The only thing worse than losing is playing a slow, defensive garbage game style and losing, while at the same time having an deep lack of talent from systemically overrating and overestimating your list. 

I don't see a way forward for the Saints that doesn't involve bottoming out completely 

Phew, I thought you were referring to us in that first paragraph.

    They led Fremantle by 26 points midway through the fourth quarter, in Perth, with most of those players missing.

    I'll believe their demise if/when I see it. Until then, I fully expect them to keep winning.

    Just an observation. When we got stiffed by the dangerous tackle call against Carlton. Crickets from the media. Isn’t it funny when it happens to Collingwood how it makes prime time. They go as far as calling the incident between the umpire and Sidebottom a few minutes earlier too citing some conspiracy to get him back.

    it does my head in and biased the media is in this town.

    Sidebottom and Pendlebury will do that to a team's average age.

    I hate Cox ... I wish to point out that I'm talking about the player, not spelling something else phonetically.

    On that point, isn't it odd that 'phonetically' isn't spelt phonetically?

    Night all.

    Am i hearing right the 7 nuffies are talking about the Swans suffering from fatigue after a rough fixture?

    Something about 5 day breaks?

    They've never had worse than a 6 day break with most of them 7 / 8 day breaks.

    Then this little gem "Collingwood's been decimated with injuries".

    You can't make this stuff up

    If the Swans had our draw, they wouldn't be sitting pretty at the top of the tree.

    That much i know, they've had one of the greatest Geelongesque type armchair rides to a Final series ever.

    • 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.
