    We should target Billings at the end of the season. Saints would probably want too much though.

    He's a side talker. Always talks out the side of his mouth.

    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.

    I'd actually have them firmly in the bottom 6. 

    Better than Carlton and Brisbane, but thereabouts with GC, the Dogs and Essendon.

    Don't disagree with your comment that we can't take them lightly, though.

    Impossible to have any confidence going into any game, let alone one we are expected to beat. Bit sad really we are still in this position.

    That [censored] Lyon will do us in again. FFS.

    Not taking them lightly on their day they can beat anyone as evidenced by smashing Richmond last year.

    Three days ago everyone was saying how bad we were. A week is a long time in football.

    My entire facebook and twitter feed is full of articles about how bad St. Kilda are at the moment. This concerns be more than a feed full of articles about how good our next opponent is.

    We need to win by 10 goals to help make up the % loss to Hawks and Richmond.

    We lost what, 114 points aggregate?

    We have made up 36 of that, 78 to go.

    We then need to make more up against Carlton.

    And that doesn't account for 5 weeks of winning / not winning by 10-20 pt margins.

    My maths might be slightly off.

    No, we just need to win.

    This IS the game we come out and give it to a side lacking confidence, however this club has no trust yet and very likely to cop a touch up. If that happens nobody can trust this team until they can prove their trust.  Heart in mouth again for dees supporters.

    Geelong in Geelong and Hawthorn in Tassie are not easy ways to judge a team.

    The Saints weren't too bad against the Crows, should've beat GWS and took care of Brisbane at Etihad. The idea that they are completely horrendous isn't true. 

    They struggle to score but are pretty honest effort wise. It's probably a bigger test than Essendon who have bigger holes around the ball. Play like we did in the first half against Essendon and we won't win. Play too over confidently and make silly mistakes and we won't win either.

    Not sure if you’ve watched any saints games but their skills have been deplorable to be honest

    Like many here I’m wary of the wounded animal. Bombers copped a bit after ANZAC and were the better team in the first half so we need to focus on being ready for them to come hard out of the blocks. 

    In a twist though it appears our game plan seems to suit etihad stadium more than the G. We seem to relish the fast track with quick transitions through the middle. 

    With any luck Petracca will be good to go to remind them of the stupid decision not to take him.

    This game is becoming harder by the day. Our injury list is far more telling than theirs. No Viney, Trac or Salem. And Hogan is under a cloud and could miss. Honestly this is a dangerous game for us.

    Every game is a danger game for us we can't be trusted yet.

    This is some MFCSS rubbish.

    They were awful, truly awful, against Adelaide. They brought GWS down to their level more than anything. And they were losing to Brisbane in time on in the third and were only about 10 up halfway into the fourth (bearing in mind this was at Etihad, not in Brisbane). They were also abysmal against North (again at Etihad).

    Their skills have been consistently poor all year, worse than anything we've dished up. They don't have A-graders and many of the kids they thought would be A-graders are stagnant or going backwards.

    None of this is to say we are certainties to beat them. We're not certainties to beat anyone, and we've traditionally struggled against St Kilda. But let's not turn this into a narrative that suggests St Kilda are anything other than a bottom 4 side.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
