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

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
