Saints kicked/pressured themselves out of that one, surprised they stayed in it for so long but the Pies are in about to fall off the cliff badly with Pendls and Sidebottom on the cusp.

    Biggest arm chop ever and Razor was dead set right in front of it. 
     

    Won’t be talked about how that changed the result 2 goal swing, game done.

     100% should have been a 5 point game with 2 minutes left. Instead I jump on demonland and lose all interest in a heartbeat.

    All I saw tonight was two bottom 6 clubs go at it. Skills and clangers were absolutely horrific.

    Dean Kent may have played his last game. That was an absolute shocker.

    He was horrendous. St Kilda’s lack of skills was shocking. Truly I cannot understand it from a relatively mature list.

    Maybe they made allowances for his disability Mono!

    I didn't know Cox had mono.  but I guess mono lives in cox

     

    Glad we missed out on Brad Hill when we had the chance. Coughed it up nearly every time he had the ball for the Saints in that final quarter. 

    Jack Higgins had an absolute mare.


    Man, I cannot wait until Queens Birthday

    The reason the Saints have only won one premiership in 125 odd years is because they load up on b graders . . . decade in, decade out.

    The filth was the only team that the Demons didn't beat last season.

    Wish we had Razor in our game.

    Except that long range goal he kicked in Perth v Weagles (R 22?) to get us into the finals in 2018. 
    That was pretty good. 
    But yes, otherwise meh.

    Are my eyes deceiving me or is that Duxy with a Saints scarf on....

    Max King still can't kick. You don't pay 900K for guys that consistently kick more points than goals.


    Don’t think either of these sides  will make the 8.

    Both teams very average...

    I think Ratten is in trouble if they keep dishing up this rubbish and I can't see how they won't with that list.

    They needed to do a proper rebuild but got way ahead of themselves when bringing in the likes of Hill.

    Did we ever get the right Freo wingman.

    Expect a Grant Thomas challenge and the s  to hit the fan at some stage of the season.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
