Uncle Bitter is toddling along today as the guest of a St Kilda member. I expect to be evicted by halftime as either - A. A boorish drunken loud mouthed and ungracious winner

We need the young guns to fire, I know Oliver is going to (3 Brownlow votes coming up). Petracca and Brayshaw need to step up if we're going to win. We also need to taunt Weller, his eyes are too clos

A few things to remember before today's game: Yes, the Saints will kick a goal at some stage.  There's no need to act like the world is caving in.  They may even kick two in a row, but that's no

ANB has looked like he belongs today.

Haven't been a fan but have to give it to him today. Not out of place and maybe the confidence boost he has needed because he seems a naturally cocky bloke who hasn't had anything to be cocky about til today, those kind of guys tend to need something to feed off

One more quarter to go, I would love nothing more than for us to get the first 2 goals to ice the game. 

We probably could've had another couple of goals that quarter. 

Agree.

it might be MFCSS but I'll be worried if they get the first goal or two.

Regardless of the result, I am proud that none of our players sports a man bun.

Need to pump through five goals this quarter and keep the pressure on. Put the lead out to 40-50 points with 15 minutes left in the game and they're done.

sad how much of a lead I want before any confidence sets in when playing the Aints at Etihad...

                                  Or

B. A boorish drunken loud mouthed and ungracious loser.

 

So that is the secret to breaking the hoo-doo.....Uncle Bitter in the Saints' elite section!!  Wonder if he has been evicted yet?

Having witnessed the Essendon Melbourne fiasco many years ago  where Kickett kicked the goals and us  it is very hard to remember that this is a different era But I think we might just about have won this.

The trouble with being old is that

Old travellers are always boring

Old soldiers are always heroes

Old fisherman are always liars

And old demon supporters are always pessimists

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
