Why we beat St.Kilda

Roost it far
in Melbourne Demons

As most of you have already soiled yourselves over next week I thought I’d let you know why we’ll win.

1. Our back 6 will own their forward 6

2. With Viney back our midfield can comfortably match theirs

3. With TMac finding form and if Jackson can continue his Q4 form with Spargo and Kozzie running around our forward line can kick a winning score.

4. Gawn and the mids will work better together

5. Petracca

6. Oliver

7. May and Lever

enjoy your week

    I actually give us more of a chance to beat GWS and Geelong than St Kilda.

    After 12 months of denial, I’ve come to the realisation that St Kilda are a high quality side that is well coached and has significant depth. I expect to them to finish top 4.

    Saints and Dogs have the speed that always worries me, but i think we can take the Sainters for one of the reasons R.I.F. lists.

    Our backline is like a brick wall.

    Some extra speed down back would be handy, and their small could do some damage, but right now i have so much confidence in May and Lever in particular that i am backing us for the win.

    Saints are a good team so it should be a great game.

    The Saints have:

    - Had a hard fight in the last to win;

    - One day less recovery;

    - Return travel; and

    - They ran a combined 294.8 km vs our 275 km (nearly 1 km per player extra).

     

    I'm not sure how much this matters in round 1. Are the players fresh so it doesn't matter? Or is the first hit out tough to recover from?

    Unfortunately I agree.

    Only way I see us beating them is through the benefit of an extra days rest, after a solid game on a heavy 10 graded Flemington track, interstate.

    Hoping I’m wrong and the boys turn it on next week.

    Saints lost contested possessions by 30. Lost inside 50’s by 10. If GWS kick straight, they win 

    we can handle them easily on the inside. How clever can we be converting that to clearances and inside 50’s? Let’s see what we’ve learnt this week

    I back us to win

    They will be heavy legged after today's slogfest with BWS, we have had an extra day and a half to recover, slept in their own beds. 

    Need to get off to a fast start like Saturday, dominate the center clearances and expose their biggest weakness which is their defence.

    Toby Green and Himmelberg in particular caused Saints all sorts of problems today, hopefully our defensive structure stands up to their quick ball movement and forward mobility.

    No-one is saying Rich, Haw and Stkilda would have lost if they had played better opposition .

    Why all the acolades for a club that has won only one flag and that by a miserable point in 120 years.

    Stkilda magnus.

    Good  grief.I need a stiff drink.

    Dogs have an excellent midfield, Saints are miles below them

    1. Don't stop in the 3rd q 

    2. Fix the goal kicking, then we win.

    Think we might put another 4 points in the bank.

    The Saints were hot and cold with pressure efforts and they could have been shut out of it if bws didn’t miss the sitter to make it a 3 kick game. Conditions were atrocious hitting their legs hard and they have some big outs.  Their speedsters are a concern, but our defensive wall needs a few fast smalls to stick tight, we need to play pressure all day and more than halve the contests and we win.

    do this and we take the chokkies.

    A very good point.  I fear the saints small forwards and their coach Brett Ratten to really test the Dees this week.

    Looking for an improved midfield performance, especially with Viney likely back in. If we do this, we are a good chance.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
