    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.

    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.

    Have a look at Carlton's form and the looming injury list of Stkilda

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
