This has all the hallmarks of a memorable triumph which will go down in history.

I don’t even know why I said that. It’s late and I have to be at Fed Square at 8am.

    That's got to be the best forward line we've had in the last few years post BB? on paper at least. It's the one that would've beaten them in the QF with Melksham & Petty. Today will be the best chance since then. Go Dees

    Monday lunchtime game for me and I am in Denmark. Don’t ask me why. More talking to people and a bit of listening. Will have to watch the game on replay when I can.

    I like the selections except for Tholstrup. Would have kept Laurie for a proper run. Looks like Tholstrup or Howes as sub for me. The rest of the selections give us a truck load of flexibility. I just hope that the coaching team use that.

    I do not hold my breath.

    Dees by 2 goals or 12 points.

    I just sent the Domestic Staff outside for 10 minutes to see how wet and cold they got. That "litmus test" told me it's a terrible day so I'll be an armchair supporter for this game.

    I realise that wet ****ty days have'nt suited us in recent years but i reckon the weather might even things up today. Endeavour and motivation will be major factors in the result.

    Hopeful as always but not confident

    The conditions will even things up but still a lot has to go right for us to get the result

    to win we'll have to

    a) bring maximum heat. if the pies get their transition game going we'll be sliced and diced

    b) kick straight

    c) get big games from Max Kossie and Trac. and 1 of our forwards (Fritsch?) to kick 3-4

    The only cast iron guarantee is that the pies supporters will be as horrid as usual

    Go Dees

    Many moons ago at the Junction. Playing the Lions. Scores level. Back in the day one took their trusty tranny ( meant something very different then 😉😆 ) ... at this point , listening to the game ol' Lou proffered one of his many gems.

    "One goal each and the scores will be level" at which more than a few turned to look at each other with a " what did that bloody nong say !!"

    So yes... who knows what the day brings ( other than more rain.... )

    Hopeful but not confident like many others on here. A bit like before the Brisbane game although I think we have a good history of challenging the Lions, the Pies we don't.

    We flipped the script against Freo back in round 6 so maybe we can do it against the Pies.

    If there's one vulnerability for the Pies it's their midfield, and despite the debacle last week in Alice, we've been basically the best contest and clearance side over the last 6 weeks. Stopping Daicos is crucial and someone needs to run with Sidebottom all day. Melksham can hopefully limit Moore's intercepts and then we're in with a shot.

    Dees by 10 if the above can happen.

    If we can stay competitive, kick accurately and remain in touch going into the last quarter then anything can happen.

    Their forward line is the big worry for me. Good blend of talls and smalls that can do some serious damage if let off thr chain easily. Elliott is in a rich vein of form.

    Go Dees.

    I’m forever an optimist, but I must admit to struggling all week to make a case for how we can win today. Then I remembered last week’s Demonland Podcast, where @binman proffered the very cogent view that he thought we were ‘loading’ ahead of the Saints game, to have us peaking for today. I like it!

    Dees to grind out a 9 point win.

    On a train going to Fed. Square. Lucky socks are on 👍🏽

    Running late. Called a Didi (poor man’s Uber) to take me to the train station and he never showed up! Had to walk 20 mins to the station in the rain.

    As I’m boarding the train he messages me with “I’m at your house, I’m In a bit of a hurry. Where are you?” 😳 I messaged back “Are you [censored] serious???” Now his phone’s turned off. Dude won’t know what hit him when he turns it back on… hope he enjoys the messages I sent… he’s gonna wish I had a coffee first 😂

    But this hasn’t dampened my enthusiasm at all! It’s dampened my lucky socks, but not my enthusiasm!

    Let’s do this, Dees!!! 👊🏼

    Not confident to be sure, but I expected that we would cop a huge belting from the lions and that Sydney would beat us.

    What do I know except those lucky socks can work magic.

    Go Dee’s

    • 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.
