Why are Saints playing at Etihad ?

I was a little worried about round one.... Now I'm really worried.

I'm just hoping that this is mostly Port being completely horrible 

It's a bit of both, one knock on St Kilda is their skills aren't that great but otherwise they look good.

Saints look good, no doubt about that, but let's not forget to mention that the Power look like absolute rubbish at the minute.  

Plus the Saints, as someone else mentioned, get to play their first game at Etihad where there game style always looks good.  Wouldn't be reading too much into it at the minute.

For all their dominance we had scored more against better opposition at this point in our game...

Reading these posts I thought they`d be up by 6 plus goals....8 points in it as I type! Maybe not that formidable after all?

They burst out of the blocks but after qtr time they were not anywhere near as impressive and really should have lost if port wasn't so bad in front of goal

Yes the intensity of this match is about half of the Melbourne V Bulldogs last week. The bestest thing about it is watching Eddie Betts being Eddie Betts. Makes you smile just seeing what he can do.

I still would like to know how the Aints get an Etihad gig?Wheres the "community" in that ??

Bad couple of days for the City of Adelaide with both of their teams going down. 

Funny thing is that the media are talking finals and perhaps better for the Saints and doom and gloom for Port Adelaide but there was only one point in a practice game played at St Kilda's home ground and Port had more scoring shots.

The general consensus amongst the media is that the saints stopped trying after quarter time. Idk whether to believe it or not. The only evidence they provide, bar the sub par performance, was that the saints rested Riewoldt and Steven after half time. Saints will be the new beloved of the media after everyone gets sick and tired of the Bulldogs winning, methinks.

From what I've seen thus far, the Saints do have a stronger backline and forward line than us. We have a stronger midfield. Hopefully that will suffice, come round 1. This will be such a good game. Can't wait.

Saints only kicked 9 points more and had a swag more against than us in 2016. Their ℅ lower. They simply managed a few wins where we managed to lose.

Our list is better. 

We'll own them soon like those bltches at filthland. 

Our better midfield will cause more i50's and we have superior conversion

Freo are still complete poo.  Are they missing many from their side tonight who are considered best 22?

My wife said both teams are playing near full strength squads! Ross may struggle again this year.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
