They're taking it easy and winning by 22 points.

Just get the win and no injuries and I'll be happy.

Hope you're right.

Last match against Crows, we were 16 points up with a few minutes to go .... then lost.

    What does Angus Brayshaw add to our team?

    In the position he is playing, zilch. But what if a mid goes down during the game? He’s good cover for that purpose.

     

    Back at the 'G next Sat according to Tom Morris ?? (forget his name)

    Running at 3/4 pace today. Understandable given the past couple of weeks. Just do enough to win.

    Not sure playing at the G in finals is all that much of an advantage to us. It's not like we dominate there

    That can’t be right, it’s their home game.

    Assume the venue against the Cats was a typo. No reason to move it

    We play better at Doglands.

    That’s it. This is a dead rubber. We just need to get through it

    The whole side has been in quarantine and Aeroplanes lately

    Prediction 8 goal quarter to the Dees this quarter

    I feel like it’d be a great idea to have 2 game day threads. One negative, one positive. I drifted in here at half time and feel like I missed the part where we are 12 goals down.

    🤷‍♂️

    I think the mandate today was just get it done.

    No need for a smashing.

    Kinda shows but at least we are getting it done.

    Also taxed after monday.

    Gus needs to do more as does kozzie.

    May be due to Sydney v Gold Coast needing a venue.

    Playing in 18 degree heat in August off 5 day turnaround after a red eye from Perth doesn’t help.

    Boys looked stuffed on the HT siren

    Time to put the pedal down a la Brisbane yesterday.

    The last quarter for the last two matches haven't been stellar

     

    Bravery from Smith!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
