Damn you for making me notice it. It drives me nuts now!!

Just called Bailey Williams. 

There's only one player on the ground with that surname.

Thankfully Bailey Smith isn't playing.

    Looks like free kick Bulldogs is back in vogue, currently 10 to 2.

    Both are very poor defensively so the Saints should be able to claw a fair chunk of this back if they play fast smart footy

    I find it ironic Joel Selwood would give advice on how not to draw a high free kick like its something he never did.

    A bit like Leigh Matthews carping on about not hitting people behind play!

    If I were a St Kilda fan, I don't think I would have survived the 2004-2010 period with zero premierships to show for it.
    Just imagine we lost in 2021 and exited this period with no premierships. It would be intolerable.

    I have a few friends who are Saints fans who have lost all interest in the club since 2011. So sad.

    This is classic Dogs under Bevo. Needs a ‘backs against the wall, us against the world’ mentality to get them up.

    It’s consistency that’s there issue.

    Fortunately for St Kilda my 4  Sainter mates have stayed as members.

    This will be a laughable opinion to many, but it’s why I don’t think Ross Lion is all he’s made out to be. He took over saints after all the hard work had been done and no flag. 

    Then leaves when they start going south. 
     

    Then he inherited Freo after all the hard work had been done, no flag. 

    Then leaves when things start going south. 
     

    If he wins a flag after returning to the saints then I’ll own up to how dumb this comment is. But that’s an ‘if’ he gets them to win a flag but…
     

    That St. Kilda team in the 10,11 years especially, was filled with so much A grade talent, it’s actually absurd they didn’t win a flag. And that team was gifted to Lion just like Freo. 
     

    No flags.

    Not sure if the TV commentators have mentioned it (as I'm listening via SEN app) but there was absolute bedlam for people getting to the ground tonight. Power outage on the train lines and the trains weren't even stopping at Southern Cross before the game. Then everyone jumped in their cars and the roads were stuffed. Hence pretty poor crowd.

    I know a lot of St Kilda supporters 

    i honestly don’t know how they can be bothered 

    They were Favourites to win this earlier today…

    They did this with Easton Wood. They never called him ‘Wood,’ It was always ‘Easton Wood.’

    The funny thing is that for all their problems... Dogs are only one game behind us

    By the end of the weekend we will probably be 8th

    It's a long season

    Probably the Sunbury line DW.  I use it for work and every day there's either an illegal trespasser on the tracks, a police incident at a station or a power outage somewhere that shuts down the line on the way home.

    It tends to be players with surname type first names.

    I first noticed it with Mitchell White of WC Eagles about 30 years ago. Continued with Fraser Gehrig et al. Although that BT moron used to call him "Fraser" sometimes. 

    This discussion is more interesting than the carnage taking place at Doglands.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
