1.10 is worse then right on Mothers day Lunches

I could think of nothing better to do on mothers than go to the G and watch this one unfold.  

 

I'm not a mother though so what would I know

    We’ve beaten this mob once at the MCG since the 2006 elimination final.

    Saints on an 8 day break should have recovered from their Cairns trip.

    Really hoping we can bank this win as we have some tough fixtures between rounds 11 and 15. Would love to be 10-0 before we face Sydney and Freo at the G.

    We can afford to lose 4 games this year IMO in order to finish top 2. Would rather not use one up today.

    Would you happen to have the breakdown of many times we’ve played them at the G since then? We rolled them last year but that was at Marvel.

    Yeah, we don’t do Mother’s Day at mine. 
    Apparently we do game day…

    Now to work out whose work this is: the hipster uni student or the bedroom-dwelling, PS5-playing teenager. 🤔 

    LOL found these in the bottom of the wrapping. They know I lose/break earbuds on a weekly basis.

    Added a pic of what was almost thrown out with the wrapping paper. 😬

     

    This haven't been tested B/S. The doggies threw everything at us and come up short. As did the Suns Hawk and Tigers. Port is the only team that rolled over.

    Bit too much taking in the media puffing up the Saints. We win this by 27 points.

    They just want a bit of excitement. "Best team wins again" is dull compared to "so-called best team is vulnerable" or "pretenders toppled from top of ladder."

    Wayward Saints seeking salvation. Last seen sliding for a slither of soap in slippery northern slimes. 

    Scraping like seagulls in a slather for seemingly senseless seconds searching for a slim score.

    Media mogul machinations on Mother’s Day may mirror minor minds.

    Determined Demons dastardly dash delusions of disorientated  delinquent delight.

    Saints or sinners saved for slaughter by the last quarter.

    I was more talking about posters in here believing it.

    I don’t have the breakdown handy but I believe St Kilda have won 8 of our last 9 meetings at the G.

    Nervous as all hell.

    (I hated mothers day; something always came 'unstuck' and then it was on....)

    Hope Tom has a great 200th game. Not that you'd know with little fanfare about it.

    But hope we have a good win & we carry him off

    Mothers Day is just the creation of Hallmark and retailers. Surely every day should be considered Mothers Day.

    Expecting to win well.

    At some point we drop a few games during the season.

    Still when look at quality across ground 

    Backs - May Lever Petty Brayshaw Bowey

    Mids - Max Trac Clarry Langdon 

    Forwards - Fritsch Brown

    Running power - ANB Kossie Spargo Sparrow Hunt

    Add system and we look very hard to beat!

    Go Demons!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
