    Look even more average!

    Yep, correct !!

    Team of average skilled fumbling footballers.

    Cant question effort, but need polish 

    We need to offer Burgess kids jobs and a house to move to Vic and get him back.

    If we don’t win this game it is time for some serious discussions at the club. 

    Stoker has been off injured for the last 15 minutes so they only have one on the bench

    Poor choice by Trac, either have the shot or that’s gotta go 10 meters out.

    Poor choice to kick it to Grundy?

    i know what you mean

    Do we have another gear?

    It's not a motoring show...

     


    If we lose this it will be as a result of losing the 2nd ball to the Saints .

    Very few crumbers at the drops,  shocking at loose ball gets and contested ball gets.

    Can't maintain a chain beyond about 3 or 4 possessions

    Still cant find targets inside and not enough forwards lead or time their leads at all towards the ball carrier.

    Talls / mediums continue to sit back at the top of the square or just outside the goal line.

    Where are the short shallow kicks (on occasions) to a leading forward around 40 to 50 meters out to at least maintain possession, have a shot at goal, eat up the clock and give our mids a rest and HBs more time to set up an effective wall??????????

    The Saints were dominated for most of that quarter and we could still barely convert after so many entries.

    Forward craft Pffft!   CRAPPOLA!

    Might be time for Kossie to have a spell at Casey. He's been underwhelming for weeks

    Time was about three weeks ago.

    Our coach clearly is from South Australia, constantly behind the times.

    That was due some time ago.

    I am surprised you didn't notice.

    Smith to come on - a couple goals in the last please….

    We all honestly know we are a bottom 8 team.

    We all wish we were a ruthless, team oriented smart team.

    disappointing performance, lack of running and chasing by a few players are keeping the saints in this. even though they are tired they are committed i wish i could say the same about all of our players.

    Poor choice to play Grundy

    I'd much rather have JVR down there.  Or Smith!

    Grundy is not the answer.

    Tap bros experiment should have been killed off three or four weeks ago.

    Grundy sub (at best)

    This is the dirtiest Umpire effort to make one side competitive i have ever seen.

    It's just so one sided. We are not playing well, but they are just a dirty side, and a lot dirtier with Jones in it.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
