Understand they’ve got a few important players out but their starting 18 still looks threatening, albeit dropping away in quality on the interchange.

Based on our last 5 weeks I see no reason for any confidence whatsoever. Just hope we turn up and silence their likely dominant crowd early on, and build into the game from there.

    Well the stats don’t lie. To me, there is an attitudinal issue at the club. Just not prepared to work to the level required. You could probably come up with a few reasons why that is, off field issues, staffing issues (coaching), fitness maybe. Other than Gawn, Petracca and McVee, the rest (first year players excluded) have gone backwards.

    No I don't think he did. You suggested a source very close to the players, and the best 'elaboration' you offered was the stats don't lie, and your opinion.

    I agree in that the stats don't lie, but this isn't elaborating on the issues that you claim are there and that you have inside information on.

    Can any gamblers offer insight why the Dees have come in so strongly in the last 12 hours? 
     

    Do the professional punters have some insider info or is it all sentiment? @binman

    I was elaborating (offering my opinion) on what Jaded No More said that we had bigger issues if it was the case that the players cracked the sads  because of the accom and facilities. I can assure you that this is what the source said. You can either believe it or not. I do.

    Your source is as dumb AF to offer that as an excuse. Sounds like the sort of mischievous rumour a pies supporter would start.

    Love this place when people come in to offer some insight whether that's through their sources or whatever and get absolutely smashed for passing on information. 

    Classic Demonland.

    It will be very interesting to see how the players approach this game from an attitude perspective. I know last week they weren’t happy about the standard of accommodation and ground facilities (maybe sending a message to the club?), and played accordingly. Unprofessional you could argue. Another mediocre performance today, and it will be time to change something.

    I heard they saw this article and responded to the club accordingly

    Continuing to come in. $1.75 now.

    My opinion, sentiment wouldn’t move the market that much. I did see we were as much as $2.05.

    Depends on the quality of information.

    Is it just me or is there a paucity of snow-related humour since the Coodabeens went the way of The Kevin Dennis Football show?

    General feeling is Demons will bounce back. 

    Also Pies missing 4 main fwds and 3 of their top 5 mids. who will score their goals?

    no insider info imo

    A pies supporter wouldn’t be that clever

    Even money odds the difference is only 3.5 points.  That difference does not in any shape or form look at 1.75. To 2.08. The sims do not work.  
    less than a goal. Yes it could be that close 

    but MFCSS. Says no

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
