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,

    Confused Foory Fan

    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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
