This is just the kind of game we are notorious for losing. 

I'm nervous

except for the last 6 years against them.

    Who is the sub?

    I want them all to play

    Hawks aren’t as terrible as a lot of people think and Mitchell is a smart coach who will do everything to disrupt our game…:that said you’d expect class to win out in the end and us to get home by 25-35 points

    Some trivial posting.

    I noticed that the spider cam was not at the Colly Saints game.

    At our last G game, the techs game out at half-time to adjust it.

    Read somewhere that the broadcast vision was fuzzy.

    Maybe the ball that hit it in a previous game, has caused problems. 

    Spider may be down again.

    May to shut down Lewis. they don’t have many tall threats after that

    midfield is developing but young

    backline average. 

    we would need to have an off day to lose this

    Just Chol and that's probably about it. Who gets him?

    I think this game will be won in the middle and as usual our Python like backline.

    I hope lever performs better today. He's been a bit lack lustre the first few games.

    who are we thinking for the sub? out of the 5 below it’s a tough call  

    1. WINDSOR
    2. HORE
    3. Oliver
    4. Petty
    5. T Mac

     

    I reckon Windsor if the sub has to be from the “Thursday night selected“ bench.

    Otherwise Sparrow.

    Thanks 

    That's a big bet on Petty's fitness.

    Not sure if I like it. Could bite us.

    Like this a lot. Stretch the Hawks with attacking talls, was alway unlikely we’d need TMac and Hore as tall backs. Plus keeps Windsor’s speed on the park.

    Sitting next to a hawks fan on the tram . He says his Hawks WERE terrible last week.

    Go dees

    Great man to bring in ... sitting on the bench, watching and learning the opposition weaknesses, relieving Petty after a first hit-out, doing his thang to the Hawks' forwards, some merit in the ideas ...

    • 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?
