This is not going to be a walk over. The only certain win right now is West Coast. We have to come out and start well to take the crowd out of the equation. 

Like we did last week vs port?

Half of Adelaide actIng like it’s Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Elton John and Pink in one big mega-show. The other half are all, oh that football thing is on now, is it? What’s it called… The Gathering? (A woman actually said that to me. 😅)

The best traditional (jam style) donuts in Melb.

The piece de resistancee... the plum jam filling 👌🏻

Not to be confused with the hot (ball) jam donuts at the footy et al whIch are also pretty special.

    Nah no walkovers this week. Getting a win alone will be a pretty good achievement against a mob who is desperate and in their own park.

    Probably thought we were card nerds or something.

    This game and West coast are probably our best chances for 100 point win.    Other teams will do it to them so we have to as well.   Percentage could be king at end of season.  Fill your boots Dees!!

    Lol, you're kidding right?

    I'll eat my hat if we win by 100.

    Hunter, Laurie, Spargo, AMW, Woewodin, Fullarton, Tholstrup, Melksham, Tomlinson, McAdam, Adams, Brown, Turner, Sestan all are attempting to break into the side. It's funny when you're winning, even your depth looks fantastic. It was less than a month ago I was bemoaning our thin list. :) 

    That's because you flip flop, ya duffer.

    I think I'm the most nervy when people start talking margins as if the win is Fait accompli.

    Forget Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Elton and Pink. Whenever I see it written as "The Gathering" I keep thinking of Diana Ross and the Supremes singing "The Happening"

    Quiet on the old boards 90 mins before bounce. You'd think it was a weeknight.

    Will miss the first quarter or so of this game travelling on an interstate flight.

    The last time something similar happened, I switched onto the footy in my hotel in Perth and saw the MFC amazingly in the game on the scoreboard against Geeeelong at Cat park in Gawn's breakout game.  We know how that turned out!

    ...hopefully that's an omen.

    Spot on.  Flying out tomorrow with two wins from two in the toughest gather round draw for sure (playing both SA teams in a true home ground advantage to them) will be the in-season highlight for me.

    A one point win will satisify me.

    Our draw BTW is scandalous but predictable AFL stuff up of the important things.

    Trying to frantically get everyone fed, showered and [censored] off is a marathon on a Thursday night post work and pre football. 
    I absolutely loath Thursday night football. Such an unfriendly fixture for anyone under the age of 70.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
