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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
