is the saints late form a concern for them, they have a habbit of dropping good season.

could this late form drop effect there finals?

 

The Saints won't win the flag they have a losing culture that they can't break. It doesn't matter how good there team is they will eventually crack the bulldogs are the same.

Unfortunately I can't see anyone beating those scumbags Collingwood for the flag, maybe Geelong if they get there players fit but that looks unlikely.

Just about sures up us loosing next week, doesnt it??

Oh NO!!!! Perhaps Hawthorn could knock Collingwood off in Week 2, or 3....I hope!

Of course it could. This will be the real test of Ross Lyon & his footy Dept.

They Have been superb but the job is not done yet, & no doubt the supporters will be restless for all of this week!

Sadly the Filth are looking the goods right now...

Its a long season, & each year the bar is raised.

Its pretty even for the whole eight at the minute.

A wet Day could bring any result.

Should be a good ride.


Its going to be an interesting finals series. A couple of months ago is was a lock for Saints v Cats. Now its opening up.

It is frightening to think that Collingwood are a genuine possibility. God help us. Anyone but them.

Odds have tightened up.

ST KILDA 3.00

GEELONG 3.40

COLLINGWOOD 3.65

I suspect the odds will get very tight by next sunday night.

If Hawthorn Get in, they could (Big ask i know) do some damage.

They are a september club, they better get Roughead out of hospital quick smart! :rolleyes:

FFS.....betting odds have infected demonland of late. These campanies are very smart. This year they have stepped up their advertising on the footy show and so on for NRL and AFL and it seems to have infected both codes. Just about everytime I hear a game preview these days I hear the odds on who is going to kick the first goal or whatever crap they say.

Danger game, like last week, for sure.

Saints would be hoping for a soft game, as they're under the pump. They'll just do what they need, and hope for no injuries, much like the Blues this last week.

Again, should be enough, but I have a feeling we'll see another half like the first one last weekend.

I was always of the opinion that it was going to fall apart for St Kilda in September but it looks like it's happening early. It's very easy to look good in the home & away season and get everybody on the bandwagon calling you flag favourites, but that all counts for nothing in the finals. The Saints got flogged by Geelong and Hawthorn in the finals last year, they might be a better side this year but it's all about getting it down in September, something I think is still a bit beyond them and something despite losing the Grand Final last year, the Cats do very very well.

The 2 game losing streak only helps our priority pick cause, the Saints actually have something to play for this week.


A very clever friend of mine said, many years ago, that the Saints will always find a way to stuff it up.

I think he may be right. They did it in 97 (I think, maybe 96) again in 2004ish (The Gehrig years).

I hope he's wrong eventually. They deserve a lot more than to bow out in straight sets.

Clever teams come right at this time of year..seems teh Sainters peaked too early.. if the Filth have their wobble..teh Saints have their Faints !!

Theyought to acount for us this comingweekend but idont ( now ) like their chances come the sharp end of the season. They dont seemto be able to perform when it really matters.

witness... StKilda need a goal to win... choke

North need a goal to win... nail it.

Its all in the head and Im starting to wonder if the Saints arent a victim of over achieving and now doubt is creeping in.

The swans ended their premiership drought a few years ago, like 80 something years or around that, alot anyways,

Then geelong like a couple of years ago, ended about a 40 something year drought...

If the saints win it this year, surely theres a trend happening here...and will keep happening... for us, won't it?? *cries*

Apple crumble! No, I think they'll beat us next week and win their first match as well.

Reiwoldt apparently has knee concerns... oh no.

Davey looked a little pale on the weekend. Rest him.

Yes if its a cold day we should rest all our indigenous players!!!

A few cracks are starting to appear in St Kildas game, Riewoldt in doubt for this week with a strained knee - dont believe the corkie talk, first game at the MCG this season for them......Send off for a few melbourne players......:lol:......have i got anyone concerned yet?.....;)

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
