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.

    Umpire killed the game. Surprise surprise. 

    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.

    Forgettable career i would have thought.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
