Post gameĀ . . . what they are saying about us.

Trak

  • There was people during the week defending the decision to take paddy over petracca. Don't tell me it doesn't happen I've seen it more times than I can count.
  • Petracca believes in himself more than any player I've seen in a long time, and that belief that he is can be great and can be the difference between winning and losing makes up for rather significant deficiencies in his skillset.
  • Petracca’s final goal turned like Warnie’s ball to Mike Gatting.
  • May and Pettraca won them the game.
  • Petracca was just an average player up until this year, don't think many saw him exploding into the player he is this season.
    • Saints got it wrong and everyone knew he was going to be the better footballer but they drafted the player they thought would be our full forward for 15 years.
  • As a caterey member of the western bulldogs who is dating a saints supporter. I promised her I would ask her why the hell our CEO Ameet Baines decided on drafting McCartin > Petracca. Can’t believe it.
    • They weren't sure who to take because of our key forward situation and were then spooked by the Tom Boyd deal. Looks horrible in hindsight but still stand by it being the right call for St Kilda at the time.

Everything else

  • Melbourne played a very poor man's version of the geelong keepings off/block the corridor style.
  • I hate losing to Melbourne more than any team. And that loss last night was more than losing to that borderline rabble but confirmation that we haven't improved and continue to crumble as soon as the prospect of us taking that step forwards arrises.
  • If melbourne do a typically Melbourne and get ahead of themselves then thats great for us.
  • Dees while hard at it, were not quality tonight.
  • The majority of our goals were from Melbourne mistakes not our own ball movement.
  • I can't believe we lost to f*n melbourne. Disaster.
  • Considering how sh*t we played, it’s funny we were still the better team and lost.
  • Thank god we’re not Melbourne supporters and have to watch that sh*t every week.
  • May is 143 game 28 year old who should be in the prime of his career age wise so you would expect him to win that battle every day of the week.
  • Melbourne set themselves for this game. If they hadn't of got Gawn right physically we scrape home I think.
  • A very ordinary player in Mitch Brown slotting one from 50 on a tight angle.
  • Melbourne deserve some credit for clogging the game up and not allowing us to run and gun.
  • Now the boys have to get on the same flight as melb let that fu** that.
    • Good hope they sing their song all the way back. Hope Oliver kicks the backs of their seats the whole way and Max Gawn puts his seat back on their legs.
  • We've got a bloke named Carlisle. He's kicked a few goals in his time. He is bigger than May, perhaps he could have stood his ground and taken a bit of the focus off King?
  • Melbourne. Trash team dragging us down to their level.
  • We made May look like Rance.
  • Our list is still well below even Melbourne and is a patchwork of crap coving serious structural issues.
  • May with 22 disposals and 9 marks. Gave us an absolute bath.
  • King deserves a rest. It's his first year at AFL level, so he deserves some slack, but he needs a rest. He's been poor for a few weeks, poor decision making and poor marking. He'll get better, but we don't need to try and burn him out like when Melbourne ruined Jack Watts.
  • Gawn not called once for tackling the Saints ruckman all night, thought 2 arms around was a big indicator.
  • King will have nightmares about May. We needed to do something about that match up a lot earlier, pretty much lost us the game.
  • Well done to Melbourne, totally burnt us on the rebound and had our number.
  • Melbourne are sh*t Kents good luck to them.
  • Melbourne have no game plan and beat us.

King will be a star. We've had to wait 5 years for Weideman to start hitting his straps.

To be fair Hogan and Tmac were on fire for his first 3 years.

Whats the go with the mullets at St Kilda...is this theirĀ 2020 version of the blond rinse?

Those sweet, sweet tears...

Re Petracca, I'd be interested to know what the "significant deficiencies in his skillset" are?

Not all St Kilda fans are wankers. Here’s a thoughtful piece from Footy AlmanacĀ 

Round 14 – Melbourne vs St Kilda: Confessing getting emotional at the last minute

"The Saints improved much in 2020. Although we won’t play finals, my boys have been doing a lot this year."

Talk about gloom and doom. They currently sit in 7th place with a decent percentage and if they win 2 out of their remaining 3 games, they should just make it. This is the St KildaĀ equivalent of MFCSS.

They play WC and GWS though. They are a 50-50 chanceĀ

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.Ā  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the ā€œFuchsias.ā€ They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach inĀ Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).Ā  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, basedĀ on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.Ā  At the time, the Eagles already had two winsĀ off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Ā As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.Ā
