Salem was non existent today & Bowey not much better, we need Hibberd imo, proven big game performer & our best lock down defender.

 

Salem had a hard tag on and Bowey played well, not sure what game you were watching.

    At the end of the day you really only want to make a change if you have too when you’re consistently winning & especially leading into finals.

    Tell Tommo that.........

    Words can’t describe just how pumped I am for this game. 

    Last time we played Collingwood in a final was 1989 at Waverley and we got the W.

    We also rolled them in the 88SF, a fantastic day at the G with a bumper crowd, some pre-game fisticuffs and the classic September Colliwobbles.

    I can't wait to play them again, I want to see Viney and Sparrow bulldozing them and knock them off their perch.

    Sorry I’m not trying to pick a fight, but you can’t be serious about Salem having a heavy tag, who & for what reason would he be tagged for, to stop those dinky little kicks 

    l also thought Bowey was a bit loose today

    They'll give the job to McVee and he'll do a fine job imo.

    We could play both him and McVee. Not suggesting we drop McVee but we might want to go smaller against the Pies.

    Salem has been non-existent for the last few months unfortunately. What's up with him?

    But who you are you dropping from our current defensive 6 for Hibbo?

    It can't be a tall because this is a set up that Goody has decided against since half way through the year which no coincidence that we got a run on with our wins since we started with the 3rd tall defender.

    Our defensive system is top 3 in most key defensive stats, its right up there in premiership credentials.

    If Goody likes a system that is working for us he'll rarely change it up or risk putting it out completely out of wack.

    The only reason Hibbo plays is if we lose Rivers, Salem or Bowey to injury.

    Oh god not this again. Hunter's fine. He's one of the last players they'd drop.

    In fairness, Gawn hasn't done much over the last two weeks since the Carlton game, being the sole ruckman..

    That's fine, he's still playing his role. That's all he needs to do.

    Goody has already admitted that Grundy experiment hasn't worked as what they thought it be, but again, that's fine. He'll only play if Gawn has to miss.

    Internal monologue “I [censored] hate that Hunter [censorino] rah rah and I have I have long running argument with my more successful brother in law about the Grundy trade so I gotta smash him in there, and also Hibbo for that one player I forget his name, and TMac because Grundy’s not going to take a mark soigottagethiminthere…rah”

    Unrelated but I used to like the Dana White UFC show 'Looking for a fight'. Thought it was pretty good and refreshing as Ultimate Fighter had gotten a bit boring.

    I think he’s a better kick, better overhead, can tackle, can tag, can go into the midfield & doesn’t duck his head.

    Please add May, Oliver and Fritsch to your outs to make this even more realistic.

    Do you think Melksham, Turner & Laurie will play?

    Hunter won’t get dropped I’ll admit that & Grundy won’t get another gig, it’s a forum so let’s not all get to angry over people’s opinions

    • 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?
