    Saints are playing well without their inspirational skipper.

    If Nathan Jones doesn't play tomorrow there is simply no excuse for us to not play well.

    There is never an excuse for the team to play badly

    Pity others have thought differently for so long.

    Watching McCartin look like a deer in headlights makes you appreciate just how special Hogan obviously is given how comfortable he's been first up.

    Are the saints copping a raw deal from the umps tonight?

    Or is my hatred of the filth clouding my judgement

    Your judgement is fine.

    Agreed, Saints getting a stiff run.

    I don't see any problem with that ... :blink::blink:

    Yep, agree... and similarly, as Douglas Bader was able to successfully pilot fighter planes having had both of his legs amputated, there is no excuse for any other multiple amputee not to do the same.

    Edit.... and it seems we now do have an excuse as the Saints are trailing by 5 goals (and on further investigation, I have learned that there are no multiple amputees currently flying missions anywhere).

    Not trying to stick the boots into a young kid. But McCartin's butchered nearly everything he's touched tonight. Just wonder if he'll cop the same flack that Watts did?

    Nah I am sure we can blame Jack Watts for McCartin being crap .... :)

    I feel a bit bad for him, it was much like the Jack Watts debut - horribly handled and poorly timed.

    He didnt even know he was playing until 7pm.

    In fairness, he's only had one possession so it's not a lot of butchery.

    Dropped marks and fumbles count as butchery. He also got a free kick 5min ago and kicked it straight to the opposition.

    What a terrible game of football. On this form we should beat COLLINGWOOD once Queen's Birthday rolls around. They're a very young side across the park now and without looking at all the numbers I think we'd have more established players than them.

    Watts had a far better debut than this.

    yeah he did.

    McCartins debut is definitely the worst debut by a number 1 pick ever.

  • Quote

    Agreed re McCartin. Feel sorry for the kid and hope he doesn't cop it. But maybe Watts will finally get some slack?

    He had one nice bit of play after he spilt a mark to recover and get the ball to Billings, but thst was it for him.

    He did struggle a bit tonight but we are being quite harsh noting:

    - first game nerves

    - wet weather footy for a tall is never great

    - key forward in last year's wooden spooners

    - minimum inside 50's

    - team smashed by 12 goals

    - played on someone who's body has gone through multiple preseasons

    Midfielders can impact straight up but kpf's always struggle early. I hope he turns into a playrr

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
