Pies a genuine chance to miss the 8. not just being 0-3 but how they are playing

its a beautiful thing

Listen to Ross Lyon pregame on Fox

He knew exactly who to target, and where to do it. 
I know a lot of people don’t like Ross, but he is extremely sharp in his strategies

David Kind now jumping on the saints as how ‘amazing were they last night’

Were the saints amazing??? I thought Collingwood were awful more than Saints were good. Lots of saints goals came from Collingwood players making BAD errors that other top teams aren’t going to make. 

He would be a great customer at Baskin and Robbins trying out a different flavour each month.

David King tipped St Kilda to finish in the top 4 on Fox Footy's first crack preview show prior to round 0.

Matthew Lloyd is the one that jumps on and off a team at the drop of a hat, particularly when it comes to the MFC.

Round 0 loss to Sydney - "Melbourne are finished"

Round  1 win over Dogs - "Melbourne are a genuine flag contender, don't worry about that"

Lloyd might be a flip flopper, but he's got nothing on King.

Just on us this season so far King:

  • pumped us up - don't sleep on the dees
  • days later on the season preview of first crack (before a game had been played) he picks us to miss finals
  • he then puts us back in his eight on the next first crack (which was after our round win over the dogs)

Don't worry, he's jump off the saints soon enough.

Saints mids are poo. Not a threat.

I thought he was pretty down on us from well before the first game.

I think the flip flopping would be a tactic. He's often quite irrational and bases he's opinion on teams based on 'feel'.

Even the fact that we're talking about him is a win for Mr. King.

But taunting Brisbane fans that they've only beaten the bottom team would be a perfect two-flavoured ice cream.

Current standings of this thread's mini tipping comp (only chance I'll get to be on any leader board anywhere):

Equal top:

@Timothy Reddan-A'Blew, @dl4e

Equal third:

@whatwhat say what, @Bombay Airconditioning, @Master Chief

Now, c'mon Crows. For so many reasons.

That goal, was it from the Wayne Harmes flank ? Not Collingwood's lucky part of the ground 

It was always a goal!! 😁

I was at that game but a long, long way from the Harmes incident as we were seated in the top deck behind the Punt Road goals at the opposite end of the MCG.

Let me say without hesitation, without doubt and unequivocally that I can absolutely, cross my heart, 100% guarantee that by that late stage of the game I was so drunk I couldn't even see the other end of the ground but can confirm that indeed it was definitely a legitimate goal.

Honestly that is a lot better than many would have feared. He looked in a very bad way when they showed a glimpse of him waiting to be loaded into the ambulance. Absolutely stone-faced.

Feels like it has been a rubbish start to the season for injuries.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
