That's definitely not me. I'm the guy critiquing the umpires

"That's not a mark"

"That's not 15"

BALLLLLLLLLL!

"You've got to pay them both ways"

"FFS"

"There used to be one umpire who's doing a better job than these 4"

Kosssieeeeeee!

"They need to get rid of the insufficient intent rule, that call was b*[censored]"

"Kick a goal son! How good was that!"

Hello, is that me?

I was going off last week about the inconsistency - does my head in

    The six day turnaround is a test for players and fitness staff, but does the AFL understand how hard it can be washing and drying a pair of lucky Demons socks with such a short break between games?

    Solution - second wear is inside out. Third wear is swap feet. One wash every three weeks.

    It’s game day baby. Pumped!

    About to consume a few alcoholic beverages in the office and then off to the G.

    See you there. Go Dees!

    Very Suprised that Goodwin has bought Fritsch back into the side after only 1 week.

    Hope it works,

    win tonight and there is a pulse left in the Season

    I think he needed to after Turner went out to be honest. There’s no Lever, so if May or T-Mac go down, we only have Petty as a reliable like for like.

    If Petty isn’t in our forward line and no Fritsch, then it’s Fullarton and a bunch of smalls VS Vlaustin, Broad and Macintosh in the air…. Probably a bad time.

    “MAN UP!!!”

    GUILTY as charged, yer 'onour. Not that I've actually managed to see much play this year as Watch AFL and I are having Words - my voucher number doesn't work and I can only watch because some kind Demonlander has loaned me their credentials, but I don't want to rely on that because yannow I paid for a digital membership for myself....

    Anyway, GO DEES! I'm off to bed. It's after midnight here and I just can't stay up until 3 or 4am any more. Wrecks me the next day.

    I understand that, but we also had 23 tackles in the Forward Line last week.

    Fritsch needs to contribute to the Team a lot more…

    Hopefully the light has switched on inside his head..

    Dees by 3 goals it should be more but we have the lead weight back in the forward line this week.

    Classy.

    So with Melksham out injured, who would you have brought in ?


    I'm here.

    Trigger warning- small handful of dees players on the ground in a circle - kicking around a soccer ball.

    All about how hard we work off the ball tonight - our scoring will flow off the back of that.

    line for line (no J. Smith)), we have the tiges covered.

    In the ground, should be a decent crowd.. Few Richmond folk have infiltrated our area in M51

    Hunner percent, zero argument here.

    I’ve said it elsewhere on here before but Fritsch has never been strong defensive or pressure wise at all.

    What has changed is the goals dried up, which made this wayyyyy more evident.

    Had a look at the last few years and the following is his ranking in our team on averages:


              Tackles   Tackle I50  Pressure acts

    2021    19th            8th                    14th

    2022     24th           7th                   19th

    2023    27th            15th                 22nd

    2024 28th           11th                23rd

    Gates open at 5:30pm (MCC 5pm)

    Order of events:

    6.50pm - Pre-Match Entertainment
    7.01pm - Light Horses Lap of Honour
    7.12pm - Observance Ceremony
    7.18pm - Joint Banner Run Through
    7.30pm - Match Start

    Note: they pause entry through all gates during the Observance Ceremony (at 7.12pm). If you're not inside the ground by then, you'll be held outside.

    With increased security measures it’ll take longer to process everyone. They really should open the gates at 4:30pm imo. At Easter Monday’s Hawks vs Geelong match there were folks who missed the first quarter due to the time it takes to get everyone in.

    I will be interested to see the way the coaching team perform this evening.

    Last week was really the first time I have seen them win the match day coaching. They were positive and proactive.

    Need the same tonight.

    Want to see pressure, Pressure, Pressure and a clearly defined task for Viney. He responded very well last week.

    Go Dees!

    Totally agree. Small wins continuously.

    With the amount of upsets already in the Season, we can claw our way back, but we must get on a winning streak

    • 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?
