We will lose this game. Just you watch.

I'm actually fearing the headlines in this one.

Fearing some personal ridicule in this contest from other supporters particularly Crows ones.

There is a saying in the UK when it comes to Football teams when the are mid table and safe with 4-5 games to go with no threat of relegation (they are on the beach) meaning they are on holidays already just going through the motions.

    another negative-$ return - you need what 30K to break even at that joint even though we own a 13th of it (the northern teams are paid for by the AFL and Geelong never pays for any ground it plays on).

    I reckon 15K will rock up.

    Can we sell the game to the WA Govt like North did?

    It won't matter that we lose rather we make a $!

    We'll get 9k on Saturday arvo 1.10 kids footy at that time etc.

    Plus our current predicament.

    I tend to agree with this crowd of 9K.

    Seems absurd that we could get a crowd that low in modern day footy.

    However, we got just 8,900 in 2015 V GWS at Marvel despite the supporter fan base developing some hope and confidence in the team for the first time in years.

    Fast forward 10 years later and we are at an absolute low ebb in terms of disillusionment in the players, coach and club overall.

    Words have truly escaped me.

    I wonder what the crowd will be next week - against West Coast at Marvel early Saturday afternoon.

    Any motivation I have to attend that game has currently been zapped out of me, this might change by Saturday but gee whiz.

    Ok so I have mellowed a bit since Sunday night, I don't want to see the media get stuck into us again, so I will go this Saturday just to add +1 to the attendance.

    • 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?
