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. ;)

    Why? I thought the Saints were our biggest worry?

    ;) 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

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
