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

    A lot more positive about Rnd 1 .....Saints only missing Montagna.. practice match...I know.... but we played a more impressive oppo at their"dung hill"...just quietly confident !!!!

    Good to see the Tiges continuing their 2016 form.

    I guess they can be excused, missing half their team (Rance) tonight.

    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 â„… 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

    Go Dees

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

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • 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.
