Port 19.11.125 d Pies 7.16.58.  Cloke had a shocker 0.1

Bucks will be ropeable!!

I guess next week depends on which Pies team turns up and which Demon team turns up.

We would have to go in confident given that we beat them in 2015 and 2016

What do people think about West Coast?

There's the whole home and away thing, but look at who they've played at home - Brisbane, Fremantle, Richmond, Collingwood, St Kilda, Gold Coast. That's 6 of the bottom 7. It's no wonder they're winning by so much at home.

This is St Kildas injury list for Round 11

 ST KILDA
Player Injury Estimated Return
Jack Billings Ankle Test
Sam Fisher Hamstring TBC
Jimmy Webster Illness  Test

 

And Billings and Webster are playing vs the Crows!  Their list is a joke and their absolute best team is getting annihilated

Eagles are a mess, they are lazy, and good teams ie Hawks/Dogs can pick feeble zones apart.

While statistically it could all change, short of some big surprises:

  • Final 8 is set (but not the order): 
  • Port will most probably stay on 9th as Crows have a game and good % over them.
  • We will play it out with Carlton for 10th and 11th.  Could come down to rnd 22.
  • The rest are a game and big % behind us.

Its rather deflating but the only real intrigue for us now is how many wins and who we will beat!

They keep kicking to contested situations, at times it's a must, where as the Dogs work their way end to end by working harder to spread and find free men.

Fair call on the 8.

The fact we can't make it at the halfway point will be a good mental test for us. Those who drop their heads and give up can [censored] right off, no exceptions.

Carlton will annihilate St Kilda next week on current form. It's mindboggling, but they actually look like finishing well above us on the ladder this year.

 

I know...that just  #@!!! with my head.  Bolton, one year  ( not even ) with that rabble has got them actually up and about despite a fair share of injuries.

 

We, with our sooper dooper  you beaut "plan"  still see-sawing ..  I know we;re heading in the right direction but we just got overtaken by bloody  Carlton FFS !!

 

Carlton could possibly win 5 more games for the year.. They've a BETTER chance than we have on current offerings.

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Megg

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.
