Saintsational Rematch - Sunday, February 17, 1.30pm

Featured Replies

Speaking of netball, I played at Melbourne High tonight and landed badly on my ankle. :angry:

I've had it on ice all night, but the way it feels at the moment I'm touch and go to be right for Sunday.

Irrespective of whether it comes up, I'll be at the game. Rollo, worst case scenario is you'll get that goal umpire we need.

If we have enough on the bench, we might rotate the boundry umpire role among the benchees. It'll keep us warm when not on the field.

 

Disappointing Wise...

Why did you need to mention Melbourne High? Surely the courts at that wonderful, wonderful Castle of education aren't to blame for your injury...

;)

That's bad news Wise :angry:

Hope you can get it going for Sunday!

Big weekend for us. I'm trekking to Geelong tomorrow for the clash and am ready for Sunday as are my two mates (Trav & Dave).

Can't believe we have no boundary riders! Guys, bring along some mates of mates who are passionate for the Dees or if footy is their thing. We need them!

"I'm touch and go to be right for Sunday."

bloody hell, wise... :o:o

between you and cribbes and ruckle and madness...

it looks like a conspiracy to give poor old rollo a heart attack and an early grave...

btw, people, there is no after-match function organised yet... :unsure:

sainters usual people are either unavailable or uncontactable...

I will keep trying... :rolleyes:

also, wise, I assume you will post the final list on here ??

My ankle hasn't come up well today, but fingers crossed it'll be right to go on Sunday. I might have to play deep in the forward line to limit the mileage.

Blessed_Hands can ruck till Cribbes arrives, then they can rotate for the remainder of the match.

We're a couple of talls down now, but with a dozen available on the bench we might wait till we see who shows up on Sunday before finalising the line up.

"Final line-up..."

glad to see your ankle has come good, wise... :rolleyes:

last reminder to all...

bring your own water (to start), sunscreen, and spare footy jumpers if you have them...

we haven't played at gosch's paddock before, but it sounds like footy boots will be fine, and players won't have to resort to alternative footwear...

that's a good-looking bench we have there... :rolleyes:

DO WE HAVE A MELWAYS REFERENCE OR ANYTHING??? ANYONE WB ASAP

It hasn't Rollo. I can't even run on it, let alone think about changing directions. :mellow:

But I'll strap it up and give myself a last minute fitness test before kick off... with a little luck I'll be good for a cameo in the forward pocket.

Leaving Healesville now, see you all down there.


Go DEMONS!!

I can already hear you singing the song from halfway round the world!!!!

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
