Gil getting them off to a fast start. What a surprise.

The Saints are not the sort of team you want to get into a shootout with, even though it was only pre season Carlton put no defensive pressure on and paid for it

If I recall correctly they rarely traveled from the QLD base last year either.

And the umpires like them.

They play GWS first round at Giants stadium.....then Round 2 at Marvel against us being their first home game of the year making it that much harder for us to get a ticket I'd say. 


out of curiosity what was the attendance last night

thanks

PS I see the crowd was just over 10k (quite low)

Graphic on the footy last night had them at Marvel and the commentators made a point of saying first 3 games at Marvel. 

looking at the fixture though you are correct. 

Pre-season is always higher scoring for all teams, no tags, though there seems to be more focus on attacking for at least the H&A, finals very different.

A Thursday night practise game DJ. Hardly an idea time.


Saints and Carlton are both "run and gun" style sides.  You're always going to see big scores when they play each other.  The question is whether they can hold up against a side that puts them under more pressure. 

based on the bits and pieces i've seen tigers are miles better than the filth and have well and truly put the cue in the rack to allow the filth back into it

they've lost frontbum, will kelly, de goey, and possibly maynard to injury

games are too long - bring back the shorter quarters ?

Agree. Richmond look primed. They always get such an even contribution across the board.

Mason Cox looked dangerous. Kicked 3 and could have had more if he held all his marks. If he can produce some consistent form he’s a nightmare match-up for anyone.

I guess the thing is he’s consistently inconsistent; has runs of form and has never maintained the rage for a full season

True

  • 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.

  • 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.
