I love the attitude... [censored] picks. I just want wins, if that means 9th place finish with pick 10 as apposed to a pick 3 I really don't care. We can just draft another Christian Salem rather than a toumpassĀ 

Absolutely. We need more than anything else to establish a cultureĀ of winning.

We have had 55 years of not winning. Done that.

I would love it if we win enough game toĀ make 9th.

I look forward to the posts on DL bemoaning the crows and WC losses.Ā 

Look at our last effort to bottom out. Netted us money bags, trenners and the toump (sounds like a bad SA breakfast radio slot). All gone.

Win. Win. Win. i for one have watched enough bloody losses by my team.

    Not sure if many follow the NHL around here, but here is an optimistic story for every Demonlander.

    The St. Louis Blues were dead last in the NHL on January 3rd this year (that's 31 teams).Ā This was around the halfway mark of the season. They then went on a huge run, made it into the playoffsĀ and are now one game away from winning the Stanley Cup (series lead 3-2).

    Maybe we shouldn't give up just yet?

    Also [censored] the Bruins

    Did Lever get through todays training session??


    Man it is exciting having May and Lever in the 18.Ā 

    JKH bit stiff to miss out but he did butcher the ball. Hannan was more deserving of the chop but stays in for positional need and as he is a better player

    INT: Spargo - HibberdĀ  -Stretch - Preuss - Weed - ANB - Garlett - Wagner

    My guess: Hibberd, Weed, Garlett, ANB

    out Wagner, Spargo, Stretch, WagnerĀ 

    Contrary to popular opinion I don't agree with everything this FD does, I'm struggling to justify the Lever selection.Ā  If he doesn't get seriously re-injured then I guess they're vindicated.

    I like the ins. Would be happy to see Hore, Salem and may or lever back. Not sure if we should play both lever and may due to match conditioning.Ā 

    Im just happy that we no longer have to hear about Jack watts and his debut game and hear the pies people say it's our grand final.Ā 

    Ā 

    Ā 

    I know that teams rarely line up as selected but I do like Salem and Baker on the wings.Ā  Both have nice kicks, have composure and aim at targets rather random bombs.Ā 

    And add Fristch as the attacking defender and we should see a marked improvement in delivery i50 from all three.

    Agree 100%. I hated the tanking year then and still do. That Richmond game Is in my top 3 of the worst games I have witnessed. Win as many as possible and worry about the rest in September.Ā

    Have you seen the video of Lever's rehab in the USA?

    It made me cringe when I was watching the amount of force and twisting and turning he was putting on his knee - and that was in January!

    Not sure if the link works but that's great that the boys will be leading melbourne out. I did think it was something the club should do, it's only a small think but it could give the boys just a little lift. I thought it could be done at a home game, not sure why but queens birthday is pretty special though.Ā

    Settle down.Ā 

    Just down at Rye for the weekend and every second car in a very busy car park at woolies has demons member 2019 stickers on the back. Donā€™t think we we have many at the game come Monday ?

    PS no snow here so not sure what weā€™re all going to do for the weekend? Drink?

    Final bench for mine would be Hibberd, Weideman, Garlett and Spargo.Ā 

    In: Lever, May, Hore, Salem

    Out: Kennedy-Harris, O.McDonald, Stretch, J.Wagner

    Goody may go with Preuss instead of Spargo, but I donā€™t think so.

    Bingo!Ā

    • 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 CampbellĀ with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprenticeĀ Will VerrallĀ 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?
