Is Dean Kent not being selected? Thought he must be injured but he ain’t on the injury list. Not sure he would have helped, just keen to know.

    Biggest worry is the Tigers look very menacing, have a few days extra rest on us and we have no Fritta or May. Let's get over the Hawks first then start crapping ourselves to face Tigers with 3 less days rest. Good luck to us.

    Yes, putting that one down as an opportunity for plenty of "learnings". If we lose by less than 5 goals we'll have done well.

    Langdon would not have dropped that mark. 

    And if he had, he would've followed it up with a chase and dive on Marlion Pickett. Appalling body language and defeated expression on Hill as he just gave up and watched Pickett kick it.

    Can't believe how overweight he looks too. Not like a Byron Pickett  lump of muscle mass, but in a soft pudgey way.

    Got his big pay day and has cashed in and doesn't look like he wants to put in the hard yards.

    Boy was i wrong on the Hill over Langdon trade.

     

    Unless he can redeem himself, you'd want to move him on and free up some space to pip Essendon and lure in Josh Dunkley. Their midfield needs bigger bodied elite mids. They're a bit like Essendon of 2018-2020

    It's the MFCSS. It's deeply embedded in our DNA / psyche.

    I reckon BB will play on Anzac eve which will give us a lift and our pressure game has been top notch. It'll be a battle against Richmond and a 50/50 call i reckon. No need to be fearful at all.

    Gotta focus on the Hawks game first mind.

    Makes for some pretty good reading though.

    I get a sick and twisted kick out of reading opposition supporters who have been flogged.

    Mainly because I know what they are going through.

    Saints 2020 was our 2018 but worse

    Other than King they don't seem to have much coming through

    Could be nasty if they do a North

    25 and unders are okay - billings, marshall, steele, howard, butler, gresham, clark, coffield, bytel, king all should be good long-term afl players

    but they're all a bit...vanilla, maybe?

    100% agree, although David King reckons the Saints have more “weapons” than Melbourne this year ?

    Unless BB plays a full game this weekend and does not look weary in the last quarter I cannot see it. I would also be afraid of a major forward change in a game against this year's Grand finalist.

    They are like watching paint dry.   Hopefully they dont get near finals.

    Great post Chook.

    The Saints are fair dinkum pretenders regarding pressure when compared to MFC, tiges, Port Adelaide and Dogs.

    The stats for last night are deplorable saints-wise as if the white flag was raised at 1/4 time. Dusty with 10 disposlas in final 1/4 supports this view.

    It was Docklands with a 100% capacity of just on 50k so 75% = around 38k of which Medallion club takes out a fair amount.

    I suspect a practical sell out would be around 35k

    It's a big issue for us next week if we can't get the Tiger supporters along as they are the paying supporters.

    not injured, just not getting selected. He wouldn't be getting a look in for our 22 either

    Ratten is a great assistant coach.  I think he will regret taking the Saints job.

    But a lot on here see him as some sort of deity and a far better coach than Goody.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
