Is it just me or are St Kilda the most middle of the road team in the comp. I think they will win a good number of games but are miles away from winning a premiership.

A bit premature I think. I agree that they're not likely to make the 8 but I thought that before all the COVID cases. I think their performances have been admirable so far all things considered. This was the borttom 5 and their percentages after 2 rounds last year and 3 of these sides made the 8, so maybe everyone shouldn't be writing anyone off just yet (neither should they be declaring Carlton a premiership chance).

 

BL 2 0 84.5
CA 2 0 78.2
GW 2 0 77.5
ES 2 0 73.9
NM 2 0 48.4

 

Hi SD. I only wrote it as a play on WC and toilet. I agree with you that they're not totally out of the finals picture but losing two of their most winnable games first up will make it very difficult.

Sure. If clubs keep paying you 6 figures and you can get away with doing the bare minimum, why wouldn’t you. 
Just a shame because he could have been anything, but I had a feeling that when he left Melbourne that was the end of his career. I thought he’d plod along and he has. 

Which is why blokes like Phillipoussis and Kyrios couldn't be bothered.
Get paid millions for coasting on natural talent.
Not every-one gives a sheet about being #1.

This game is poor quality fare

Max King begs to differ! 😆

There's a lot of poor teams, but it is only early days. A few will sort themselves out.

Sure, sounds easy. Why doesn’t everyone just become like him. 

I am just like King. Injured and not playing AFL footy.

(unless you mean the OTHER King ...)

You never like to see good players get injured. Then you see it's Essendon and are forced to re-evaluate your whole life.

Max King looks like the weird keyboard player Ron Mael from the band Sparks.

Interesting watching Saints v Freo. Some horrible skills and link-ups followed by breath taking contested marks, tackles and goal kicking. The defensive spread of both midfields is highly questionable at times.

I really like Ratten as a coach, but even he has been unable to push through the glass ceiling of "meh, beige, pedestrian" that haunts this team from the Alan Richardson era. If Paddy Rider and Zak Jones can get back, perhaps something else can emerge.

Freo surely are better than this. Or am I seeing something that isn't there?

St kilda missing 3-4 good players. Ryder, Zac Jones, Billings, Hannebery 

As I’ve stated before they should make finals. King is the difference, could kick 70

Synth pop went out of style so I'm glad he was able to find another vocation

Freo on their home ground have no excuses. No Fyfe no Freo?

Him and his brother Russell are both in their late 70's and still touring Mazer. Edgar Wright (Sean of the Dead) did a big doco on them last year . 

 

Getting a little concerned about a certain bloke who so far, after a couple of years rest has gone close to putting two blokes in hospital in two games. Which brings me to my next observation of how many players seem to being dazed or damaged after heavy tackles. Anyone else notice?

And that is why the Saints are where they are, ordinary list management.

I'm taking comfort in the thought that St Kilda won't play this well again for the rest of the season.

Yeah, but how many goals? 35?

Based on that Max should be able to keep playing until he's 60.

Godfather offer from Geelong?

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
