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??

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

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

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
