Gee that Dion Prestia goes alright, 38 possies against arguably the best midfield in the comp...anyone heard of him??

Come home, Dion. Despite what some say, we do very much need your services.

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

They were always being held together by aging stars. I thought they'd stay in the middle of the pack for another season, but it seems they might be going down sooner.

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. 

I think it's hilarious. They need draft picks to build their ordinary list. Like St Kilda, Carlton's team is being held together be their older players, with very little coming through below that. Cripps and Weitering. Maybe Curnow in time. Anyone else? The higher they finish, the less likely they are to ever get anywhere with their current list. They need at least another year or two in the bottom 4 to get picks. Their spine is rubbish and their midfield is old. They're going nowhere. Bolton's structures and coaching are wallpapering their deficiencies for the moment, but they will be in big trouble if it continues.

 

Port v Pies 

Interesting stats and highlights  why to take them with a truckload of salt.

Based on what? Current form of both teams?

Based on their form in rounds 1,3,5,6,7,9 and 10.

The Saints are pretty lucky to not cop more stick in the media for their losses. Much of the footy media still bracket us with them i reckon but whilst its tru they beat us they have been absolutely smashed on several occasions and we haven't. That suggest they have fair way to go.

I think the bigger thing is with us the " Handover" has happened, in terms of our side now belongs to Gawn, Hogan, Viney, Tyson and co and the older boys are really playing supporting roles, that hasn't happened at the Saints, they're still relying on the older boys to carry the team on the most part and that's why we're much closer to a flag than they are.


It is still an absolute disgrace and blight on the FD and the playing list that we lost to both Essendrug and The Aints this year. 

The Roos era is 11 weeks away from ending and we are still a long way off where we should be. 

I expected this years performance in 2015

I will never understand why AFL players cannot kick an accurate pass to a running teammate...

we continually fail in this basic fundamental.

And yet we continue to be their [censored].

I am SO sick of losing to them, about as sick as playing against them at Etihad always and forever, even when it is our home game. 

 

I hate how St Kilda continues to avoid criticism in the media.

I maintain that if it was Melbourne getting belted like that, the media would be all over us. 

I don't know why it frustrates me so much, but it does.

You were spot-on . Kudos. Really didn't think the Saints would get up for this one.


Haven't seen it mentioned on here yet so apologies if I'm doubling up, but Kurt Tippett and Gary Rohan are likely to miss against the Dees next week.  I still doubt we can win but it doesn't hurt.

We'll win comfortably Ethan.

My lock of the week!

I bet Neville Jetta will be involved in more one-on-one contests with Lance Franklin than Tom McDonald will.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
