It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    Clarry and may are big outs.

    Hopefully the eagles don’t decide to turn it on again like last year but with our outs I reckon this will be a close one

    Not confident but I reckon we win by 15 points

    Go dees

    Clarry yes, but has May out, been verified, or is it still just a training thread?

    Not sure re may. I read it on here and assumed it was a definite out but perhaps not

    I think it’s very possible, in which case I’d have to think JVR will be back in the team.

    11.35am start over here for me. Good timing.

    Watch the first, an apero or 2 at halftime and a relaxed lunch after the game to celebrate.

    Expect a win. Viney to wear Reid like glove and pester him to distraction. Sparrow to take him if he lines up at HB. Rivers to step up in a midfield role.

    Petty and Turner to not change ends at the breaks. Half forward, half back.

    All good…. Dees by 30 points going away.

    I heard May was gonna be a late out from someone in the DA who arrived in Perth yesterday morning. He didn’t say who he’d heard it from but I believed it because Maysie didn’t look right at training on Thursday, so it came as no surprise.

    Before our Freo match remember we were saying Freo had the wood on us, they’ll humiliate us again like last year, we’re gonna be 0-6 etc. Nek minnit… we chalk up a win. 😃

    Ima draw on that energy and bring it into today’s game for all to feed off. I have nfi what that means but I’m vibing a win so I’m gonna roll with it. Again, don’t know what I’m saying coz three hours sleep and no coffee. Zero coffee. Not a single coffee bean😳

    The mighty Dees by Dazzle’s fave player… 30 pts. 👹

    For all the numbers nerds out there:

    We beat Freo by 10 pts

    We beat Toiges by 20 pts ergo

    We’ll beat WCE by 30 pts

    Simples

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

    Just want to see more of that manic pressure we came out with after halftime against the Tigers. Do that and we go a long way to winning it.

    A good last quarter would be nice to see for the first time this season. (Provided we have played the first 3 consistently)

    it's funny, from 2020-2024 i was incredibly confident us winning every game

    now i have uncertainty as to whether or not we can even be competitive

    my mfcss is tingling; not helped by some random stat i saw the other day that meth coke win more round 8 games than any other team or some such poppycock

    do it for plugger mac, dees

    Our game is built around pressure, and it’s been building nicely over the last couple of rounds. Bring it consistently today, and it’s game over by mid way through the third, if not earlier. I’m backing us to do just that! Dees by 50+ points going away.

    Expecting a Tim Kelly masterclass. That guy always plays well against us.

    Also, I mentioned this in another thread, but I get the feeling that Harley Reid will be pumped up for tonight considering he was at the forefront of our demolition around this time last year.

    Curtailing the influence of those two will go a long way towards a Demon victory.

    • 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.
