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.

    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

    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.

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

    Godfather offer from Geelong?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
