St Kilda are not a top 4 quality side. 

Everyone probably said the same thing about us this time last year when we beat mostly mediocre sides in Freo, Saints, Hawks and GWS and look how that turned out.

Everyone around here will laugh St Kilda off as a chance this year but I think they’ve got the defensive traits to at least make a prelim.

    Being able to win ugly can be the mark of a good side. They’re banking wins. We haven’t looked amazing every week either.

    Big difference is they are going at 100% to bank these ugly wins and today was no doubt a good effort without a ruckman. 
    We are banking wins going at 70% and playing one great quarter.

    Are we spoilt or is Gresham and St Kilda one of the most selfish teams going around Him and King never look around when clear they just go for goal, pretty pathetic. GWS on the other hand need a bloody good hard coach who will trade the deadwood and there is a heap of them..

    Curiously along with Shetland they are the only constituency in Scotland that always votes Liberal Democrat at every election, resulting in absolute fannies like Alistair Carmichael representing us at Wasteminster. 

    Crickey, I mention the Orkney Islands and the well informed folk on Demonland instantly engage, with knowledgable acumen...WON!DERFUL!😁

    Time will tell if this is true or not. I’m not sure how exactly you measure the % a team is going at (although all the commentators like to try) but if King had kicked straight they win that game by 8+ goals and we’re not even having this conversation.

    Giants are finished. Not just this season but in general. No heart. 

    shut them down and pick at the carcass

    I think the Dogs may eventually work themselves into the top 4 (see Brisbane’s slow start last year) assuming they go on a massive run over the next 7 weeks, in which their fixture is easy on paper.

    So I’d have the dogs in, and Freo out of the top 4 from your above scenario. Saints to finish top 4.

    yep, but It’s such a nothing club … and he’s also a bit responsible fr that. In how they play and who they are.

    I think we saw the end of the GWS window tonight.

    What was one of the best free flowing sides in the comp is now but a shadow of its former self.

    Do u reckon?? Their midfield lacks class, forwards are very hit and miss and defence has not had any of the relentless pressure that we exude. Very Meh club, yet to face anyone really!

  • Quote

    St Kilda’s pressure and system is very good. 

    Right now, after the Lions, they are the biggest threat. But their defence is so poor I’m not too worried

    I think losing Toby Green for 6 weeks has killed the group. 
    they are playing to get paid

    In this entirely premature exercise I think it will be...

    Dees (1) v Freo (4)

    Lions (2) v Swans (3)

    Saints (5) v Blues (8)

    Dogs (6) v Cats (7)

    Richmond to resume their rightful place in 9th.

    Green needs to take a lot of the responsibility for this malaise. His actions last year have derailed his team this year IMO

    Looks pretty good to me.

    Honestly forgot about Sydney. Quietly going about their business, racking up wins and will likely finish top 4 and keep the Dogs out of that top 4.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
