Yeah, was more referring to where someone said they had the group cheer in the middle similar to when it's announced someone will debut.

I reckon you're spot on. Good detective work!

    Yeh well I think part of the reason Melk has come in to play that role is because of the trouble we've had with our own key talls either being outmarked or positioned by key defenders so his inclusion was born out of necessity. 

    Harmes is just too vanilla for me. And if he doesn't have a lock down role, I'd much rather us explore a more dynamic mid to take his place at season's end. A player with composure and great ball use. 

    Have you identified the tree this player grows on?

    Gates open at 415 Dub, so I'm guessing the sheilas start shortly thereafter.

    FFS mate. It's not 1973.

    And best of all, $2 pies from 4.15 until the start of the main game. When was the last time you could buy a pie at the footy for $2? Another very good reason to attend. It almost convinced me to book a flight to the G.

    $2 Rat Coffin is a pretty sick deal.

    You occasionally remind me of Range Rover, who was a particularly heinous and nauseating poser on here years ago.

    Ahh good old Rangey..

    I had my suspicion he came back as Olisik, but I think even big O was still kicking around when Rangey was active.

    Surely he's come back under another name?

    It is a worry that Carlton has 4 tall backs against our 1 tall forward ready to take many marks in the last quarter.

    Yes.

    No changes.

    Same old same old.

    But here's hoping this ossified selection comes out and belts the blues ...the team that is.

    Let us show that we are a true finals threat by not just winning, but demolishing Carlton that he game that will become known as the August Massacre.

    I am seriously worried about not winning the gf this year or even being in it and it ain't a flare up of Mfcss.

    I'm not alone. Too many players a fair way off their best.

    This game needs to be won by us by a huge margin.

    We the faithful have been finally rewarded a flag and although won in Perth it doesn't detract or taint any of its glory or merit.

    Buy how wonderful to see us win one on our home ground, so many can go and see it rather than a digital version.

     

    Go Dees.

     

    Enjoy  the game Mr DS and company.

    Can someone give us the consensus view on final teams?

    Casey team article suggests Harmes playing, not sure if that's std or he's actually confirmed?

    Others thought Laurie would debut, potentially in place of Pickett, does that leave Tomlinson as Sub?

    Just a compilation of rumours and Demonland posts...

    Kozzy may miss with a sore knee.

    Chandler and Bedford have COVID.

    Some discussion whether the excited little crowd of players was excited enough to indicate a Laurie debut.

    Then it gets intriguing because if Kozzy was to miss Laurie seems a better replacement than Harmes, but should it be Harmes then you wouldn't think we'd debut Laurie (or JVR) as sub... Which then leaves Tommo as likely sub.

    It's a bit like an episode of Bold and the Beautiful this week...

    • 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?
