I’m easily satisfied today.  The following will do me nicely:

-  some solid ‘in-game’ breaks for Max, Tracc, Vines and Maysie;

-  some game-day run into Fritta;

-  Clarrie to clean out any remaining cobwebs;

-  a good look at Disco in the Ones;

-  nice little win;

-  no injuries.

Thanks

    Port are really going to want to steady their ship today. Only two wins out of the last six matches (and neither of those wins against top eight sides). They are not going to want to enter finals at 2-5.

    Go for the win and let the cards where they may. Winning form and mentality the priority over QF opponent and venue imv

    The Lions were ordinary last night against a dogged opponent. We're a cut above the Saints so the Gabba should hold no fears for us. And the Lions record in finals there isn't great either. highly likely this is all moot anyways cos Port won't lose to the tiges. 

    I'm looking at Fritschy's form and what disco can bring. And no injuries please.

    A confidence boosting 25 point win coming up

    Go Dees

    Couldn’t care less if we win or lose (of course I don’t want to get smashed), as long as we don’t get injuries. 
    A healthy list is the most important factor in winning a flag in September.

    Yes. A possibility.

    But we then have the chance to do the same.

    Hope we play well and are "in form" against the Swans.

    Winning is preferred. As it helps build momentum for us.

    Don't care where we play in the finals. You gotta beat the best to be the best. Although, obviously at the MCG against the Magpies is preferred.

    No injuries is important. As we need to be fit and healthy for finals football.

    Lastly, I hope Christian Petracca plays extremely well and gets the 3 votes in our match today. That helps him to be a sneaky chance to win the 2023 Brownlow Medal! Fingers crossed!🤞

    Brisbane are 2-4 in finals at the Gabba since 2019.  I don’t think Port should be any more worried about travelling there than to the G.

    If we know we are playing Thursday, I’d give the AFL the big FU they deserve and make as many late changes as possible. 
    For one I would pull May out. If he gets injured or concussed we are in big trouble.

    I like your strategy. Couldn't agree more.

    If Port lose to a depleted Tigee side (tank) Dees will show the world  how you really go the tank !

    If Port win ,great, we go hard at the Swanees and spoil the show.

    So play hard, go for the win but don’t kill yourselves. 

    The latter part of the season has been one of constant surprises. The Tigers appear to have checked out but I wouldn’t be ruling out yet another surprise in this case.

    Well I'm where all Melbourne supporters presumably go to. I'm at the snow. Got out of the car & the first voice I hear is someone saying go pies tonight. Great can't even escape them here.

    Today I want a nice win, players to dominate obviously no injuries especially concussions & if Goody's sensible he'll take key players off in the last quarter to not risk them

    Its a good point tbh.

    They would prefer going to the G because thats where their imaginary Premiership will be won.

    I know. I have just noticed a chancre developing about concussion protocols and us playing on  the thursday night.

    Some major carry on here today..

    We'll take the game on as serious as we have under Goody's tenure. 

    I hope we win and it's an absolute grinding one too. Nothing better then a good solid test right on the eve of finals to see what we're really made of. If it's one team you want to do it against its certainly Sydney with their contested game plan style.

    Football is also a contact sport.. injuries happen.. who would have thought hey?

    I don’t think this team cares where we play first week of finals. A banged up demons beat the lions at the Gabba this time last year by 10 goals.

    • 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?
