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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
