I am not so confident.

We are weak up forward and will need Trac and Max to help there.

We also have 2 slow players at the end of their careers, in a game that is now speed based. Hopefully Bowey and Laurie come on to  fix that.

I am however really excited for my boy JJ and hope this is the start of a long career with us. I am also keen to see my other project player  HP return to the side. I think he is much better than most think.

Go Dees. I will be there with my 4 year old grandson, who shares a first name with HP, at his first real footy match and am excited for him to hopefully see a Dees win.

I never said I was confident. On paper this team should win. However I will never trust them to do what they should do.

    Keeping up with the Joneses.

    Its a given Nathan Jones will  acquit himself in a superior fashion to the last Jones to 'grace' the 'G' too many blues.

    Kade Chandler named sub!

    Spargo getting a game on his last weeks terrible performance, says a lot about our options and lack of improvement. Meanwhile Chandler and Bowey miss out

    Shocking selections

    Has Spargo suddenly become a footballer.

    How the hell does spargo get a game, the bloke is lucky to even kick further than 30m

    Correct. More than a big question mark over Jetta as well. We have about 6 players in the side that really are not up to afl standard. Our forward line is a joke. I would pefer to see Hore, Zanker and scott acroos hf than those three. Lets hope McDonald can prove me wrong. Jackson is not ready for FF in any way even on a part time basis. He should do a lot of rucking, especially in second half as that sems to be his strength. Fritch is going to have to play well.

    Jones , Jetta, Tomlinson, Spargo, ANB and TMAC. Give me a break.

    When Spargo is in you have to worry about losing he's a burden to the team.

    His kicks over 35m you can count on one hand.

    He's honestly terrible. I'm sure he's a great bloke but oscar mcdonald would offer more in the forward pocket

    I would play Daw  anyday " I find your lack of faith disturbing" in fact I would have played Majak instead of Spargo easily!

     

     

    Spargo played very well.

    Yes he did. So did Tomlinson. In these circumstances quite happy to be wrong.

      I have already commented on his game which I thought was constructive and contributative. If he keeps doing that then I'll eat my words, however IN MY VIEW  I think he needs to kick 2 goals a game and have more scoring involvements and possesions to continue to justify his place. With players coming back the competetion for places will be enormous. I still would have played Chandler but, as I have said he did play well.

    Looking at the last full season in 2019, Charlie Cameron was the only small forward to average 2 or more goals per game.

    Michael Walters averaged less - is he a dud too?

    You have no idea what you're talking about.

    I should have a go at Spargo more often every time I do he plays well.

    • 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.

      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?
