Imagine your season being sunk by Hannan and Harmes. 

Its not the end of the world for Saints supporters, they have that 1 flag they can console themselves with.

If we could get Trac, Garlett, Viney back to their best and find a forward apart from Pedo we may be a chance in Sep.

Mr. Negative here,

Glad we won, but we were shithouse.

StKilda were just much worse.

The forward entries still a major concern, players bombing away when they should be looking around. 

Pedo, well done, puts that ridiculous Pederson vs Weideman debate to bed.

Brayshaw, a great return game.

Hannan clutch.

We rubbish for about one third of the game, we were good the rest of the time.

Utter rubbish. Pressure match and some great passages of play as well as mistakes (brought about through aggressive ball movement). Aints came back at us and we stood up.

Disagree, got lucky with some poor entries when we had clear options open. 

An example is Lewis bombing in and Harmes taking a mark 2 on 1 when Weideman was all alone 40 out. There were many other times similar things happening but they get overshadowed because of individual efforts. I'm glad we have players capable of winning 2 on 1s but I'd rather we played a team game.

Lets not kid ourselves, StKilda were as bad as a I can remember a team in the 1st quarter.

Razor Ray was their best in the first half.

Pedro needs to be worked hard. Mix him up in the ruck, forward and a little defence and he thrives. Great game from him.

Oliver's blatant refusal to actively not kick the ball leads me to believe he must be suffering from some minor OP.

One of his kicks in the last in the centre was sublime. He received the ball and put it out in front of a teammate running forward and he didn't have to break stride.

More kicking please Clayton, it is weapon you need to be exploiting.

Hats of too Gussy welcome back your all round ball use and strong marking a delight to see. Hats off to Hunty some of his delivery into f50 was a deelight?✔

Pedersen was excellent in the ruck, we looked better with him in the centre which allows Gawn to go deep forward.

Much better, actually much much better.

Salem back for Wagner please. Unsure if Watts was good enough to replace Weideman but he's like a rabbit in headlights

Salem might miss a few games after his hit on a player in the VFL, so this may not happen.

Was I also led to believe that Hogan is a chance next weekend as well?

Very pleased with the resolve we showed in that 4th qtr. The signs were that we would buckle again but we managed to slow it down and be patient for our turn to pounce on am opportunity.

Gus was my highlight. Sucking for two quarters was my lowlight. 

Another game another heart attack. Cheers Melbourne. 

Season is still alive and that's all that matters.

Great, gutsy win but these fade outs are causing my blood pressure no favours.  I would love to see us play 4 quarters of football without dropping off. We would be just about unbeatable.  

Weideman can go back to Casey.  Laid a couple of good tackles but at other times looked slow. Petracca is brilliant but I just wonder if he needs to leave his ego at home and just play footy.

Gee a decent win next week could see us play finals if we lose against pies.

 

Eagles have Gws and then crows

Dogs have crows and Hawks

Dons have Gold coast and freo but are 4 points behind,

Our % is a tad higher than all of them,

OK thanks WB. Didnt someone say Salem would be ok and wasnt even reported?

Unsure about Hogan, but would be nice to have all 3 of those back. Pedo stays in, put him on a wing if need be, team plays better with him in it for whatever reason but as Clint said, Gawn forward and Pedo in ruck looks much more dangerous

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
