Poor footy. No intensity at all. For round 1 it is a bit strange. Saints have too many players missing. Brad Hill looks like a disgrace out there.

    St Kilda's missing Ryder, Billings, Geary, Jones, Hannebery (but lol does he ever play?) and Clark.

    Collingwood is at full strength I believe.

    Makes a difference, but still, St Kilda don't look very good at all.

    Won't have a coach soon enough if this garbage continues.  Ratten would be odds on for first coach to be sacked this year.

    No resistance at all from the Aints.  Still, will over pump the Magpies.

    Great fixturing for Friday night round 1, Gillon.

    32 inside fifties to the pies. 

    21 scoring shots

    wow. 


    What an amazing turn around.

     

    Cmon Saints, do it for Warnies family (and for all others, the joy it will give us seeing the Pies supporters get their hearts ripped out!)

    I said earlier the Saints have zero small fwds and it holds. Not having a dig but I hope Higgins has been finishing his VCE/getting an education/setting himself up post footy as it’s coming fast.

    How did Warnies' be daughter allowed to barrack for the pies?

    Gee tuned out of the 3rd quarter because I thought it was game over. Checked the scores and will be watching the 4th. Come one saints. 


    How's the messiah Daicos going?

    This is turning into a really good battle of the cellar dwellers. 

    Happy for Jack Hayes. But not nearly as happy as his mates in the crowd. 😁  Not sure that’s even possible.

    I don't know which is more impressive. His game or the bowl cut / mullet combo he's sporting

    I’m just here for the Mason Cox fashion show. 
    Loving the matching knee high socks and elbow bands. Chanel is turning in her grave.

    Looks very green

    How did Higgins miss that. King will hopefully find his kicking boots in the final term. Turn the behinds into more goals.

    2 Flags against interstate Clubs, with an incredible run of Home games at The MCG and 1 against the ageing Handbags. 
    3 Flags, good luck to them, they are in the cabinet, but I don’t consider it a great Dynasty

    How was Hawthorn any better then Richmond if you say that Richmond won theirs against interstate teams?

    Hawthorn won all their premierships against interstate teams.

    Such a meat and potatoes game this. Close, but meh.

    He’s a “cult hero” apparently 🙄

    Been around for five minutes and already he’s a cult hero. At this rate he’ll be “a legend” before the end of this match.

    Hawthorn won theirs while the rest of the comp was hobbled by the compromised draft with the introduction of both GWS and GC IMO.
    Meanwhile they cherry picked clubs filling their needs with player looking for "success". 
    Found themselves in the right place at the right time.
    Similar story Geelong.
    There's a reason those 2 were on top so long.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
