The AFL seem desperate to promote Carlton:

  • The easiest 'double up' games possible:  Collingwood, Melbourne, St Kilda, Gold Coast, Greater Western Sydney, West Coast.

 

We're an easy double-up game?  Plus Collingwood?

    But why not alternate the Eagles and Dockers?

    With the Eagles putrid next season, isn't it better to play the weaker team over there?

    Process of elimination for those wanting to book to go to Alice Springs for the Dees vs Giants game. 

    Gold Coast are playing Adelaide on Saturday June 3rd in Round 12. 

    Currently we are only listed as playing the Giants in Round 16 with no set date. Round 16 should be on the weekend on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd of July.

    Those aren't but the other 4 are almost 'gimmes'!

    So overall it is about the easiest double ups of all.

    People expected West Coast to be easy beats like last year are in for a shock.

    They could barely field a team for the first half of the year and then tanked the rest

    Has anyone received an email from the club advising of the code needed to buy tickets for the Gather Round game against Essendon?

    Tickets are supposedly going on sale 12:30 today.

    Perhaps - but i'm glad we are playing the hawks and Roos twice, which the blues aren't.

    The blues double up games are Collingwood, Melbourne, St Kilda, Gold Coast, Greater Western Sydney, West Coast.

    The pies and the dees are very tough double ups.

    And of the others i reckon only west Coast is in the chalk up a win category.

    The Giants are next weakest, but still have a reasonable list and might be tougher to beat than their finish to last season suggests. 

    St Kilda are not likely to be easy beats, and i reckon the Suns are on the rise (pardon the pun)

    We play Perth better than the MCG!

    My query was more about trying to understand why rather than being too worried about it.

    Easy beats, maybe not, but they are going to be a bottom 8 team. Their list profile is awful with most of their best players past 30. 

    Hurn 35, Shuey 32, Gaff 30, Darling 30, Naitanui 32, McGovern 30, Cripps 30 and an injury prone Yeo at 29.

    Kelly is more or less a sole hand in the midfield with Shuey playing as a 33yr old and having injury interrupted seasons 3 years running. They may remain competative with McGovern and Barass holding their backline together with a geriatric Hurn while also having the benefit of a home ground advantage.

    West Coast went all in for Kelly to have a shot at another flag which they are now paying the price for. They have only just started to heavily recruit youth in the past 2 seasons after years of having a poor draft hand, while their 2018, '19 and '20 drafts have given them next to no returns. Make no mistake, they are at the start if their rebuild and recruiting the likes of Hunt and Petrevski-Seaton isn't going to mitigate that.

    I cannot believe that in the period 1990-2023 which is 34 years we missed playing there only 9 times whilst Collingwood played there 3 times in that period so they missed 31 times.

    I would not only ask a question I would tell the AFL they have to fix the imbalance.

    My view on Kardinia Park is this... the more our current list plays there the better equiped they will be to win there!

    • 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?
