I hope this isn’t the Last time we play on the MCG this year

Something tells me this might be the case SWYL. I hope the situation in Melb can get better for all the diehards who have shed blood, sweat and tears for this club.

    Couple of things can come from this game.

    1. Take back top spot and go into next week with more confidence, with 3 on the trot.

    2. More touch for our forward half connection. I expect Fritsch to get on the end of a few today. 

    3. Oliver's game vis a vis the Coaches Votes/Brownlow.

    May out and Smith in.  I wonder how early in the week Smith knew?  Good chance to give May a rest, and to see where Smith fits in.  I reckon Petty steps into the May role, and smith plays more of a hybrid hunt/petty role.  A good chance for all in such glorious conditions.

    Today feels like a nothing game. We don't have to win, we just have to beat Geelong to finish 2nd or even top if port goes down the the Dogs. . 

     

    doesn't seem to be on ch7 in melb

    anyone have any more info (other than fox/kayo)? 

    If Joel Smith leaks less than 3 goals, that’s a win. I hope he makes me eat my hat.

    Seven are doing the later game. 

    No worries about giving Maysie a rest. I'm actually surprised a few other guys weren't "managed".....particularly a couple of the younger guys.

    Probably be good for the younger guys to get a good run at the ‘G.

    As long as it is just a well earnt rest and nothing more serious because no doubt that without May we cannot win a flag. 

    No May and no Tmac. Definitely not confident. 


    Good call resting May. We have Cats and first final coming up over a 7-8 day period and he’ll be cherry ripe

    The over confidence of some on here who just never learn brings on my MFCSS severely.

    We have seen over and over this season if you are off your game, you can get rolled easily.

    I will take a one point win as long as we don’t cop any injuries. 
    Starting to cop a few and it’s a real worry. 

    Could be a bit in and out of this game at the start, a friend had a bad accident at work last week and ended up in hospital. We're finally allowed to talk with him on the phone so game on in the background and thread open :)

    Don’t understand why Weid didn’t get a run. Right weather and down a couple of key position players.

    Other than 'yuk', this has a touch of Shakespeare about it

    Think his papers are stamped unfortunately for him.

    Comments by supporters on a website have absolutely no bearing on how the team performs.

    Which is the main thing.
    More important than anything we need to go in with a fit list.

    • 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?
