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

    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: 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.
