I want to start enjoying this thread again.

Freo’s start to the season was a false economy.

They’re a top 8 side that was masquerading as a bottom 4 side.

I can see them replacing Adelaide in the top 8 come seasons end.

    They're really not either...

    Their start was a false economy as is their current form.

    They've beaten bottom or banged up teams.

    They sit somewhere around 9 to 12...anything lower is a bonus for us.

    I suggest we kill 2 birds with the one stone this weekend.

    improve our top 4 chances and improve our chances of a high draft pick.

    Just win this game Dees

    Shouldnt throw rocks in glass houses. Forget about the silly draft picks, we have a season to play out.

    Could be death riding demons if they screw up over the next 4 weeks.  No guarantee we'll even make the 8 .

    We'll know soon enough. We have very few injuries far less than other clubs. Even Port had three key players out .

    Port were missing talls on a wet night. They were probably better without them...so I disagree re "key" We were down Sparrow and Petty...perhaps Brown ( unsure of his status now) We also has Oliver injured in the game and Pertracca at half rat power for the whole game. Plus Fritta on altered training now for months. So...we've def had our fair share of injuries and suspensions in 23. Come Sat we'll be down Oliver and Hunter and unsure of what Trac can do. these are pretty big outs.

    I got an idea. Take a shovel and start shovelling soil over this thread.

    You are wasting your energy.

    We can only blame Goodwins lack of control of a list that should be fighting for top 2 week in and week out. We are our worst enemy.

    Close the stupid thread. 

    They were a 15 win season last year that were 20 points off a prelim.

    As if they were ever going to finish in the bottom 6 this year.

    And credit to Luke Jackson for defeating the much ‘vaunted’ Gawn/Grundy on his own.

    Currently picks 15 (2022), 12 and 30 for Jackson after he beat Gawn and Grundy today.

    Peter Bell would be very pleased with himself

    Adelaide win tomorrow and it's back to thank you Peter Bell for a top 10 pick. 🤣

    • 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?
