Go Saints.   We would pull even on points with Geelong if they lose tonight and we beat the Pies.

And Im sure we all wanna see Geelong miss the finals in general anyway.

    I hope our coaches are watching the Cats vs Saints game. 

    Cats spent the first 5+ minutes playing kick to kick as they did vs us.  But the Saints were able to get the ball from them.  'Learnings' there for us.

    pies have rested moore and reid for the crows, lost four more to injury and brought bad the great man lynden dunn for his first game in two seasons

    Go the Crows !!!


    I reckon the saints are more likely to slide down the ladder. So I’m ok with the cats winning. 
     

    Saints are majorly overrated

    Both Saints and Geelong have a good percentage. Whoever wins let's hope it's a thrashing

    Saints are yet to play the Eagles Brisbane and the Giants. They also play us, Bombers and Hawks... Interesting possibilities

    They might have been third but it Wouldn’t surprise me if the saints miss out on finals. No gun tall fwds, inside midfield can be beaten. Play keepings off and they fold

    Saints getting belted. Lovely. Wouldn't surprise me to see them tumble out of the 8 with the run home they have. 

    Hawkins 5 goals straight

    Saints dropped 12% and are now only 2% above us.

    Saints total pus tonight. Great to see.

    Who knows what to make of this season.

    Saints have looked a million bucks recently, and then turned into a 2013 Melbourne side tonight.  They didn't kick a goal after half time after smashing sides these last few weeks.

    Do we rate the Cats?  I feel like they could fall off a cliff as well.

    If we can keep winning games then we can play finals.  It's that sort of season.

    Just sent a txt too a saints mate who’s been at the game, and has been getting a bit cocky about them.

    “Hey “mate” the Dee’s kicked 4.8 against port up there and got beat by 51..........Dee’s and saints game should good”.
     After siren.
    “your mob kicked 2 more behinds than us but got beat by 59..........Dee’s by 6”

    Are you sure? That is a pretty novel concept.

    Yes, on second reading that's a pretty poor sentence.  

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that, normally, by this time of the season the eight is pretty set.  But I don't think it is this year.  Teams are more prone to losses, and in some cases big losses, and if we can hold our nerve then we can knock someone out of the eight as the season progresses.  That's what I was trying to say anyway.

     

    This season is entirely in our own destiny. But we have to beat Good teams, there are no excuses, all sides are playing off short breaks. 
     

    Stuff St.Kilda. Inconsistent at best.

    Hope Freo beat the hawks.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
