Just finishing off a little soiree at The Manor. Good night all round and enjoying lashings for desert.

After a quick kip, your good old Uncle Bitter will be up and about to watch the Dees clean up the Doggies.

The highlight for me today will be, Kozzie's return, Clarrie's improvement from last week's run and Max bouncing back.

I'm also keen for Hore to go well - as I thought he was stiff when de listed.

The Dogs are no mugs and if the Dees are a bit off it could be dangerous 

DEES by 27 points.

    Need the win. 0-2 start not ideal.

    The doggies, however, are our bunnies. We'll be much better today and will win this one.

    Max, Clarry, Trac and Fritschy to the fore.

    Forecast to be a beautiful day. Looking forward to getting along to the G with my boy to cheer on the red and blue.

    Go Dees

    We’re heading to Tassie for a week or two and today we’ll be in Geelong. So I’ll be watching the game at the Sporting Globe.

    Today we’ll find out if we’re a challenger this year. Dry weather football at the G. No weather excuses, and barring some unforeseen injury crisis, we’ll get a proper look.

    Well here we all are again.

    Laughter or tears.

    Praise or criticism.

    I'm not very confident but I'm glad footy is back.

    As Uncle Bitters mentioned, good to see Kozzie back.

    Us by elevensees.

    We have a car load coming to the game today, I am really looking forward to being back at the G surrounded by familiar faces and watching our regulars and newbies have a great game. Really interested in seeing how our boys respond to our off season issues. Dees by 30 in a hard fought tussle. Bring it on Dees.!!!

    Today it’s all about Gussy.

    No one deserves a celebration of their incredible career more than our Gus.

    We have Gussy helmets for sale ($20) at the back of Bay M3 from 11:45am ‘til 20 mins before the first bounce. Not many left but we’re hoping to sell them all as the entire proceeds will go to the Danny Frawley Foundation, very close to Gussy’s heart.

    Aside from wanting the win keen to see how we play in what looks to be perfect conditions. Reading the Casey match day thread and looking at today’s team we really don’t have much depth if any. We need a dream run with injuries this year. The Swans and Giants have shown the competition what’s required, what have we got?

    Really need Ben brown to have a good game because Petty is no where near ready. Worries me if he kicks 0 this week and doesn’t even look half decent

    We have the perfect trophy collecting dust.

    Kicking 0 but competing and not letting his opponent take an intercept mark is a pass for me. Bring it to ground and let Kozi, Fritta, Tracc and the gang get to work. It's a week to week proposition, as we see how his body holds up to the rigours of the game in 2024

    Yep, needs to lead away from Fritta and JvR and take a key defender with him

    Couple of marks and a goal or two is a big win

    Yes, just worried about being to tall, and no cohesion with 5 ins...

    Also our talls are nowhere near as mobile as theres

    We all need to wear this against Collingwood on KB. Now that would make a statement

    not confident at all; not overly bothered tbh about the result - it's all about the 'process'

    it's a long, long season this year - footy has started at least a month too early - and imo we won't be up and going until midway through the year

    My red & blue heart ALWAYS says the Dees.  Not exactly sure what my head is telling me this morning, but I’ll attribute the lack of clarity to last night’s red wine and cognac.  Dees by 11 points!

    • 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?
