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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
