Thanks to a stirring last quarter by St Kilda, the dees jump over the Bullies to 8th position on the ladder on percentage ..... let's continue the climb with a win over the Kangas tomorrow

Posted

SPOILER ALERT! It's only 3 quarter time on Ch 7 and the Dogs look like winning it.

It's a delayed telecast ....saints win by 3 points.....doggies fail to score a goal in the last quarter

watching this game, I hate to say it but the Dees style of hard footy look like they could take the Doggies next Friday.

Also, how did WB manage 3 Friday games in 4 weeks?

Interesting game to watch.

Saints no where near their best but still managed to have the game played on their own terms. The Doggies just didn't cope with it.

Gee, the pressure will be on the Doggies if we roll them next week. (Not getting ahead of myself seeing as we play North tomorrow).

They will be kicking themselves seeing as the Dogs are supposed to be 'Premiership Contenders'.

Gippy

Disappointing to see the Saints rewarded with a win for playing such a disgraceful brand of footy. I know they did what they had to do to win, and the Doggies didn't take their chances, but they are easily one of the worst sides in the league to watch, and have been since Lyon took over.

Hopefully the AFL takes note and bars them from any Friday night fixtures next year, and replaces them with the Demons.

I'd sign that petition :)

Not just the doggies -- it'd give the Saints a run for their money, without their skipper. The Dogs needed to break the lines far more than they did tonight and as they didn't, they came up against the zone and when you're up against that, St Kilda have proved over the last season and a bit that it's very nearly impossible to break down, other than to break it by run, handball and short passes.

Make that 3 Friday games in 3 weeks, (which I guess is also 3 in 4 weeks :rolleyes: )

I wouldn't be getting ahead of ourselves with next week, the game tonight was intense, almost finals like, so difficult to move the ball as well as Bullies missing some chances.

We almost beat them last year and we're in with a chance, but lets take it as it comes. Bulldogs still my tip to make the GF

As Crawford said in the MMM call last weekend, the footy we played against the Lions would have beaten any Australian Rules team in the world at the moment. We were that good, and were only getting better. Having watched the game probably 4 or 5 times, I'm inclined to agree.

The question is can we do it away, and can we keep up that intensity.

It'll be interesting.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
