    Co-signed.

    The options are: Caris, Magee, Brown, Petrevski, Tarrant and potential debutants Chaplin, Campbell and Gillard.

    Purcell is definitely looming large to breath some new life into the midfield in a couple of weeks.

    Better news on L.Pearce than I'd expected.

    I hope Mick is more inspiring talking to the players than he is in these videos.

    Good news on Pearce, although she seemed to play out the game.

    It would be nice to get some sort of update on Purcell.

    Hanks is our best player across the first 4 rounds. Huge out

    Suns have improved. We tend to have mid season form losses. This is a definite danger game

    Hanks and Gay are huge losses. Heath and Mithen should take their spots in the middle.

    Hanks is a huge out been our best player. Can't be replaced suddenly our midfield looks ordinary.

  • Quote

    Yes, Hanks has had a terrific start to the season and Gay is one of our best tacklers.  These 2 are our best kicks in the team and will be difficult to replace.  

    With Caris back to support L Pearce it means Zanker has no ruck duties and concentrates on being that big bodied midfielder and helps out Paxy.  

    S Scott has had a real quiet start to the season so hoping this week she can provide some influence.  

    Choko Williams was at training during the week so hopefully his positive influence rubs off on the girls kicking.  

    Gold Coast are young and fast and won their past 2 games.   It may be close today but at our fortress Casey Fields we have the advantage.  Go Dees!

    • 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?
