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. 😅

    Or podge. 
     

    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

    Wait was that in??

    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
