Amazing how the club is saying that a defender is still high on our priority list...

    Interesting. The permanent replacement for OMac?

    He will be 28 at the beginning of next year.  Ha, ha - the club must think we are in premiership mode!!.

    We would only chase another tall defender if they were concerned about Lever long term which I doubt.  The article talks about May going forward so maybe they are concerned about TMac's foot. 

    If we want a fwd I we should go after a genuine forward rather than turn a key defender into a forward.

    Adelaide will want our first round pick and they know we will cave in.

    Walk away.

    Good move. If we can keep other teams to less than 5 goals, we are a good chance to win 10 -11 games. Enough to sneak into the 8 some years!

    True. But we might be good next year. Who knows. 

    At least we didn’t trade our first round pick this year and we can console ourselves with a decent player come the end of the year.

    Yes, assuming we get the pick right ?

    I hope we pick a slow inside mid with suspect kicking. It’s the missing piece of our puzzle.

    First it was Midfielders midfielders midfielders, lately it’s been Defenders, defenders, defenders.

    Our biggest hole?

    Forwards!!!   FFS

    Can’t kick goals for love nor money so let’s go get another defender. 

    Fantastic idea.

    For my own sanity I’m putting this article down to Keath’s manager pump-priming his client in negotiations with Adelaide.

    Would have thought a forward would be more on the agenda but apparently not. B: LEVER, MAY, JETTA

    HB: HIBBERD, KEATH, HORE not bad.

    it would seem absurd if we pick up keath

    he's having an enormous year, but why oh why would we get ANOTHER tall key defender

    In the last year of his contract?

    This has to be BS

    unless we trade o Mac and frost for him, no deal

    If this is true I hope Pert gets the review under way and makes appropriate changes to the FD before a dumb trade is made.

    Has Keath suddenly become a six foot line-breaking speedster with elite precision kicking?

    • 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?
