Trying to figure out who we want to win this game. I reckon Geelongs a certainty for the 8 so probably them as we'll be fighting St Kilda for spot.

Yes and no, I know everything's great in hindsight but both North and us nearly beat the Cats. I tipped North last night as well.

    Something the Saints are doing well is not hitting leads at 30-40m to have a shot and are going long to a contest and crumbing it with manic pressure. Something we have missed so much in the past two weeks obviously. One thing i've noticed the best teams do is restrict all but the most difficult angled 35-50m shots. Even though we should have buried Geelong with accurate kicking, they did not let us have very easy crumbed goals in the 3rd quarter.

    I think Hawthorn did it a lot in their GF vs Freo and the prelim v Port, just close access to the corridorr and square and let the opponents have set shots from further out and miss if you're going to concede.

    Has Selwood got his head bandaged up yet?

    Saints in the same position we were vs Geelong at the end of the third quarter.  Gonna be frustrating if they roll them when we couldnt get the job done.

    Has there ever been a team as soft and flat-tracked as the Eagles? They beat up on second tier teams at home with the aid of the umpires and get their pants pulled down when playing half decent opposition  interstate.

    Correct.  Seen this movie before.  

    Wish we had players who could lift and get us over the lines in close games, the help they get from umpires would also help

    Saints are gonna lose, excellent for us.  As much as I hate Geelong they are gonna finish top 4.. still have many games left at the Cattery.

    The question has to keep being asked: is St Kilda's game style sustainable for four quarters? They've got a young list, but if I was a St Kilda supporter, I'd be a little worried.

    They had Geelong dead to rights in the third and have just stopped. Unlike our game against Geelong when we played a player down all day. We've been far more impressive than St Kilda this year and I think it's safe to say we've passed them at this point.

    The other thing about St Kilda is a lot of their younger players aren't great decision makers. They're great if it's all run and gun, but as soon as they're faced with organised defence, they lack the Oliver, Petracca, Salem users.

    Saints have a massive gulf between their top six and their bottom six- too many passengers to beat a quality team over four quarters.

  • Quote

    Put a line through the Eagles, might make finals due to home games but will have no impact. Again, what a bizzare season.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
