    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.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
