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.

The defeatest carp going on in this thread is deplorable. What relevance the Saints being shocking has to a game Melbourne plays NEXT WEEK I've no idea.

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.

"As per the first post, I congratulate St Kilda on a gutsy, inspiring performance"

 

Is Brett Ratten the right guy?

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.

If Andy did that for Demonland - he would save some money on the server rental...

And half the users would never be seen again.

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 ?

Bit low, but maybe 30k is the new 40k?

I think 25 is the new 40

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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
