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.

  • 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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
