GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs St Kilda

Expecting a hard fought spirited performance from our lads today.  Jack Viney got back to his hard tackling best last week and Jets and Lewis back into the side should also add some hardness.  It should also help playing with a full 22 players from the start of the game, rather than the 21 we effectively have been playing with Oscar's output this year.   Everything on the line, nothing left in the tank is how we should be playing practically every game right now.

If we ultimately can't do enough to make finals in 2019, then so be it, but we achieve nothing by going soft and throwing away the season at any stage.  One match at a time, win or loose, so long as we are putting in 100% and working to rectify the chinks in the armor then we achieve something.

Personally I'm in the camp that the Saints are overrated.  No push over, but not the damaging side that some are making out either.  We weren't on our game when we played them mid last year and I doubt we will make that mistake twice.

Carn the DEMONS!

    No idea what we're going to produce at the moment, we will certainly win if we play our best footy for the whole match BUT - have only played about 3 good quarters so far this season....

    I think that today the team will show that they are back.

    Dees by 24 points.

    No saints are not a great side but nor are we. Tmac and the weed will have to pull their fingers out today.

    If we're able to defend the ground like we did against Sydney at the SCG, we'll win.

    But if we defend it like we tried to against Port or Essendon, we'll lose, and I suspect the game will look and play out eerily similar to our St Kilda loss last year.

    Saints scores have been 13.7, 10.16, 9.12, and 10.14. Low scores and inaccurate.

    We just need to limit the oppositions' scoring efficiency once they're inside their 50m arc.

    Surely we can hold them to less than 10 goals?

    nah... all teams find their one off accuracy for the season against us... vide Geelong

    16:4 for the Saints

    Who didn’t play in the opener? Just Omac?

    Caro having another dig at The Club in the Aged today i see. 

    It all played out in 2017 Wilson, you really enjoy a good demon scandal, however small don’t you.

    Does anyone care what Caro has to say these days?

    She's been irrelevant for years.

    It’s a double spread article so somebody must

    Will the 28 degree heat favour the Saints because we appear to be one of the unfittest sides in the league? Refer rounds 1 and 3.

    Or will it favour us as the Saints are coming off a veryphysical games with 3 less days break?

    Weird, surely one would carry over? What happens if someone does a hammy in the warmup?

    Someone said earlier that Lockhart was the carry over.  Admittedly, I didn't watch the above clip, but was he in there?

    A regular media rocket up the khyber is de rigueur to ensure we don’t go the bathtub too often. She’s just reminding us and I hope the players take note. Far more appropriate than the treacle the media has been smothering us pre season.

    Saints have overachieved so far this year and sitting pretty after a very soft draw while also running into teams at the right time (Essendon as a shambles, Hawks on one leg).

    The headline tonight will be “Dees give Saints a reality check”.

    Melbourne by +30pts

    Any minute you will wake from your dream!

    what dig... it's just an article on the Saints and has a throw away comment about how in 2016/7 they were seen on similar trajectories. It hardly mentions Melbourne.

    Why am I nervous AF?

    i think we will win by 34 points, but either I ate a bad curry or this is as nervous as I have before a game in a while.

    I thought this guy was Lockhart.

    Geez, for a bloke who runs a footy-based website, you sure dont know much about the players.

    Tony Lockhart was much bigger than this guy..

    This is him. Sheesh.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
