I expect the Saints to get up tonight in a close contest. There's a few potentially good games this round!

    Saints are looking very bloody good. 
     

    These Kings twins are going to be scary in a few years. Just so natural.

    Ratton has got the saints playing a great brand a footy, Roughead has the saints forward line sorted (what could have been).

    i always liked Kent as a footballer, he’s started this season strongly.

    carltank playing this entire half like they did the first quarter and a half against us

    kent has always had the ability and skills, but his shoulders and his hamstrings worked against him

    shorter terms and shorter games help him

    The ‘aints have certainly got a few things right of late;

    - got rid of a sub-standard coach (we’ll take him thanks - yoink!)

    - decided to pay the 40c to give Butler a call (we pocketed the 40c)

    - traded for outside class (well, we got outside players in but arguably not class)

    - drafted a young tall who can catch the football (we traded our pick for an old bloke who looks like he eats footballs)

    - got a talented (albeit flawed) footy department boss.

    It is a sad day when you’re jealous of StK.

    That Dean Kent guy looks good.

    Max King will be a beauty. 

    Hannerbery looks likes he's done a hamstring??

    Cameron Ling is the Dipper of our generation. Gun player, moved to tv as a star... ends up being a boundary rider.

    Yep, thought the same last week when they beat the Tiges.

    Transformed their game over summer.

    Good brand of footy.

    They're a much better team than us now.

    Turnovers will destroy you. SPS with a shocker of a kick. No wonder people break TV remotes

    How Brett Ratten hasn’t had a senior coaching gig since Carlton is mind boggling especially considering we had Neeld.

    Ratten could have been a bargain years ago...

    But we don’t hire experienced Coaches, unless we are on life support

    To be fair, we couldn't get Kent on the park. At some stage you cut those blokes off and move on. I'm sure we will do the same with KK at the end of this year.

    Reality is, most clubs will turnover 6-8 players each year. He was a logical choice. And good luck to him now that he seems to be getting a clear run at it.

    Kent’s been excellent tonight.

    Our list management is a joke.

    I think our list management is alright.

    We have the talent, but we're very good at ruining it. Chaos ball doesn't really bring out the best in most people.

    Kent is much better at St Kilda, Howe much better at Collingwood because they have better structure and game plans.

    We got rid of Kent in the same offseason we signed vandenBerg to a 3 year contract.

    At best it's inconsistent.

    Marvellous isn’t it

    Maybe we should hire a Coach that understands Structure and game plans

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
