We've had a good spread of goal kickers in the past, with the mids having to carry some of the load.

Hoping we get a functional forward area, where we start converting the many entries, and the forwards get the majority of scores.

I'd be thinking the mids are carrying an inordinate amount of the load.

We'll  see

Go us

    Anyone on the fence about going, PLEASE GO! Crowd will be low because its against GWS, the F1 is on and the weather is poor. Let's try get at least a few more Dees supporters there to show support for our boys, and especially the debutants!

    Bbbut we might break a record??!?

    (I have no idea whether we would - I expect a franchise holds the competition record)

    18 debutants in the first game of 1897 is probably the record, held by a few teams.

    i expect an entire bay of level 2 in the afl members will be mine - m18, for milkshake, is my usual locale

    my expectation is i'll saunter up there and the usher will still do the CAN I SEE YOUR TICKET when there's NO ONE coming

    At the Saturday training he was in runners (not boots like everyone else), though still participating.

    Certainly wouldn’t risk May with such an inexperienced tall fwd line

    Bring in a small to lock down Daniels 

    Or T Mac to handle Gruz

    Love Round 1, hate that it is Sunday 3.20pm and F1 weekend. 

    I will have eyes on Jeffo who is surprisingly good in the wet (a few games at Casey last year). I am not expecting too much, but want to see his leading, effort and attitude.

    Max will be a huge factor in the game - win or lose.

    Can the 6 debutants quickly play our defence/stoppage game?

    Will our forward line look or feel different with new line coach and new faces? I definitely hope so.

    GWS are very well coached, disciplined except for their skipper, and transition as well as anyone. They go in likely favourites. 

    Should be a cracker, hoping for a 20 point win.

    And let’s be honest… a significant portion of our fanbase won’t attend because of the rain.

    Rain wouldn't keep this Melburnian Seattleite away!  Living in Seattle has taught me how to deal with rain.  (Living in Melbourne didn't....)

    However there's the little matter of noone has developed a teleporter yet so I'm stuck here for the nonce and only able to watch on the tv.

    This is the flattest start of a season for me that I can remember. Too much [censored] and brutality in the world. Footy seems so unimportant and not even much of a positive distraction anymore given all the pathetic dramas from the end of last season. Still I will be watching and hoping for a win. More hope than confidence.

    Looks like the rain will be clearing by bounce down which is nice. Might be some light rain to start, but should be gone pretty quickly 

     

    Good luck to the demonland faithful 

    may the good ship AFL

    bestow good luck fair seas and lots of wins

    • 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?
