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

Why should we get 3 chances??

    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.

    this

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 ?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
