Chol is playing very well for the suns. He's been a good pick up for them

Clearly enjoying not having to play 3rd/4th tall. Casboult has been very handy as well - limited player but doesn't lack effort

Wonder if he'd like playing 1st CHF in a top team?

Would need to get Melbourne-fit first though.

A couple of unanswered goals is all the need to put Pies out

Its only one goal to replace them.

 

Looks like 2022 Saints is what everyone was expecting in 2021. Paddy Ryder is just such a game changer for the Saints. More than a little happy to see the Blues go down as well.

 

In a few minutes, we will be the only undefeated team after the first four rounds………. and  we are yet to get out of second gear!  It’s a long season, but gee, we a are a class above right now!

That was so embarrassing from McKay. 

That's absolutely fine worthy

The skills in the last qtr of blues v suns were absolutely disgraceful.

Makes our modest win over GC in oppressive conditions look better now. GC are a very good side at least early in the season and at home.

Back on top, to remain there for rest of 2022

Don't like getting ahead of ourselves but it really is ours to lose. 


Did not see those last 2 games results coming. I gave the saints a chance but to win by that much is great. 

At least we can look down on other teams now

So ... Demons win. Check.

Geelong win. Damn.

Pies lose. Check.

Dons win, just. But in a way that has their fans spitting chips. Pass mark.

Hawks lose. Check.

Blues lose. Check.

I rate this weekend 8/10

I can't get this comment from Goodwin out of my head after the win at GC.

28s mark

Are we seriously just riding games out to preserve our bodies?

I'd say so. Our more chaotic / high pressure style is unsustainable week in week out for 4 qtrs. Looks like if we get a comfortable lead we're content to park the bus.

It was the same as the game against Melbourne. Once the sun goes down at this time of the year the ball is like a cake of soap. That combined with the natural fatigue late in the game.

Percentage can be built by keeping the opposition scores low. If believable what he said we must be the only side that are pacing themselves on game days. We did have 2 short breaks and perhaps a wise decision to not run ourselves into the ground like some other clubs have already done. Defence uses less energy than offence. 

Port game was only game we haven’t been behind at any stage. 
 

Slowly emerging 🙏

Ryder bump very similar to the one May got pinged for in his preseason game for us - should cop a week

shouldn't, and shouldn't have. He  stopped and the "victim" cannoned into him.

FMD does that sheila commentator gargle on gravel?!

She actually seems to have improved her calling, but that voice is inexcusable, regardless of what it says.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
