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”.

    Essendon is putrid, regardless of ball use.

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
