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

    Yep. And Mathieson for good measure.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
