Saints and Dogs look ordinary

We would’ve beaten either of these two.

    There's only one player on the ground with the surname Howard. So why do the commentators refer to him as Dougal Howard every time they call him?

    Same with (Easton) Wood, (Caleb) Daniel   ...

    Too much time on my hands?

     

    evens out when compared to 'the bont' and other familiarisations

    Big step up to the top four from these two teams, never been more evident

    Both teams making up numbers. Richmond will destroy Saints next week.

    Why all the negativity? I thought that was a very watchable game. The end was brilliant.

    Hope West Coke win. At least I will have picked 1 winner. I also hate the filth.

    What a great game. Saints nearly stuffed it but happy for them. But they have no chance against Richmond if Ryder isn't available. 

    Now we just need west coast to thrash the pies and the storm to win and it will be a good weekend.

    nice! tight game but lacklustre on the box; how is it at the ground?

    Was high pressure and the come back by the dogs was priceless. Made for a great game for an independent supporter. 
    Saint supporters would have been [censored] themselves at the end.

    Happy for the Saints to win however they led by as much as 4 goals with 11 minutes to go in the last quarter and hung on to win by 3 points. It reminded me of Melbourne  you just knew that the Dogs were going to make a last ditch effort somehow the Saints hung on.  Heart  wrenching stuff for  the  Saint supporters.

    Hardwick was whinging again! 

    Said tigers were undisciplined in giving up 5 goals from frees and 50m penalties while saying the umps were 'trigger happy' and they should let the players play.

    His team showed complacency and arrogance before the bounce and played that way.  Got what they deserved.

    Hardwick is up there with Scott on my disliked coach list!

    Yes, but what does Mrs Hardwick think about the situation? I respect her opinion more than her husband's.?

    On the subject of Bruce - what the [censored] is a "hat trick" doing in the lexicon of our game?

    @Rab D Nesbitt?

    @Skuit?

    @Wobbly Bob?

    Gents, doyens, pedants,  is it appropriate language?

    Yeah not sure why hat trick has come in recently. Maybe coz scoring 3 is a big deal these days?

    we have brought in so many annoying Americanisms like lace out and three peat, maybe they are starting on bring in European phrases now??

    Gotta feel for Ryder. Played a brilliant game. 

    32yo won his first final ever. Then does his hammy in the last few minutes. 

    You couldn't script it

    Ugh this is what I was afraid of with collingwood. They have the ability to stand up and perform well when they aren't rated. 

    Come on west coast. By the way Nic Nat missed a few easy tackles in there.

    Cox psyched himself up by convincing himself he’s playing against MFC.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
