Max King is weird. Gives off Lloyd or even Jono Brown vibes some weeks. Then other weeks like tonight he gives off Jack Watts vibes.

Watts was a good kick for goal.

    Not sure not being able to kick a goal from 20 metres is necessarily Ratten's fault!

     

    True but missing finals from 8-3 probably is

    Yeah, no easy ones out the back that he seems to love.

    Let’s be honest.

    Saints are a mess, Lions winning plays into our hands as they’ll be pleased with themselves. The Lions style of play suits our defenders.

    I am feeling confident about next week's game. If the Saints can dominate the Lions like today how more can the Dees do it!

    We got Fritta and Brown that are much better kicks than King

    Unless St Kilda have a few guns coming through their reserves It’s hard to see them getting close to a premiership with this group, their just so middle of the road it’s not funny.

    Whilst Brisbane winning is not a great result, if we beat Brisbane next week we’ll still finish higher than them as they’re percentage is a bit below us. 

    We’d have to lose by around the 7 goal mark against Carlton to be behind Brisbane on percentage.

    Not necessarily.

    We could still end up at the SCG if Swans gain a couple of %.

    What is our record at the MCG? lost something like 4 out of the last 5?

    Interstate? Won 11 or 12 in a row.

    BT said they are playing for a home final against us. That’s unlikely. They would need Coll to beat Sydney this Sunday and Carl to best Coll in the last round. It’s the only way. 

    We win both and unless Coll and StK capitulate against Sydney we will have a home QF.

    Saints supporters won't like me saying this but they are going to have to considered a complete rebuild of their list.  

    The way they have put it together is completely lopsided in favour of mature recruits not through the draft, this way has never worked previously.

    A complete waste of 5 years this will be, all this and their ever expanding debt, a club stuck in the wilderness.

    I'm not even talking about that..

    If you and the 3 others who liked it would have any small idea you would know I'm talking about his coaching career thus far at St Kilda.  Max King has nothing to do with this.

    As a collective, his record at St Kilda has been poor. Their recruitment has been a shambles and they are simply no where near challenging anytime soon. Their depth is made up of recycled players who are handy in playing a role against bottom 4 teams but steuggle against the rest.

    There's going to be a significant drop next year and I'll be surprised if Ratten last the journey.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
