It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    The playing group will step up as a collective and wear Geel down by the last.

    Season defining game, maybe career defining direction for some of our stars.

    Friday night, can’t wait!

    Kozzie owes us a big game & our forward line has to function.

    Would be great if our midfield actually stepped up & win a clearance.

    Well done to the dees fans making the trip down. If this was tomorrow I would had gone but there's no way I'm getting there tonight

    We have some good ins

    and we can't possibly continue to play as badly as we have been

    for those reasons alone i reckon we will put in a much better performance. whether that's good enough to win i don't know. Our record down there is not good so unlikely

    but for gods sake can we show a bit of heat and ticker and pride in the guernsey

    and stop fumbling and executing our skills like we're drunk

    get it together

    Go Dees

    I had pencilled in this game to go with a [censored] supporting friend, but with the Dee’s playing so well, I think I will decline.

    Says something about me and my mate Don. Only excuse is we have a family member staying for the week and we have not had access for couple of years.

    But it’s on the TV, 2 hour drive there 2 hours back to watch a hit house loss. No the TV will do. Go Dee’s Yelled weakly Not confident at all. Expect 30-60! Loss

    Understatement of the last four years. Arguably owes us a premiership. Love him all the same.

    With those guns last night, the most important question was not answered.

    Which moronic side did they support ?

    Like most on here hoping for an ice breaking win but expecting a loss, odds are against us. Will tell us a lot about our season.

    I find it very interesting that the very players who should be driving standards and leading our club are the ones who've caused our club the most disturbance. Now whether that disturbance was more media beat up than fact they put us in the media's headlights. On the other side to that is the fact that a new game plan takes time to embed in any side and can be frustrating to all especially those used to success. The big question for this group of over fed ego's is can they still fight for a win. Not a close loss but a win. I think the next 6-8 weeks will define how we see these guys long term. I want to see us hunt in packs, run back and forwards hard and get around each other after every goal, tackle, shepherd, gut run, smother, you name it, I want to see a team supporting each other again.

    I'm annoyed with the senior players and I'll be more annoyed if we get smacked tonight.

    Geelong by 54.

    IF we can all get on the same page, execute skills to AFL level, and show genuine pride in the jumper, then we are a real chance!

    We will find out this evening whether our beloved Dees have it in them!

    Against better judgement I'll be heading down the highway, hoping for an improved performance.

    Last time I was there was 2018 when Tuohy got the a goal after the siren for the win. Time before that was 186 😭

    I was there that day too 😢 The locals weren’t particularly fond of me and let me know after the siren. Let’s reverse that scenario tonight.

    Yeah they've didn't seem too fond of us either, though there was one very lippy Melbourne supporter who was trying to wind them up all game, and that didn't help our cause.

    Was that you? 😛

    Gates open at 3:20pm. The Casey game starts at 3:50pm. It would be great for the Casey boys to see and hear support, so anyone who can get to Mordor early enough to catch even just part of the match, please do this.

    Besides supporting the Casey players, being there for two matches also justifies the criminally high price of a ticket. Idk about y’all but I had to fork out $65 for the privilege of sitting in the away cheer squad bay. God how I hate that club.

    What are the odds of Kossie being a little over-enthusiastic and getting suspended again?

    I can feel it happening

    I predict a pretty even second half with an improved effort before slipping away and losing by 5 goals.

    • 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.

      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?
