I'm off to the G for the match of the day (... er well, um, it's surely going to better than Gold Coast v Greater Western Sydney?).

It's an away game at the MCG but did I read correctly somewhere that a membership ticket gets you into this one?

I would like to know if members ticket get us in to Jack

The 15 match membership gets you in to all the games in Melbourne. The other 8 matches are all out of Victoria/in Geelong.

Two late outs for the Saints in Clinton Jones and Farren Ray helps our cause marginally, but we will get obliterated unless it rains like last time. Regardless, GO DEES!

Get in front Howe!!!!! Mcdonald disposal is disgusting. This is going to be a long day!

Pathetic as usual. This is really getting boring watching this garbage every week.

I hope we're using up a lifetime supply of stupid self-inflicted cock ups in this one season!

Umpires are that average its amazing.. Not just in this game

What to do with trengove? He is struggling. Maybe put him behind the ball, get some easy touches? He's really labouring.

ummm, he looks like he is equal highest disposal getter on the ground, but don't let that get in the way of your rant!

surely he's mentally stressed to make that mistake

yes, he's trying his heart out

Despite the overwhelming negatives, one huge positive is Nathan Jones he is an absolute gun now, courage was never in doubt, now has lifted his disposal to go along with it. That kick to Green was superb. Yes sometimes still tries to do too much but I feel that's more to do with a lack of options rather than wanting to do too much.

More kicks handballs and marks in the first quarter and did nothing with them. going to be a long afternoon.

Good end to the qtr, if Roo doesn't come back on need to move Mcdonald forward.

I'm not ranting. I just worry where his head is?

Can we please pick up some midfielders so i don't have to watch McKenzie butchering the ball all over the ground.

and FFS Trengove, can you not kick further than 35 metres? Inexcusable to kick into the man on the mark from that range.

From what I've seen both captain Jacks are playing well (apart from Trenners kicking into the man on the mark). Grimes in particular is looking good in his 50th.

Sellar showed he's a spud at both ends dropping an easy mark to gift Kozi a goal and never looking close to getting a set shot in the forward line.

Jettas looking lively and has done a couple of good things. Jones as always is working his proverbial off, and is showing more still than half the team combined.

Much more needed out of Beamer and Sylvia, ball movement is good but we're lacking the final step to deliver to the forwards. Watching on my iPhone so can't really tell, are the forwards doing enough on their leads?

I love Jones and enjoy watching Blease. Almost everything else about Melbourne is painful to see and reflected on the scoreboard. Still no goals and we're in the second quarter.

Is Moloney playing? Haven't seen him yet.

Big statement ... we can win this.

I like a lot of what I'm seeing.

Hopefully we can score a goal this half.

And there it is! Goal to Howe 17 minutes into the second quarter. Wow-wee I'm gettin excited!

Agree totally Gonzo. Only thing is that he is trying to do it all himself. I can understand why he does that.

Thats the spirit

Just for you Ned. Out scoring them 9 to 1 in the second quarter. Do the saints really think they might play finals this year.
