    aaaaaargh!   Never mind. lol.

    Seriously , isnt Pink Lady the brand name or used to be of a certain street product in St kilda?  . just saying.

    This would be one of those things that happened when you were living overseas - we helped facilitate breast cancer awareness and some men were so secure in their sexuality that they could wear pink/salmon clothing. Still there are some that projected their own homophobic self hatred but that’s a history lesson for a different mirror.

    Wouldn't we have to travel if we come up against Brisbane or Port in the prelim? E.g. they finished higher on the ladder and so play a home game, or does us winning our Qualifying place us ahead of them from a home v away prelim perspective?

    If you win the QF you get a home Prelim.

    If you lose the QF or win an EF, the Prelim is an away game.

    If we win our first QF regardless of location and regardless of opponent, our Prelim is at the MCG. Even if the opponent finished higher.

    For those that have seen Laurie, could he potentially be the replacement for the Hunter wing next year and beyond?

    Don't think so. Has never shown that at Casey IMO. The more likely for that role is Woewodin

    I wonder if they will try to recruit Liam Henry for that position?

    I think more likely Blake Howes hopefully.

    Worrying the kind of first quarter Blues have just had against Suns. Hope we come out firing but as Binners said it was such a taxing game we could struggle early doors…

     

    we will win.omen. Went to the local bws this morning bloke behind the jump dead set ringer for  ED

    Not sure which JJ you're talking about. He certainly doesn't have pace.

    He’s quicker than you think!

    Who's going to be our sub?  Maybe Grundy...imagine that!

     

    (I know, probably Spargo or JJ, how uninspiring)

    This match is giving me nightmares. Imagine having to beat Sydney to stop Carlton from pinching fourth spot

    Hawthorn won’t fold the way GC did, either. 

    If we fall 40 down, all hell is going to break loose. 

    A good start tomorrow will do wonders for our hearts.

    With Carlscum winning in a close one today positions in the top 4 are heating up.

    Tomorrow is going to be massive.

    Destiny is in the hands of the Melbourne players themselves.

    We cannot underestimate Hawthorn.

    Yes, as mentioned by @titan_uranus, a good start is imperative as we need to take the umpires out of the equation.

    To quell any doubt I AM being serious. I'm sure AFL HQ would love us to lose this game for the theatre it would create in the final round. I may be wearing a tinfoil hat but it doesn't mean I'm wrong!

    So who do we think McGuinness will go to tomorrow?

    Whoever he goes to it will be a learning experience. Tracc or Clarry.

    played a fair chunk of time here at Casey

    Howes originally started as a winger at Casey before being pushed to HB

    Can see him taking this role on though no problems

    We can't afford to drop this game. losing 2 of last 3 games is just not flag winning form. 

    Hawks will be tough but we will win. We have to.

    I’m expecting a decent 5 goal victory!
    If we can’t be Hawthorn we don’t deserve a top 4 position.

    And we know Carlton are sniffing up our butts for the double chance. We have to win and win well. Not to mention it would be embarrassing to lose in Gawn’s 200th.

    Both Collingwood and Brisbane lost to Hawthorn.

    They don’t deserve it either?

    • 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?
