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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
