    A bit disappointing..

    I don't see this side as being one to go deep into the Finals

    On paper it's our easiest game

    Oh well

    I don't have any major issues with 'no change', we didn't lose last week because the team isn't right (as such), we lost because we missed a few we should have slotted (and probably would have most other days). 13-11 is not a terrible day at the office. And the Pies were having a day in front of goal they likely can't replicate, and got the rub of a few frees they shouldn't have. I will add, I'd have liked to see Harmes get a game, maybe at the expense of Jordon who has not looked right, but I guess the faith is being shown in Jordon and the likes of ANB getting the job done. 

    I reckon the boys now have additional fire in the belly from the loss to the Pies, and will look to atone bigtime against Carlton. 

    On the topic of JVR, what's the point of bringing in someone underdeveloped, who will most likely suffer from the same issues plaguing most forwards in our team - poor delivery/bombs i50 etc. I don't think many forwards would survive with our current approach. If we work on our delivery, we might just find Brown, Fritter and the rest in better positions to score (aside from Gawn - his misses have generally had little to do with delivery). JVR would almost be set up to fail, and there'd be a loud contingent of people calling for his premature exit. Nah, let's get him right, but specially our delivery and approach.

    We've got this. Pound for pound, we demolish the Blues. 

    Let's just get it done, then tear the Lions a new one.

    No harmes, no foul.

    Does that mean naked lap around the G?

    Will look out for Peter Hichener’s report of the arrest of “binman” pre game at the G.

    Don't mind

    We are all very frustrated about last week but we lost by 8 points to a team on a 10 game streak. Let's back em in to again and get it done right this time.

    Not that outrageous I guess, should have won last week - this lot should get the job done this week.

    Had a look at the facebook comments, saw negative comments about the following being named

    Hunt, JJ, Pig, Milkshake, Brown, Nibbler, ANB, Spargo. 

    People are angry, it has been too long since our last flag!

    • 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?
