What were the scores in that game?

Saints 90 Dees 55

A demoralising day. Easter last year. Went with my family after a family Easter Day in the Botannical Gardens. Have not been to a game since. Not a great investment was that $460 dollar membership. 55 years supporting this club and not much changes. Get on a bit of a roll, suck us in, then boom. The stark reality is that clubs like Footscray, St Kilda and Carlton have gone past us. We over rate our list. Yes, they have talent but unfortunately not the mind set to work hard enough to achieve what we desire. I have seen it time and time again, and am fast coming to the realisation that I will not get to see a flag in my lifetime.

I hear you, brother. Sixty four years in my case.  At least I saw the last premiership. I was 13 then.

It was my birthday. Went with a bunch of mates. Never forget the Saints running rampant in I think the second quarter? Just goal after goal out the back. Was embarrassing.

Yes, even though it was nearly a year and a half ago, I too have very vivid memories of the same. It was embarrassing. Even Dean bloody Kent got in the feast. I lost a lot of belief that day and nothing that has happened since has given me the slightest indication that things have or will change. That game was a stark reality check. Even this year our wins have come against either very poor teams or those going through a form or injury slump (Collingwood). At best we are a 10-14 placed team. Yet to beat any of the better teams and this week will be no different. I honestly believe the players are lazy in a sense that they just don’t seem to be prepared to dig that little bit deeper when the game is on the line. It has always been that way with the club. How many times have we actually come from behind to win a game? It has been going on for decades.

I feel the same.

I went to a garage sale a few years ago, and there was a lady who's husband had passed away from cancer. He was a hawks member and she had all this hawks memorabilia she wanted to sell, as much as i hate the hawks, i was respectful and we chated for a while;

I asked her did your Husband get to see the hawks win their GF she said with a little smile yes, he did.

It got me thinking as i and all dee's suppoters here, we have given so much to this club, for what?

And now the saints and blues and tigers have all past us, i feel we are just there to make up the numbers and sadly never get to a GF win.

That was a shocking game.

But it wasn't the last time we played St Kilda.

We played them again in Round 19 at Marvel. We were close to them all game, led them at QT and HT and only 4 points down at 3QT, but lost by 19. Was a real chance to have won a game late in the season.

In April Richardson coached and they beat us 90:55. 

In July Ratten coached and they beat us 104:85 which included 12 or 13 goals by the saints from our turnovers.

There are about 10 players of their July team that didn't play yesterday vs the Lions.  Main absentees were Lonie, Bruce and Gresham.  Some of the additions are King, Ryder, Hill, Butler, Jones, Kent, Geary, Coffield, Hunter.  A vast improvement on the team that beat us that day.

Our team is better with inclusions like Weideman, May and Kozzie.

The saints have added a lot of skill and speed; things we are not strong on.  They beat us with set-ups at stoppages, keeping a player ready to receive on the outside of the pack, switching across their backline and winning the ground ball.  Much like the Bulldogs on Saturday.

Very pessimistic about this game.

Ah, yes quite right! I think my brain was well and truly in a fog by then!

The saints must be salivating about this week. Get on the $2.10 with Sportsbet, Saints 1-39

Could be. Are you really good looking, super intelligent and incredibly modest? If so, we should have a family reunion.

All the above. Born Sept '51 and Gabelich stumbled past me in the '64 GF.
I was the blonde headed bloke sitting in M54 and was wearing a red and blue shirt with flags on it that me mum had made.

Great M-9. I remember seeing you there ?. March '51 for me. Unfortunately the family reunion will have to wait. I live in France and a trip to Oz is a dream away. Cheers, Bro.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
