    @Return to Glory, missing our Grand Final pilgrimage this year. Nevertheless, having a beer now and soaking up all the pre-game coverage - hoping I’ll make it to the opening bounce!! Go Dees!! Next year at the G.

    Have medical subs been confirmed? 

    7 news said it was Jordon on Thursday night, but it doesn’t get picked until an hour before the game I thought…

     

    Watching the all blacks first.   Then the man event

    They just showed the players out on the ground. Hunty is there. Could he be the sub after all?

    And just in case we needed another omen, US Ryder Cup team (favorites) fixed up Europeans on the first day. What were they wearing? RED AND BLUE STRIPES!

    Ugh the storm are currently losing. I've switched over to the 7 coverage. Boys are currently out on the field. 

    Oh it's nearly game time. 

    Well done all you Non Dee Perthites for a projected full stadium and more so if they support us. Great to have a crowd and a reasonably big one at that.

    You'd expect that we'd need at least one emergency other than the sub to warm up, in case of a late emergency, so even if Jordon is the sub, Hunt would have to be ready just in case.

    Jon Ralph just confirmed on Fox Footy that Michael Hibberd will sign a new 1 year deal.

    Thanks Dazzle. I've always been a big fan. Always hard at it. Great decision maker and works exceptionally hard. Provides a good physical presence  and despite age and size is reasonable quick.Totally locked down a few classy players including dusty.

    Came in late this season and immediately had a big impact. Yes dropped off a little towards the end of season but hugely instrumental in setting up our early domination and I'm wrapped he's been rewarded with an extension.

    Less than 2 hours to go!

    I don't know what else to do. I've done some baking, swept, had a drink, cleaned the kitchen, had a drink, swept again (first effort bad or the little man is eating something crumbly that I didn't give him), and reorganised the pantry. I even reformatted an old piece of junk laptop. Oh, there was another drink in there somewhere.

    What the hell am I supposed to do now?

    [censored] me it’s like someone’s died at my place, going to have to put on some music and liven things up. 
     

    Never again this late….

    • 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.

      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.
