I’ve been up since 7am, Big Spooky One. My precious girls (aka my pet chooks) woke me early. They got confused and thought it was later in the morning. Either that or they know it’s gameday and they love hanging with me when I’m manic. 😂

Anyways… Just for something different I’m tipping the Dees today 😅

Us by Maysie and a cardiac arrest (1 point)

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

PS: they’re letting me wave a giant flag today. I’m on probation. This is a test and the pass mark is zero eyes taken out. Wish me (and surrounding fans) luck!

Wave well little rack i will keep an eye out for you.p.s i have told the st johns medics to take extra eye patches today

    What could possibly go wrong?

    I see that Sportsbet have us as slight favourites. We've won 1 of our last 5 games, Saints have lost all 5. Clash of the Titans.

    Fun fact. The Essendon no name that destroyed us in Gather Round is languishing in the Essendon magoos despite his team experiencing one of the worst injury crisis of all time.

    I’m tipping Collard to be the nominated “no name” of the day to kick 4 goals and be the sole difference in an 11 point win for St Kilda.

    I have no idea what to expect today. I'll go along today with no expectations & just hope we see something positive

    I never got the appeal of the snow. It's cold, it's wet and it hurts when you fall. Give me the beach any day 😎

    Don't fall !! 😉

    Probably be selling my gear anyway. Knees not so keen these days.

    Funny... never seen much appeal sitting on a beach. ( and I've often lived near one... still do lol)

    Firing up the box might be the go later.

    Go us !!

    Bought a couple of these at the local milk-bar ($4.50 each!), so much caffeine it’s not funny. This’ll keep me going ‘til the first bounce, then I’ll have anothery. Dare iced coffee lightly carbonated in a can, sounds revolting right? And it is. It’s disgusting but once you get it past the gag reflex it’s fine.

    1. Start the game like you’re prepared. Our slow starts are becoming systemic. Turn it on from minute 1 to the siren. Relax time is AFTER the game.

    Agree with most of this but the flow starts have been a pain in the backside gif years. Turn up to play !!

    We need a person only for this , get them ready to play !!

    Saints on a losing streak. Like the Blues last week.

    Memo to Goodwin … it’s last chance saloon

    Dees MUST win this or it’s getting more than disappointing , it’s EMBARRASSING as a club !!

    Here’s some basic tips from the other side of the fence

    1. Wanganeen Milera … you let him run around for 37 possessions last time. Little pressure. wtf. At least make sure he’s under pressure

    2. Dees don’t let guys like Sharman or Wood or Higgins or Owens kick 4 or more goals. Amazing how many average “no namers” like Moir and Menzie have a day out against us

    3. DONT KICK TO WILKIE. Last time the strategy was to kick it so he could intercept. Ffs. It was dumb. Dumb footy.

    4. Protect Kozzzzzy. Windhager will go to a hard tag. Other clubs like cats and pies protect their players getting tags. Blocks. Bumps. Etc. Stand up for your teammates

    5. Centre clearances. Need to get this sorted as we have been weak each week. We were pathetic

    6. Development. Like to see Langford used for 5 or 6 CBAs this week. That’s where his future lies. Not on a wing.

    7. Start the game like you’re prepared. Our slow starts are becoming systemic. Turn it on from minute 1 to the siren. Relax time is AFTER the game.

    Let’s see how many of the 7 get done !!

    So we're favourites today...

    Last time we played Saints, lost by 5 goals

    Last time we played Marvel, lost by 10 goals (to Norf 🤢)

    Makes sense!

    Spargo our sub

    Surely agreeable to all here…

    On my way in with the father in law who is a mad saints supporter in the Halos Lounge. Going to have to be well behaved! 🔴🔵

    I'm completely devoid of all confidence at this point of the season so honestly not sure if we will come close to them.

    The only thing giving me any hope is that if we get 25+ scoring shots again, surely we will do better than 7.21. They are playing indoors after all!!


    In the pre-game thread people were asking about how to use their online membership to get access... is this a replacement home game for us?

     

    Petty up forward, Spargo in the team.... at Marvel, and an out of form St Kilda with Ross Lyon poised to completely out coach or resident "learnings" genius...

    This game has all the hallmarks of a completely ruined Sunday afternoon

    I hope I'm wrong

    • 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?
