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

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
