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?
