So Saints are first on the ladder at 3-0 and Geelong are second last and could be last if they lose tomorrow. 
What world is this?

    Looks like those hard fought wins against umm, Hawthorn and Gold Coast have taken their toll on the Bombers. 

    Happy that the Saints get to celebrate being rubbish for 145 of their 150 years.

    Impressive by the Saints to be 3-0, their injury list is ridiculous.

    St Kilda are playing finals this year.

    They have a laugher of a game next week Vs Gc at Marvel to start 4-0, and they’re only going to get better with Steele, Billings, King, Membery and Coffield to come back.

    Now I’m not saying they’re a flag contender, but then again was anyone saying we were a flag contender after our round 3 2021 win over GWS?

    Feels slightly similar with a comparable buy in factor.

    Cripps was allowed 38 seconds to take that shot lol

    Mostly Carlton players we’re given 38 seconds to incorrectly dispose of the ball - “play on”.

    Did you see the last quarter? He was pathetic.

    Good to see her still sooks it up at his teammates too.

    Yes, his kicks inside 50 were superb.  Ross may have even cracked a smile for one or two of those

    Given Carlton could not make the 8 last year with a good serving of umpires help, the maggots have upped their level to guarantee it.

    Agree. They hadn’t kicked a goal in the second half up until the point where the most pathetic and game changing free you could imagine was paid, for dissent. It was demoralising for the Giants and stopped them cold. It was also one of many wrong calls, all the Blues way, paid by the umpires in that last quarter. Blatant frees to Riccardi straight in front and Hogan also a few metres out were ignored. Then soft ones paid to the Blues.

    I thought Garry Lyon was going to collapse, he was so angry at the dissent game changer call. It came after a blatant dropping the ball against McKay was ignored.

    Kingsley and the Giants must be seething.

    Pretty rich tbh of some of you to talk nonsense about the saints being rubbish forever. We were in the same position only 3 years ago and should have sympathy. 

    They're playing brilliantly with an enormous injury list. To the point where I'm not sure I would be bringing players back (other than Steele) once they are healthy...this collective buy in and balance is so hard to capture.

    Their only concern would be how early it is to be humming this well. But in the very least they should now be aiming for top 6.

    If we don't win it this year, I hope they do.

    Rankine or Thilthorpe could’ve easily won the medal over Dawson.

    And should have. Just goes to show midfielders win everything. Thilthorpe kicked 5 and basically won the game and Rankine was doing everything

    • 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.
