Not sure those in jumpers know much better

Something magical needs to happen and soon.

It's not like these guys can't play football... just that our game isn't much chop !!

Go us

Basically, a lot of people have to do their jobs a hell of a lot better than they are doing them right now, right across the board.

    Richie Benaud would love it, but I imagine he'd be on his own in that regard.

    Dons will roll us and give their fans some false hope.

    Well LDU decided to stay at nth because part of that decision was that win they had against us

    I’d argue, it’s the players attitude and fitness that isn’t much chop. Saw more spirit 12 years ago.

    Over here for the game. Went for a walk mid morning. It’s going to be hot.

    The Bombers supporters I am surrounded by are less optimistic than I am about the result. Which is saying something.

    2012, round 10, winless Dees came up against 2nd on the ladder Bombers. Need, yet to record a win, swung Garland forward and he kicked 2 goals in the last to win the match for us. I missed the game for a friend of a friend's bucks party and won a ps3 as part of the deal.

    I'll be missing tonight's game because it's the first night of Passover and I'll be with my family. I'll be sure to keep an eye on the game though. Is Goodwin capable of unconventional moves? Doubtful! Is there a chance we can win? Absolutely!

    Go Dees!

    I was at that Game. For some reason, I had a gut feeling we’d win.

    This year, not so much!

    Those who don’t revel in abject pessimism will give DL a wide berth. I’m in that camp, but clearly I’m also a masochist 🤪

    No doubt then you will enjoy demonland and the game with a smile.

    I assume that’s a joke.

    What a false dawn that win was against us in round 2.

    more likely from the comeback loss against us late last year

    it's been reasonably well expected for a while that he wasn't leaving; was just a question of how big the deal was to get him to stay

    turned out be big!

    Like Ritchie, umpire 22 is dead to us as well, - unlike Ritchie, 22 unfortunately keeps haunting us.

    Man I am dreading this game

    Losing will be bad enough but the way we play is just painful to watch

    C'mon Demons, give us something to cheer about!

    Having looked at the bombers line up, I feel a bit more confident. Average midfield,

    they are missing Parish, Caldwell, Wright, Langford etc

    Maybe we are a chance?

    You're kidding!

    Anyone else remember the game against the Bombers last year? We got seven goals up, then the Dons came back in a hurry and got very close, and it was largely because of Umpire 22. I was there. [censored] that guy.

    With Carlton on the board, the AFL media will go into overdrive on Goodwin if we lose

    • 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?
