    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
