Pressure is on, don't want a zero and two start. Time to put a difficult preseason behind them.

Those basic errors from last week (the fumbles and missing targets), and the lack of ability to adjust the strategy within the game, have to be fixed.

Stay in the game Dees, or time to slam and make the statement, we are contenders again.

Really hoping our forward line woes are fixed.

We should be better for having a hit out, against a team coming in fresh.

Go Dees!

    On the train from Scumbury- a surprising number of Dog supporters!

    They are looking far too smug and happy- I feel very much like handing out a jolly good thrashing or two !

    Hopefully I’ll arrive at the G in time for a couple of heartstarters with @Moonshadow  ( poor company I’ll admit)

    I’ve read a lot of posts along the lines of “Sydney and GWS are the standard we need to match”.

    After the last two seasons I think we should all know that flags aren’t won in March. We need the four points far more than we need to look like the best side in it right now.

    The train from Gisborne on a nice sprinter might have been better, bitter!

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

    This was our immediate thought. But we have to wear the latest FreezeMND beanie during banner raising and while in our bay. We’re gonna come up with a way to incorporate both. 😅

    Helmet would definitely make a statement, but also vital for ones safety.  I don't feel safe at those games.  Never have, and certainly not now.  There should be some sort of personal safety kit available to hire or purchase, the filth shield or something.

    Harmes gets a forever free pass for that one famous possie and kick to Fritta.

    Given our strong connections as being the pioneers of inducting Irish footballers to Australian Rules. May fond memories of Jimmy Stynes, Sean Wight (hon) et al, be celebrated with your favourite tipple Jamiesons, Guinness, Beamish or Bewley's Irish Breakfast.   🤞  for luck of the Irish. Saint Patrick's Day 🍀 at the 'G Demon's win.

    Why would anyone boo harmes. No true demon supporter would boo him.

    Given we bizarrely booed Baker last year who could not have done any less to tick of the supporter base, I’d imagine the answer is a clear yes.


    Daniel the sub. Bevo is a sicko. You kinda have to admire it.

    Gee Caleb Daniel has gone from just about being an elite kick in the comp to sub.

    Hope taj goes well when he gets his chance

    That's right it was baker. I knew we booed someone that didn't deserve it

    Baker was booed in response to the doggies fans booing hunter. It was a [censored] for tat thing. He wouldn’t have been booed otherwise I reckon.

    • 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?
