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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
