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

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
