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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
