    Well we haven’t lost a game this pre-season. Can’t ask for much more. 

    We didn’t lose last preseason either.

    Well that was probably as strong a Saints side as they will have. We had a few key players missing in Viney, Lewis & McDonald which bodes well I guess. Hopefully we don't allow teams many run ons in the when the real thing starts though!

    Oliver needs to kick the ball more. I know he is in the guts pretty much 100% of the time, but he is too good an accumulator and kick to not exploit this more.

    Positives:

    - We won.  A win is always a positive, no matter how you get it.

    - When we played at full tilt in the first two quarters, we looked fantastic.  Great transition, slick ball movement, manic pressure and our backline was terrific.  

    - It feels like we have some players ready to take the next step.  Petracca and Hogan rotated through midfield and forward well, Gus had a really good game, Lever is a ripping acquisition and guys like Hannan and Fritsch give us some real X-factor up forward.

    - Gawny is ready to be an All Australian again.

    - Many of our players had limited game time.  We rotated much more than them which showed in the third term.

    Negatives:

    - The third term.  We changed things up a little but we stunk it up big time.  We need to fix that ASAP otherwise we won't make the improvement we all expect.

    - We had a few players off tonight.  Hunt couldn't really get himself into the game, Salem was just okay and I'm not sure Wagner is in our best 27-28 players.

    - We fumbled a bit but that was due to the conditions more than anything.

    Overall, it was a good win with a horrible lapse in the third term.  Bring on Round 1!!

    Not unhappy with that. Lost the lead, came back won. Lever is going to be handy.

    Look forward to see what goody says about the 3rd, hopefully he was experimenting with certain players which let them back in

    2 things we need 

    Tempo footy when we have a lead that has been recovered . 

    And against the momentum we need Run from our Backs Hunt and frost will do .

    Tracking exactly where history says we should be.

    Good not elite.

    Inside the 8 outside the 4.

    No coincidence that all their forwards got touches once Oscar went off. I’m a fan and he’s probably more important than I give him credit for. 

     

    Shocking 3rd quarter. Loved Goodwin taking extended time right before the 4q bounce with Oliver, bang clearance. 

    Once the class got their hands on it on the 4th you could just see the difference between the teams. 

    Took a quarter off and still won easily.

    3rd quarter worries me.

    Was hoping when teams get a run on that we could stem the flow but didn’t happen. Saints kicked 6 goals to one in the third  

    Hope it’s not a continuous them this season like last season. 

  • Quote

    3rd quarter started with party tricks and fancy stuff from the Dees and basic long kicking footy from the Saints. 

    By the time we woke up, we couldn't stop them. 

    It's an old habit we just can't break.

    What went wrong in the 3rd Quarter

    SEN was not telling much

    were players rested?

    SEN treated that game like a "practice run" ... not sure why they bothered turning up other than to give their producers etc a run.

    Listened for about 10 minutes and realised the comments on the AFL website provided better insight

    Can’t play 4 quarters yet and the Saints made s horrible mistake taking McCartin.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
