Lets be honest....How many of us thought we would be 3 zip after that pre season dogs game and our 2 key forwards out?

Whats changed?

 

 

It seems that the players are prepared to back and show confidence in each other, and make second, third and fourth efforts (Kosi in particular). 
Improved kicking for goal however remains elusive.

I know Richmond were poor on the weekend but imagine if they were missing Lynch and riewoldt. Cant wait to see Brown and Weid back. Esoecially an open fwd line with Kozzie hanging around it. ?


Just putting it out there that I think we're going to either win the flag, or only make finals but not win the flag, or miss finals and/or sack Goodwin.

wrong thread

Well, I tipped us for the premiership in the season predictions so at this stage I can feel a little smug.

At the same time, I think we're still well below that level and there will be a few stumbles to come before we really click later in the season and go berserk. Just makes getting the three 'should win' games done properly all the more important.

As my brother pointed out; "That's three games in a row that traditionally Melbourne would have screwed up."

I think there is much more self belief amongst the players.

Dees of old would have folded against a gws start like that. 


I said it on here somewhere before Round 1.

Did you also know we'd be 6 and zip and keep that to yourself as well?

Probably did. @Adiós; insightful AND discrete.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    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?
