For one, because it makes our win against them last week that much better.

Who cares? It's a lose/lose. If they win tonight people will say they didn't turn up last week. We'll get no credit. The ladder is the most important factor here.

    Really? They're going to be one of our major competitors for the eight. Why the heck would you want them to win this?

    Uhm West Coast... F em! 

    At the end of day anyone in the 8 will be tough competition Saints aren't our 1 and only. 

    Tough tough call on Bruce then.

    They're not our only competition, but they're one of them.

    And yes, tough call on Bruce. West Coast have had a pretty good go of it.

    It does feel like our game last year against them, as someone else said.

    Fine, then rejoice in the fact that one of our rivals for the top four (West Coast) may lose a game they would’ve pencilled in.

    I don’t care about “credit”. I only care that we didn’t just beat up on a ratshit team last week.

    shame we didnt get the saints game on free to air instead of the other game. 

    Seven never pass up an opportunity to broadcast a game with Essendon, Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, Carlton or Geelong playing.

    Interstate clubs and smaller Vic clubs are like lepers to Seven.

    Looks like the Saints have let this one slip. Best possible result for us, really. Shows we didn’t just beat a crap team, but also stops one of our Final 8 competitors getting the 4 points.

    I think there has to be real questions asked of St Kilda's gameplan. Is it sustainable over four quarters? Yes, they've got some young players in there, but they fall away quickly when they don't bring 100%. In some ways I think they've fallen behind us in terms of development, having been ahead arguably last season. This probably has a lot to do with our greater level of talent now starting to show.

    McCartin has no game sense/gets over excited/needs to boost fitness.

    WCE won't go far again this year, they will struggle over east ie finals time.

    We're on the same page, mate. ;)

    Let's hope so.

    I'd also like to question the St Kilda leadership here too. I love this. ;)

    ;) I hate West Coast too. But we needed them to win tonight over one of our major competitors.

    Saints should have won easily, kicked themselves out of it and then a combination of running themselves into the ground and a disgracefully pathetic umpiring display conspired against them. I take away from this game the fact that the Saints are the real deal.

  • Quote

    Nathan Brown had 0 kicks for the game.. just the 6 handballs.

  • Quote

    Saints just needed a Petracca game breaker type. 

     

    :)

    To me the saints were the better team, the eagles can just score so quickly if you give them a sniff. 

    The more games the saints lose the better I reckon

  • Quote

    2 points- first we beat a genuine up and coming team last week, to play like that at Subi vs the Eagles is not something a middle of the road team can do. Secondly, I hope we don't get the Eagles in a final over here because we'll be versing the umpires as well.

  • Quote

    If the saints had Riewoldt they probably would have hung on. Fair effort to play like that without him. Unfortunately bad kicking catches up with you.

    Another lop-sided free kick count for the WCE....23 to 8 this time. 

    Only if you aren't a WCE supporter George. Been on the right side of that count for decades now

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
