    Hibberd in at some stage and Bowey forward perhaps

    It'll be for Smith, unless we cop injuries.

    Did you just cop an injury?

    I’ll be happy with a solid 4 quarter effort, no injuries and Maysie having a solid game in the backline. The rest should sort itself out.

    Suspect it will be a lot tighter than what some are predicting. Hope I'm wrong

    Daicos already on 25-26 votes and Trac on 18-19.  Trac needs 3 big games over the next month. Let’s hope he starts with today.  Butters and the Bont are the other major stars  in serious contention imv.

    With heads in the right place from the get-go, we will win by 7+ goals.  Heads in the wrong place, then anything could happen in this crazy football season.

    Carna Dees, from the first bounce-down to the final siren ... down the corridor with support, support and accuracy.

    I think Daicos has probably already done enough to win the Brownlow even without playing the remainder of the games.

    So no Cunnington to worry about. Good

    Truly? That is good news!

    My plan A would be worst performing mid out, rivers to midfield, hibberd back.

    Just win.   Real chance for flag now with Coll wood hitting hurdle with form and their best player prob out for year. We are into $3 80 for flag.   Am nervous with Clarke returning today

    But l am always nervous 

    This game is about percentage...while margin is important, it's the for and against (numerator and denominator) that count.

    100 to 50 is my wish

    A five point win next week against the Blues could see the % go down so this is a big one.

    Would like a Brisbane loss perhaps but then again there's the draft pick

    It's a travesty if Daicos wins the Brownlow before Clarry 😡😡😡

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
