0 for 1 in predictions this year but Garry Lyon says St. Kilda are deplorable so they obviously will destroy us.

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/04/29/lyon-st-kilda-absolutely-deplorable/

“Their kicking skills were absolutely deplorable,” Lyon told SEN Breakfast.

“Like, deplorable to the point we all watch footy on Saturday night and we’re all experts in our loungeroom, your phone just starts pinging and all your mates are watching the same thing and wondering whether you’re watching AFL footy.

“The players in that St Kilda side two years ago that we thought were going to become something, where’s Jack Billings, where’s Luke Dunstan, Jade Gresham seems to have just stagnated, Maverick Weller’s best footy is behind him, Jack Sinclair hasn’t lit one up for a long time and these were the sorts of blokes we thought were going to carry them.

“Jack Steven’s their best player and can’t kick very well, still.”

Also Membrey and Bruce can't kick and they always play the game of their lives against us. They too will destroy us.

Only pessimists need reply. You optimists are deplorable too. :P

    1st half or 2nd half?

    On first half form they will destroy us.

    On second half form they will destroy us too because we can never back it up.

    We're doomed and cursed.

    I get this thread is satire but it wouldn't matter if we were playing Seaford 3rds this weekend, some supporters would come on here saying we are gonna get our arses handed to us

    Bruce is an A grade hack, who always kicks a bag against us.

    Definitely contender for the Kent Kingsley award this week.

    Trouble been a MFC supporter is we watch every game with our heart in our mouth.  It is decades of inconsistency and not knowing which team will turn up on any given day.  The season is on a knife edge and we have to be at our best every week.  Beating the Saints, GC and Carlton are simply a must for us to cement our season.  I have no idea week to week it’s a lottery and that’s a major concern.  If we miss out on the 8 it’s a dismal failure with our list.  Supporters of this club are just fatigued with inconsistency.  If we are to improve we must win the next 3 then there is a glimmer of hope.  At the moment I do not trust this club.

    We are better than them but Saints are in the bottom half of the mid tier of teams (6th-12th). They should go in 50-50 against any teams in that tier and can't be taken lightly.

    The saints killed us in midfield setups a couple of seasons back, at etihad.   And Hickey gave Maxy a sponge bath, that game as well.

     

    They crowded us around the contest, forcing us to cough up the pill.  Much like the Hawks did to us a few weeks back, and the Tiges did us as well the same way. 

     

    Take them lightly, at our own Peril.

    Bruce is injured, out for several weeks.

    Not a heavy injury list for Saints.

    Josh Bruce  Back  6-8 weeks
     Darren Minchington  Knee  3-4 weeks
     Jack Newnes  Concussion  Test
     Dylan Roberton  Heart  Indefinite
     Koby Stevens  Concussion  Indefinite
     Jimmy Webster  Hip  Test

    I think the skills Comp wide have been deplorable this year, very hard to watch any game with interest currently. Between saints, dees, Roos and bombers it’d be a toss up.

    I don't get how posters on here are saying saints better then bombers, there record is worse, the bombers beat the crows in Melbourne, and the saints lost by 55 points to a undermanned Crows. The saints have been trying they are just no good, if the dees take them serious then we win by 35. The docklands is now our favorite ground, we now play it better then anyone.

    They've also drawn with the Saints, struggled against the Lions and only just accounted for the Pies.  Outside of thumping the Dogs, they haven't exactly set the world alight at this point of the season.

    Goes to show anything is possible this Sunday, particularly with the evenness of the comp (outside of Carlton and Brizzy)

    Mindset and discipline are the keys, if we start well and turnover the scoreboard then I expect the Saints to wilt. We really need a big win to give the players some real confidence.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
