some of st Kilda's handball chains are comical. They are a very average football team.

They've over used it badly.   Particularly when they've done some good work prior through the middle to get it to a decent launching spot then go another handball instead of a quick kick inside and then turn the ball over.

They're also not quite as clean in general vs Port.

If they clean those two aspects up and start winning the odd center clearance they're still a reasonable chance though.

Port are very good rebound / sling shot show ponies and pretty decent at CBs but that's about it.

    Luke Darcy commentary. 

    Boundary dangerous tackle decision. Darcy "he deliberately smacked the ground with his free hand to exaggerate contact". 3 mins later with Alir. "Higgins is in trouble for that tackle as he pinned both arms" 
    Do they realise how f#%*&  stupid they sound?

    You can say that again.  Anything that resembles something that 'might' be a free to Port and that whistle's a blowin' quicker than you can say "Free kick Port"

    Exactly what I was thinking! I wondered if they at some point realised how ridiculous they were being but were too deep into the conversation to stop. Luke Hodge in particular sounded like he was realising the stupidity, mid-sentence. 😅

    Podge = obese.
     

    Obese rhymes with police.
     

    The police were lead by Sting. 
     

    Bees sting and they like flowers. 
     

    So I’ll call Hodge daffodil from now on.

    Hahahahahahahaha, can we get these chips into the balls next year please? Jesus

    2nd edit - I think Daffodil was correct and it was just in.

    Fire that goal umpire. Goal umpire was in the best possible to call that a point. The ball was more than a metre over the line.

    These umpires, just their usual putrid performance. Why do we even have goal line umpires? They can't make a decision to save their lives.🤢🤢🤢

    7 frees to 1 that quarter. 20 to 8 for the game. 

    Port fans still booing the umpires.

    Yes the Adelaide teams always get a bad run from the umpires.

    Ask any Port fan and they will tell you that every one of the 8 frees Saints have got was an incorrect decision.

    how many weeks for higgins

    Shouldn’t be any. If you’re being tackled and still choose to try and make a disposal while off balance and about to hit your head if you hit the ground and choose not to brace yourself/body in favour of the potential disposalit’s all on you me thinks.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
