    Fantastic presser from TMac:

    Media Conference | Tom McDonald

    TMac speaks so well. I’d love someone to ask him to talk about what it’s like at footy clubs during periods of success, compared to when they’re really struggling. There aren’t many players who have really traversed the ladder up and down to the extent he has. In his 100th game, he had a 26-74 W-L record. By game 193 he had a flag under his belt.

    Get him on the pod @Demonland !

    Uninterested maybe. Not disinterested as I am sure he is happy to be on the payroll at least

    Possibly my favourite player of all time. He reminds me a lot of myself, just taller and with more athletic ability. That probably comes of as self-absorbed (my favourite player is the one most like me). Oh well, we like who we like!

    With Melksham being managed not ommitted who do you suggest be promoted in the role that Melksham plays or should I take a guess? No forward looked worth anything at Casey last week based on what I saw but a role needs to be filled and the Fritsch will know if he does not perform he will be back out with Melksham back the following week. He should be given a defensive job on Vlaustin and be purely assessed against his ability to execute it.

    You know the answer to this question, The love child, Satan was mentioned however seemed to be torn with himself

    If Fritsch kicks a few great, however I want to see him tackle, shepherd, lead and chase with intensity and follow up efforts. No token throwing out 1 arm. Ball or body at any contested situation he is presented with tomorrow night

    Can't argue with the team selection , which has produced the best possible lineup from available players.

    I just hope Fritsch can regain his kicking confidence with an early goal or two.

    Although I am not a Howes fan, I can't help feeling he is a bit unlucky that McVee is ready to return this week.

    He put in a better showing against Fremantle than I had expected.

    As good a team as could be selected with the available players.

    I will be watching as usual but this week it starts at 11.30am my time. A glass of wine at half time as an aperitivo. Followed by lunch after the game.

    I would have selected a little differently by retaining Howes and dropping Sharp. I just think that would have given us a bit more flexibility with some of the positional rotations.

    Bring last week's game and we run out easy winners. Slide back into earlier habits and we get done.

    I hope the coaching team bring last week's style of planning as well.

    Pressure, pressure and more pressure and a defined task for Viney.

    Go Dees!

    • 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?
