I wont be listening to Goodwins after match presser, I have all the learnings I need for now.

Hopefully the team will get some this time.

Been some interesting results this round, perhaps a shock loss for the reigning premiers is the biggest one.

Let's hope they throw caution to the wind today and just enjoy themselves and go for it.

If Fritta fails again, I hope he's dropped. I really want to see him chase and tackle non stop all day.

Gee I've almost forgotten how good footy was when we had game day threads knowing we would win.

I just hope it's not decades before the tide turns again but with Tasmania entering the comp, it's just going to get harder each year.

I'm sure the Afl will do their all, to give Tassie a leg up too.

I have a feeling we are going to see several of our top players poached over the next few as well.

I love watching other games through the week compared to the old days of all of them played on the same day with one replay on the Sat night but sometimes I miss the old VFL.

    …… and then they will want to talk…

    I hate that.

    I haven’t spoken to my mother in law for eighteen months, I really don’t like to interrupt her.

    It’s game day baby. Pumped!

    Bring the pressure early and show them we are up for the fight.

    Can we do it? Of course we can! Sit back and enjoy the chaos.

    Go Dees.

    It must be 5+ years since we’ve been >$5 odds to win a game

    Lions have easily the best squad in the league. They could fill two A grade midfields

    Hopefully they have an off day

    Viney out is a huge loss, so their mids are going to be difficult to stop, or break even.

    I remain unconvinced about AJ, but I hope he can prove me wrong.

    And I have my moans, groans, swearing, ranting and head rubbing all prepared for the goal kicking.

    Unfortunately, we are hosting a baby shower for my daughter and I am on BBQ duties. Having adult daughters can be very very cruel sometimes.

    A photo of him with Max from Maroochydore training about 10 years ago was his pride and joy, yesterday at training he finally got another. Both much older and Max very generous with his time. So he is already riding on a cloud!! He is mid twenties so could use a good 'arms day'!

    Big day for big Petty. I’m hoping for astounding clunks and set shot bullets.

    Great day for the challenges of many.

    Cheering extra hard for bowey and rivers to measure up to quality opponents.

    Hoping that little git Zorko get sufficiently quelled and is frustrated by his own lack of relevance.

    Dees by 22, 28 at 3/4 time

    It's a beautiful day up here DZ. Perfect for footy. About to get ready and amble in to the ground. I'll be in the Gabba room and looking forward to a good game. The last 4 games I have attended we have lost by a kick, so no lucky socks here!!!

    There’s nothing gentle about our bay. If LFS’s son and his mates want gentle they should avoid the Bay of Carnage, a place where eyeballs aren’t valued and all heads are fair game.

    Might get him on a flogger.. MY flogger, and I’ll take it easy up the back of the bay. 😁

    On my way to the airport. Gonna see our beloved Dees have a fair crack today and just like Geelong and Freo we’re gonna unexpectedly win on the road!

    YEAH THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

    PS how bloody good was last night’s demolition of Essendon?!?!?! Me and my fellow nuffie cheer squad buddy watched the first half at Young and Jackson’s and the second half at the Duke Of Wellington and this morning we’re counting our blessings that we didn’t get our heads punched in 😂 Essendon fans have no sense of humour 😅

    Geez Louise I’m not thinking straight… Geelong winning wasn’t unexpected at all coz Port 🤭

    In class pubs like those two as well.

    It was the game against Brisbane in ‘21, played at the GWS ground (which I attended), where, after being well beaten in the first half, we turned it around and won convincingly. But it was this game that also ignited our huge run home and, ultimately, premiership success.

    Let’s hope history repeats today.

      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?
