“Melbourne all over us, we can’t seem to move the ball at all, delivery into forward 50 very poor.”

“MAXXXYYYYYY.

What a star.” (not referring to our Max)

“Nice kick King. Melbourne should be a few more up, umps got us back into it with a few frees to King. 

Our running game is non existent, gotta figure out how to get it going in the 2nd quarter.”

“We had them on toast and let the pressure off by lairising, turning the ball over ... Brad Hill... are you serious?” 

“Who's playing on fritch ?” (posted three times)

“Clark has been abducted by aliens and replaced with a zombie clone.”

“Lucky Melbourne can't kick straight or we'd be getting belted.”

“Imagine picking McCartin over Petracca?”

“Clearly we were out played not by umpires calls they were just too good on he night & I agree they should have won by a lot more . we need to get better”

    Saints touted as a top four prospect but were lucky to beat the Giants and were dreadful yesterday. This is what their fans were really thinking ~

    These are relatively sedate comments. I expected much more vitriol from the feral saints supporters.

    A large proportion of illiterates among their supporters may be the explanation.

    I like this one in particular -

    “That was [censored] poor. 

    Melbourne looked like Richmond in their golden era”

    That one never gets old, we have rarely had a pick selection go out way like this so it’s fun to dine out on it!

    I don’t think anyone could afford him at the time let alone a broke MFC.

    Didn’t the Saints make a big play for him? He flew to NZ to discuss the options with his cuddly dad if I recall.

    It does not alter the fact we did not even interview him when we took Trengove and Scully. That turned out well.

    They knew who they were going to take, and every club would have done the same. Richmond would have taken Trenners over Dusty if we had not taken him. That's it.

    You don’t know that, it is what you want to believe. Fact it is at that time our FD was poor.

    That is right, it doesn't appear they have much else to say.

    This was definitely not the St Kilda fl*g who was sitting behind me at the game. Blaming the umpires (and us) for everything going wrong. Although to be fair I probably sounded like this in 2013.

    There was a dramatic shift in the vibe of the room pre-game to post game that's for sure.

    Going from "how are we going to fit Crouch and Hannebery into this awesome side" to "how are we going to replace the 10 players that need to be dropped after that performance"

    I thought Ratten was pretty honest saying the Saints made a lot of forced and unforced errors on 360. Those unforced errors put team mates in terrible positions and lead to huge swings. We know that as much as anyone. 
     

    The question we don’t know is whether our pressure caused the forced errors and the unforced errors by creating a perceived pressure on every kicker.

    The other thing Ratten said was Pickett changed the momentum of the game and then pretty much said the second half was a holding pattern. I hope we don’t have to rely on it but it’s nice to have both game changing talent and also a structure that makes it hard for teams to find easy answers.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
