Way too hot for a scarf tonight surely! 

It's a lovely balmy but cool 22 right now as we walk through Richmond to the G!

Melksham sub

JVR not kitted up, but looked like he was limping off the ground

Did he play VFL today?


On my way in, missed these butterflies.

    Looks windy out there flags whipping around…hopefully doesn’t help their giant forward line

     

    If we lose tonight, then One of the two premiership favourites will be 0-2 by the end of the next week. To make matters worse both Bris and Melb face other top 4 prospects in round 3 in the Dogs and Swans respectively. 
     

    With almost 20min to go - such a disappointing crowd -  looks tiny -  MCC members you can sit where you like


    I  decided to drive to the G and got a parking spot. Unfortunately after entering the ground I discovered that the entire first level in the northern stand is now reserved seating. I have been sitting in that area since 1960. There is nothing as constant as change. I got to chose between behind the goals or southern stand wing, wing won! Too many members!!!!!!.

    Very windy. Heat has died down. Now it’s just humid.

    The average crowd since 1990 is 31,000 for a Dogs V Dees game at the MCG.

    I wouldn’t be expecting more than 40k tonight.

    The bars were packed in the Olympic stand. Ppl finding their way to their seats now. Sparse in AFL members and Ponsford top decks though.

    It’ll double in the next 20 as people sit in bars and are either in the line trying to get in.

    Admittedly a little envious of DL fraternity in situ at the ‘G. But just arrived at Terminal 21 after the road trip from the periphery. In good time to view the game. Wishing all fellow Demonlanders a great evening. Will  hopefully be celebrating a hard fought victory with the local brew. 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?
