No wonder we lost to this juggernaut. Crows a sneaky chance for the 8? Mathematically possible?

Maggotly possible.

2 quick goals and adelaide are less than 4 goals down with a half to play. And with the way they're playing they could get a lot closer than that.

Called it (sort of).

Another cheap free kick

Poor umpiring 

That was 100% a free for a high tackle… was always there. St Kilda lost this game regardless of the umpiring. To have the lead they did in what was a low scoring game and then lose, speaks volumes for where they’re at as a team.  It’s no different to our loss to Adelaide… everyone loves to blame the umpires because that’s easy, but the reality was that we gave up a match winning lead through our own ineptitude.

The ball bounced over the line. Saints had no-one on the line when up by a point in the last minute at a stoppage. 

They are a shambles

Crows ran the game out, Saints could barely walk. Absolutely smashed the Saints in the last. 36-0 up and then 54-18…no excuses.

The Saints kicked one goal in a half of footy and got out run and out worked. 

that’s why they lost

Who'll go first, Teague or Ratten? Will be the news for the next week or so.

 

 

They’ll both be gone by years end. 

clubs foolishly signing on caretaker coaches coz they win a few meaningless games.

St Kilda topped up thinking they’re Geelong, when in fact unlike Geelong their core is mediocre and they have poor leadership and no finals experience. Poor choice.

You just can't believe that last season not only did the saints make finals they defeated the bulldogs in the first week. 

To not kick a goal in the final term, I mean the saints win and they would have gone to 9th. Instead the crows have passed them.

If Ratten does not get the chop after being so far ahead in a game and still managing to coach his team to a loss, then I will be gobsmacked!

How come Dean Kent can't get a game for that rabble?

I presume injured?
Ratten said this week they had 25 fit players on the list so could just fill a team sheet. He was happy they could name 4 emergencies.

Because, like when he was with us, he was either injured or not up to it?

It was poor - but they had so few players available you can’t read too much into it.

For what it’s worth I really rate Ratten. He had our midfield performing above where it should have been when he was midfield coach, and I think he understands the game really well.

They were a better team when he was in it last year. Must be a long term injury.

The only supporter base that has suffered more than Melbourne, is St Kilda. 1 premiership in eleven thousand decades and 27 spoons. Oh dear.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
