St Kilda reek of Melbourne 2019.

Pre season injuries, lack of hunger, bath water etc...

Probably preseason injuries... 

Not a crack at you @Bring-Back-Powell, and jeeze I hate 'bathwater' as a catch-all phrase for, getting a head of yourself.

No team... ever drinks their own bathwater... you don't think all coaches drill in to the players that they haven't achieved anything until they've won a premiership... (or the players don't understand this through all their coaching and know it innately?)

Their gameplan has been torn to shreds... and they're quite a limited team...as evidenced by losing to us last year...

I'd prefer them to have a long slow painful death.

While i like what the 'stand' rule has brought to the game between the arcs, the AFL really needs to fix it's application to the set shots for goal.

There is sometimes strict interpretation and at other times none in terms of stepping off the line of the mark while taking a shot.

Some players are getting called immediately taking a step or two as they arc out of their line, while others appear invisible to the umpire and are alowed to arc out and waltz towards the side of the man standing the mark without any adjudication.  With the latter (non-governance) gaining an extra 5 meters or more, sometimes the difference between a goal and falling a little short.

A fundamental but obvious umpiring flaw that needs to be addressed and quickly.  Could be the difference in a tight game.

@Rusty Nails, dont you get it mate ? - ambiguity is great for the game. It's great for debate, it frustrates people endlessly.

Silence = apathy = death.

33 points up and Eagles decided to go to Tullamarine. Haven’t seen them stop like this in a while.

West Coast are just down hill skiers. Apply the pressure and they wilt

Great response from the Saints after the Essendon horror show

Applying some Demonland logic here but if we beat the saints easily, the saints then beat West Coast doesn’t that mean….......we’ve gone past West Coast ?

Better to have both on 2-2. Win tomorrow and we will be 2 games clear of both.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
