You should know if you are.

Or perhaps posters mean, “if I were Simon Goodwin”, etc.

How about we pay at least some attention to grammar?

Call me a pedant if you wish, but I find it annoying.

your are a pedant

    I’ve a question…

    So, Fritta’s been named as an emergency meaning he has to be at the ‘G for the firsts, right?

    He’s been told he’s in the Casey side playing at Casey Fields in a match that starts at 11:05am tomorrow.

    Yesterday morning when he was told he’s been dropped he was told he’d be playing a half at Casey.

    Does this mean he’ll leave Casey Fields at halftime and head to the ‘G before the start of the seniors match?

    If so, is that something that happens regularly?

    That’s actually three questions, but what’s an extra couple o’ questions between friends?

    Four questions now. 😅

    If Fritta has his usual first half performance of 2 touches he won't be too tired at least

    Thanks. Your post tell me we’re getting back to business as normal here after a bitter week of cannibalism and mutiliation. :-)

    No comma after ‘like’ but one after ‘mean’.

    You are out of control.

    Surely we have someone better than Howes? Absolute panic merchant with the ball.

    turner, adams oh wait goodwin is useless

    people really give petty a hard time around here but don't realise the coaches have absolutely throw him in the deep end after putting him up forward for a season and now he is our starting fb vs freo, hope he does okay tmr his performance is 100% on the coaches

    Every chance Adams is a late in. Think it has to be done this way.


    So Petty takes Treacy, but who plays on Amiss? Are we expecting Adams to be a late in? Or Turner to play back, leaving Fullarton on MFC debut to lead our forward line with no JVR or Fritsch to help?

    Good to see the ace bring swung but not instilled with faith in some of the replacements.

    I think if we lose this , Goody definitely won't be coaching the MFC much longer for sure.

    But I think we actually have this one.

    Yeah, if we give Freo the time and space (read: lack of pressure) we gave Essendon, it’s a 15+ goal loss guaranteed. Freo have considerably more dangerous players than the dons.

    Over to you Dees! Harass the living [censored] out of em

    Why not try Adam’s, Howes will get smashed, this could get ugly quickly

    Alert, if you are coming in by train and are on the PAKENHAM or CRANBOURNE line guess what?? Yep as per usual Buses Replace trains from sections. Why does this keep occuring???

    Can't you get an express bus to city then walk to G?

    Just now, bush demon said:

    Or express bus to Southern Cross then train to Jolimont.

    Howes had a great game in the 2s last week but neither him or TMAC have the strength to tackle with Amiss or Tracey.

    Either way it's pressure or bust.

    • 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?
