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.

    Why don't the commentators call out throws? Are they directed to turn a blind eye to this, or are they just stupid? (Or both?)

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
