I get a feeling Clarry is going to play a big one this Saturday. Can see an incline in his energy/fitness, but just as importantly, I think that gammy hand of his is healing. At the very least, I believe he’s put the worst behind him for a long time. 
 

 

I hope he’s even better on Sunday

    We can’t be risking Gawn now if he isn’t 95%, I’d rather play without him this week if it means he is better for it for the remainder of the season. If it hypothetically costs us finals so be it, it’s about more than this year anyway and if one game is the difference we probably weren’t going to be a contender anyway.

    BUT the medical team is handling our list well. When did we have a list with so few injuries?

     

    Gawny will play..

    Name Injury Expected Return
    Max Gawn Ankle Test
    Lachie Hunter Calf  1 week
    Charlie Spargo  Achilles Season
    Christian Petracca Spleen  Indefinite

    It really annoys me that we've let this nothing club have the wood over us. 

    It's time to put an end to it.

    I’m putting it down to the AFL making us play them around ‘peak loading period’

    They’ve won the last 2, but wouldn’t necessarily say they’ve got the wood over us. They haven’t beaten us at Optus Stadium yet…

    They beat us last year when they were hot garbage. I am sick of them stealing our players and then beating us.

    Lets beat Freo and show them all the WA talent they passed on in the draft:

    • Kozzi (they has 3 chances to draft him)
    • Rivers
    • Tholstrop
    • JVR
    • McVee

    These guys have been among our best in the last few weeks and are the best WA youth running around.  Did I miss any?

    I comfort myself in the knowledge that we got Jeff White from them, Langdon, and they effectively gave us Steven May for nothing given what Hogan gave them. And I totally agree, it's high time we gave them a belting.

    I would be happy with an unchanged lineup if Gawn is still underdone

    Petty/van Rooyen will be a good matchup vs Jackson

    I kinda wanna see us name Max on the extended bench tonight.

    Would make a great sub. Real impact player.

    Except that you'd want to sub him on 10 minutes into the first quarter.

    One thing to consider is that Darcy and Jackson are a big step up from that Essendrug rat tail. 

    I think Draper and Darcy are quite close, Darcy useless outside stoppage — Jackson slightly better around ground but tbh I think it’s all about combatting them as separate entities! Like Binman said, Petty for Darcy & JVR for Jackson..

     

    but.. big MAX will be there.. I can feel it 😛

    • 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.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      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?
