Saints and Dogs look ordinary

We would’ve beaten either of these two.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
