Too many sips from the wine cask I fear.

After a knee injury you build up the knee strength not thrash it. 2 games in 5 days, imo as a non doctor of course, would be ridiculous.

I'd be more worried if Uncle wasn't sipping Mr Leg!

And what's wrong with a little 2021 Chateau de Romsey anyway 😀

I'm guessing this is where having the other big boy in Reg probably helps to lessen the load somewhat (for Max) over both weeks?

Also we may end up resting Max that following week as you are suggesting.  I don't see why he can't be managed that way if the oppo is only bringing one genuine ruck.

As Uncle said .... we will soon find out how he pulls up (Max that is... not Uncle!)

    The people that said the doctors wouldn't rush Max if he wasn't 100%, you have been proven correct 🙂

    Just hope he can avoid any repeats, we need the big guy.

    Was this at Adelaide Oval?

    Regardless, I’m sorry your son had to hear that. ☹️ If there is such a person she’s not part of the cheer squad, even if she was in our bay. Foul language is banned. Microphones in the goalposts mean that hefty fines can be issued by the AFL. Besides, she’d be told to cut it out immediately if she was a DA member. 

    Now I know why my application for DA membership was rejected.

     In the past I have rocked up with my general admission membership and been able to get a seat, albeit way up high on level 4.  I just tried upgrading my general admission membership barcode then on ticketek and it doesn't show any available seats.  I am assuming this means all reserve seats have been sold.  BarnDee I may be joining you in the back row of level 4!

    ok thanks dee  if thats the case  na  , way up there is like not being there lol might go to plan B , cheers and go dees

    I realise there is a thing called match hardness that comes through playing. However, if he has been chosen to play against Richmond, I assume the "build up" has beed carried out during rehab/training.

    Anyway  Red, we'll find out over the next week or so!

    Yep.

    I think Grundy is going to need a freshen at some stage, so that could be interesting.

    I think Schache could turn out to be a useful swing man for us.

    Is there a shower where you put the banner together? If not, seems like a significant health and safety issue for you.

    The outrage was he suggested Uncle was imbibing Chateau Cardboard. He would be mortified at the thought.

    No showers at Reach, which is why I rocked up in full PPE, gas-mask included. Apparently they’re working on a vaccine and it should be available by ANZAC eve next year, which is great since next year we all go to Punt Road to make the shared banner.

    Neck and neck 

    It could be a red herring but in today's press conf Goodwin hinted that Brown might play on Monday night.

    He was lamenting the need to produce the squad 4-5 days prior to game time.  Brown wasn't in the squad but given the time gap changes could be made, I guess.

    Do we have until tomorrow night to submit our final 22?

    Max is a champion and professional. If he and the club are okay, I'm okay.

    To my eye the Grundy incident was deliberate with intent to injure.  But lets agree to disagree on that. 

    imv Draper's run and jump on TMc was thuggish.   I didn't say 'sinister'.

    It will be interesting to see how often his tactics result in injury.

    Might sound like a silly question but is Monday's game a ticketed game or can we scan our normal mobile membership through gate?

    It's actually not a silly question and I just assumed we'd scan at gate but could be dead wrong. 


    Someone was asking about the starting time of the ceremony on Monday night, @Jaded No More iirc.

    The order of events…

    The HS are reporting that Oliver has the flu, did not train today and is not a certainty for Monday’s game 😬

    Looks like Hibberd will be playing with Gus to the midfield. I wonder if that means Sparrow might miss out - his form has been ordinary

    • 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?
