Yes definitely some talent there and some good players across the list.

If you ranked the top 50 players in the comp though would they have any listed? Not sure. 

Rihht now they’re looking at a top 4 ladder spot which is about 10 spots higher than where I would have had them in March.

    Well done Saints. Was hoping that Port would win to make it easier for us... 

    If anything, the Saints are showing us that Port are more than beatable.  They should have lost to Carlton the previous week as well.  They are very flaky at the moment.

    jack steele is the best run-with player in the competition at the moment, so i'd definitely have him and hill, plus probably billings, in the top 50 players in the game this year

    marshall not far off it either

    I’ve watched most of there games and have loved Steele this season. Hard as a cats scone and is a tackling machine.

    Hill tonight has been ok tonight but he’s been awful this year. Most supporters were calling for his head. 

    Anyways, I may underrate a few of them but the point I was poorly trying to make is that I’m impressed at how they’re performing as a team which I think is a direct relation to Ratten taking over

    Clearly The Hoff is saving his best for us next week. He’s been terrible the last fortnight.

    I'm glad he has had a stinker and there is no way he won't be dropped.

    He was initially dropped..

    Came in tonight after Trent McKenzie pulled out.

    Gritty gutsy win by the Saints.  Bit of class there also with Clarke, Hill & Butler running around.  King and Membury up front doing well.  Back 6 holding up also. They have a solid mix.

    Tackling's a little off at times and a few inexperienced fellas letting em down with disposal on occasions but aside from that not too shabby indeed.

    Yeah I know, but with his performance he will be going straight back out and we will be spared his traditional BOG performance.

    Good to see the saints win.

    We always struggle to beat them when they're pus. Will be a challenge to beat them this year. They're playing good footy.

    Port are definitely gettable.

    wait til 2021...

    a close game is a good game, been pretty happy with the footy this round so far

    Yeah sadly it feels like he will end up at Carlton which would make them very dangerous up forward.

    Might be just me but I am starting to enjoy the season and take more interest in it also. I am watching most games all the way through at the moment, where a few weeks ago was struggling to watch a half a game. Don’t get me wrong there is still some absolute rubbish games but there always is. I am also feeling the season while always going to have an asterisk next to it, it’s going to be more about how crap a year 2020 was rather than an unworthy Premier.

    Bloody hell I hope we keep winning.

    the best thing about shortened games is it's keeping the games interesting for 'longer' - even if that insane stat that brayshaw kept rabbiting on about tonight has it that only one team out of 67 games has come back from behind in to win - and that was kangas running over the top of the aints all the way back in round 1!

    FWIW I hope that the shortened matches continue after covid-19; if/whenever that is. More close matches/less blowouts.

    I don't like the Saints much, but glad for Ratten. He has endured a lot ... sacked as coach of the Blues/son dying. He was awesome as Demons' midfield coach.

    You think so? Three goals up with 10 minutes to play and 99% of games are over.

    It’s a damning statistic on the state of the game. Negativity has taken over.  Might as well give every team 95 points and only play out the last 5 minutes. At least it will guarantee a high scoring game.

    Can anyone help me decide - Essendon misery or Adelaide misery? 

    I guess Essendon misery has the practical side of keeping the ladder a little more open, while Adelaide misery is only relevant as a joy in itself.

    Crows to win. Essendon to spend the rest of the season just outside the 8. Or, to quote in anticipation "They were the best team to not make finals all year, weren't they BT?' and 'You've really got to think they'll be a serious contender next year, wouldn't you reckon Lingy?'

    etc.

    Essendon would have to be the worst top 5 side or even top 8 side I've ever seen.

    Adelaide are going to win 1 game for the year. I just wish it was that.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
