    We'll win, beat GWS in the prelim and then beat Lions on the G for the flag haha

    Thursday is less time for Moore and Daicos to get up too. That's also a win.

    They ruled Daicos out already. He’s two weeks off from even running. Will be lucky to play the prelim.

    I'd pay $1,000 right now for it to just turn out like that.

    Because it’s a final we absolutely should win against a side who can kick goals quickly if we nap. It’s also Collingwood and losing to them would ruin my day, possibly my weekend.

    I'm away so haven't had the chance to see the Sydney game.

    The Melksham news is devastating on all fronts. Having cemented his spot and done so well this year, to miss out on the finals campaign will be heartbreaking for him. Meanwhile it throws a massive spanner in our forward line thoughts. Having him and Petty go down in the final month is just no good. 

    I suspect it will be TMac who gets that spot. Fingers crossed whatever form he got today, and perhaps next week for Casey again, can translate into AFL level, because if we get the slow, early-2023 TMac, that won't work.

    I don't need to have seen the game today to know that we won't be dropping Turner for anyone except Tomlinson. We are not abandoning that plan now.

    Don't worry mate, just enjoy the fact that we get to play an age old rival with packed G!

    If we lose, well [censored]; I'd rather be involved classic contests against the teams we most want to beat!

    If lose, we'll also get a chance to smash em again!!

    I'm sure it's already been said but this QF is possibly our make-or-break at the flag.

    Win it, we get a home prelim against Brisbane/Port/St Kilda/GWS.

    Lose it, we get Carlton/Sydney (likely Carlton) in a semi before having to travel to Brisbane/Port.

    The stakes are huge.

    I don't see any other matchup shaping the finals series more than this one.

    Maybe if Port get over Bris that is bigger but still not sold. I think all eyes will be on the G.

    Which was an odd choice from Horse given the form Rivers has been in 

    Yep agreed 

    we're three wins away from being premiers

    it's pretty simple

    win this one and we're in a very, very good position

    for mine...i'm shattered for milkshake - he's been fantastic the back half of this season; such a shame

    OUT: melksham

    Absolutely [censored] luck with injuries all year. Amazing we’re fourth and two finals at the MCG.

    Hope there’s 95,000 but will probably take a hit in turnout if Thursday night. Atmosphere will be electric!

    Thought it was Montagna that gave us the pump up. King just nodded his head.

    King had us number one seed last week, but when asked to give his GF and Premiership tip, said Collingwood would beat Lions in the GF. The man changes his mind on everything for no good reason every week. Only a few weeks ago, he said Collingwood couldn’t win the flag. They’ve not beaten anyone of note since, but all of a sudden, he thinks they’ll win the flag again.

    The ‘expected scores’ only had Collingwood beating Essendon by 30-something points. Essendon were terribly inaccurate and Collingwood vice-versa. Essendon probably also have the worst form out of any side atm. Not sure you can flip an opinion or change a view based on Collingwood’s win. Essendon literally shirked at contests, it was unbelievable.

    • 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?
