*What you mean β€˜we’ kemo sabe?

Some of us are brimming with confidence. Delusional? Probably. But at the first bounce it’s a clean slate for both sides. Either side can win. Trust that we will win.

*Tonto to the Lone Ranger (Google it) πŸ˜ƒ

But I thought you always bet on the opposition?

Β 

This feels like kind of a watershed game for us. Win and we maintain our top four contention. Lose and we are looking at deep poo.

    I do. But that has no bearing on who I think will win. I do it to soften a loss even though I go into every week expecting a win. It’s the cushion effect. πŸ‘πŸ½

    I reckon you’d be better betting on us when we are underdogs, smarter strategy

    If the Saints are less than six goals up by the time we wake up half way through the second I'm confident we'll run them down.Β

    No, not someone.

    Thousands of people, including professional punters risking serious coin, have backed us to win, which explains why we are 1.33 to win.Β 

    Of course that doesn't mean we will - you only have to go to one harness meeting to understand 1.33 favourites can get rolled.

    But the thing I like about the betting market is we punters do our best to strip out emotion and be as objective as possible.

    After all it's cold hard cash on the line not a throw away prediction or a lead tipping comps.

    (And even if there are some emotion driven punters adding a drip to the pool, a big chunk of them are probably woe us us dees fans backing the saints)

    Which is why the betting market is by far the best predictor of the probable outcome of any given match.

    Β 

    Betting on the favourites is a sure way to end up bust too!

    It’s not about money though. Yes there’s money involved but a Demons win with winnings is exactly the same as a Demons win without winnings, to me anyways. Besides, if it hasn’t been proved already, this season proves that the whole underdog thing means nothing.Β

    Either our mids are not following the game plan or our mids coach Mcqualter has no idea

    I always look at quotes to reactions ratio to gauge a posters propensity to put forward outlandish statements… whilst you are entitled to your opinion, the ratio stacks up well.

    Oh, and Membrey and Stewart Lowe to kick 10 each…

    What are the chances we come out breathing fire?

    First quarters are our worst. 88% percentage

    Puts us behind the 8 ball. Gives other teams a sniff.Β

    Yeah I know but at least if we’re not expected to win and we do you get double enjoyment!

    St Kilda by 10. As usual, we will be goals down at quarter time, then playing catch up for the rest of the game. Too many players either not up to it or out of form, or both. Sadly, Essendon, GWS, Fremantle have gone ahead of us. Sydney, Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane were ahead of us anyway, and Port Adelaide too due to their massive home ground advantage. Like Geelong, I think our window has closed. Our midfield stinks at the moment, without Lever and reliant on TMac and Tomlinson our backline is shaky at best. Petty is non invested, JVR needs to kick goals, it is what he is in the team for. Thank god for Bayley, will probably end up with 50 plus for the year. Oliver not fit, Viney getting to that stage where the decline starts, Tracc can’t be everywhere. Windsor a positive, probably needs to consider his options come 2026. Would be an absolute gun in a top team. McVee is class. Not much else really.

    Posters are allowed to have an opinion and you can’t blame them if they’re pessimistic given our recent form.

    im not confident but hoping for the win. Will continue to support the boys irrespective of the result.

    This is my concern.

    Think we will get done. Last week we looked like a tired side unable to have a go at arresting a deficit against ordinary opposition. The hunger does not seem to be there.

    Hope I am wrong.

    Need a massive improvement from last week and some of our "2nd tier" players to step up.

    We should control the midfield but conversion will be the worry.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Β As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.Β

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
