Saints are now 6-3.   The difference in tactical nous between Ratten and Goodwin is huge.

They’ve certainly left us for dead as a club.

Very sad, but full credit to St Kilda.

    They brought in ready made players in Ryder, Howard, Hill, Jones & Butler over the off-season, all of whom had an instant impact and have played a big part in getting them to where they are now.

    That's not tactical nous.

    Was very frustrating last night watching Nik Nak dominate the taps the way Gawny does but it actually being an advantage to them

    he also took possession of the ball on many occasions and dealt with it in a manner that benefitted his team.

    Have always wondered why Gawn does not do the same as an occasional tactic.

    No, its good recruiting. 

    What he does on game day is tactical nous.

    Dear Gil,

    I've watched (too) many games on TV recently and I have no idea when holding the ball frees will be paid or not paid.  Please explain.

    Yours sincerely,

    Dear Foory Fan

    I have appointed an inquiry to consider this issue. It would not be appropriate for me to comment publicly in advance of that inquiry.

    Respectfully Yours

    Serong is already having an impact on games this early into his career. Looks a future gun mid/forward. Another one missed *sigh*

    We could make a premiership team on players we've passed on to pick others.

    True. Maybe our picks just don’t develop because of the rotten culture they are put in?

    In these bleak times, we can still take enjoyment from Collingwood losing a match they should have won.

    While it is always good to see the Colliewobbles lose, it means Freo join us on 12 points. A draw would have been better. Haha

    They were very impressive Freo. Loved the fight and grit attitude they showed throughout the game.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
