How can you dominate possession like that and only kick 3 goals and be up by only 2 points?  This [censored] team....

 

Ask the blokes that gave their full forward 2 free kicks that resulted in 2 goals. That’s the difference.

    ****ful umpiring both ways so far. It’d be great to watch a game and not notice the umpires impacting the game for once.

    Fritta is a disgusting kick for goal 

    This guy pretty much cost us a finals spot last year with his kicking.

    He's doing it again. He's a brilliant 50 goal per year forward who destroys our momentum and chances with his kicking for goal. Why has this not been fixed during the off season?

    So fing angry right now.

    Dominated stats whilst looking like we barely had it.

    We have to beat the crowd tonight. Saints fans are LOUD.

    Jeez King has come on a lot. Giving May a tough time of it.

    Well if every time you touch him he gets a free any backman is going to struggle. Which rule was that last free? Blocking apparently when you are bodying up on your man. Can’t chop the arms, can’t hold, now can’t body.

    Guess good teams make the most of their opportunities. Fritsch, Brayshaw, etc.

    Oliver amazing.

    ANB great.

    Petracca is 40 percent down on last year. 

    Langdon's kicking too loopy 

    Salem good

    Haven’t been able to watch the game but FFS are we mentally weak?   So often concede a goal or two just on the siren.

    Don’t be silly ! A decent Shiraz is far more valuable 

    might have been better to put the maid on it and kept the shiraz the way were wasting our chances.

    Played reasonably well and should have a better lead to show for it.

    Agree on Fritsch, what the f@#k has happened to his goal kicking? Hasn’t been the same the last couple of years.


    Well there’s a lot of positives in the way we’re playing, BUT YET AGAIN failing to finish. We should be 15-20 points up right now, but poor kicking for goal and poor decisions at critical moment (plus a dubious at best free to King at the end of the quarter) means we’re basically even. 

    I don’t know what to do about Fritta, he’s getting into so many great positions but FMD he’s a coach killer with his set shots. I remember we dropped Bugg because he didn’t finish any of his shots, I really like Fritsch but he is killing us with basic misses. 

    May had a great game last week but credit to the Saints they’re making sure he can’t get free to mark it. He’s been a little hard done by the umpire at the end but other than that King is all over him. 

    Viney was the star of the quarter, absolutely everywhere. Oliver playing great footy. Petracca kinda going back to old Trac of doing good things but also silly things.

    Dont know but these umps certainly are.

    I need to talk to someone- about how lame the umpires are.

    Smashed them in every stat.  I expect they will change their tactics this Q.  do something about Gawn and the talls down back

    King is a major issues for us.  he is a gun and bloody tall

    Need something from you Dogga Jackson

    Agree 


    Predictable end to Qtr. the difference is one team has space and skills and the other is a middle of the road scrapper. It never changes. Petracca cost us that second goal

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
