The Aints know what is on the line. They won’t lose with Ratts in charge

Why should we get 3 chances??

 

 

Tim Kelly the one man midfield for wce it unbelievable by foot and clean, this is type of player we need

A gift for St Kilda with half the Eagles side out.

I was going to say why cant we ever have this luck, but we would lose this game anyway.

No excuses or whinging. We’re our own worst enemy. We’ve had a dream run with injury this year, nearly the least games lost to injury of any club. Credit to the fitness staff.

We’ve also had some very favorable runs with the umpires in matches this year too.

Just two weeks ago we lost to 2nd last Sydney who were missing Buddy, Rampe, Heeney, Mills off the top of my head.

We have a history of losing to extremely weak opposition. I’ll never forget when we lost to an Essendon replacement team.

 

Looking at the Saints, we sure dont look like we deserve to be there.   Gonna need to be a revolution in our game style for us to even make it, let alone trouble anyone.

Saints suck, they will fall into the 8 and do nothing.

And we double suck in comparison, but I don’t disagree.....

What this shows is that us and the Saints are probably actually in a very similar position (reflected by us both fighting out for the bottom 8th spots and our tight contest the other week). We both have it in from of us as opportunities to make the finals. 

Basically neither team really deserves it, both should be making up the numbers in the finals no matter who gets through.

the top 5 look like premiership contenders, but both the bears and meth coke are currently beset by serious injury (gov did him hammy for the latter tonight), while all the teams 6-13 are pretenders, freo and sydney are rebuilding and capable but not consistent, while the bottom three of crows, kangas, and hawks are pretty ordinary

too many teams, too many ordinary footballers

Meth Coke with half a side still play with more skill and pressure than us

Ridiculous!!


It is so frustrating watching a hack side like St Kilda and knowing they sit sixth.

Sixth!

A competition full of plodder sides and we still can’t make the 8. Shameful stuff.

Tim Kelly is one hell of a footballer.

I thought Ryan had hit his ceiling in 2018 - he just keeps getting better and better.  Great player.

 

Did anyone know that Duggan is from Bacchus Marsh and was coached by Dougie Hawkins???

Who would have guessed.


Go Saints!

I suspect partly talent but mostly well directed, skilled and drilled in a very basic but effective game style SW.

Did you hear the pre-game interview with Rattan?  His assessment of Meth's strengths and weaknesses as well as the approach to the changing conditions etc.  No wonder they are doing very well this season.  Oozs confidence but also hints of a guy who assesses & analyses in depth and it plays out on the field.

I'm not saying they are world beaters but they're in very good hands.

And how smart was that little double tap kick off the ground by Butler a little while ago for the goal off the ground!  Our blokes would be either attempting to pick it up in slippery conditions or jump on it and probably get pinged for HTB.  Outside of natural talent that shines through on occasions, we are a terribly coached/drilled/skilled team in general.  Awful to watch.

Even the coaching genius of Ratten couldn’t get the Saints over the line ?

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
