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.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
