Every week the Media likes to paint the season on the line picture with us. Fact is we’ve dug ourselves a hole so every game matters now. I’m not expecting a miracle today, but I am hopefull the Baker will show something to give us a bit of something different.

Still hope Oskar Baker is comfortable at the level cause we are desperate for speed and run.

At least the 6:30 news will be long done before the game is ;)

    I note that the Casey game is 2pm Sat.  Emergencies can hop on the late night flight and suit up for Casey.

    I re-watched the first half “highlights” of the PF. There’s no way that’s going to happen again. The amount of shocking turn-overs in the middle of the ground streaming forward was like a once in a blue moon sort of perfect storm scenario. Also Lewis single handedly contributed to three of their goals in the back half with some of the worst lazy, loopy handballs you’ll ever see. Luckily he’s not out there tonight.

    We might lose, but it won’t be a horror show like that. 

    You rewatched the first half of the PF?!?!

    did you give yourself 50 lashes after??

    ?

    Interesting to see that The Age have not listed which clowns will be officiating tonight. I would hazard a guess that Western Australian umpires 6, 7, or 22 would be every chance. We will see.

    Two West Australians. Margetts and Dalgleish. Fisher is the ex St Kilda player.

    No rain forecast that I can see. Radar is clear.  

    We need a miracle tonight!

    I've been a fan of Oskar Baker at Casey so I'm looking forward to seeing him play tonight, go Dees!

    Being an MFC supporter, hope always plays a greater part than logic or form. 

    We are facing the reigning premiers on a ground where our last performance was ( I wish) forgettable . Further, we have an injury list which would make a half decent footy team.

    Despite all that, I'm hoping for a memorable victory.

    I reckon Pruess is a bit stiff but obviously we've gone for dash rather than bash. I hope that works.

    To prove that my hope is alive and well, I've kept off the Shiraz until just now - In the hope that I'll be conscious and capable of further celebrating our win for the ages.

    Hope is a great concept.

    Just witnessed a middle-aged man in a west coast jumper slip over whilst walking over the bridge to the stadium. He landed on his guts as if he was about to go down a slip and slide. It’s a sign.

    That’s probably more like it. Oh well, I’ve already had my win for tonight seeing that.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
