Ross Lyon should be banned from coaching in the AFL. 
 

So he’s an improvement on the coach that they appointed and then sacked?

    Good win. Nothing to get overly excited about (unless you’re Steven May) but a game that was completely dominated by us and never really in doubt. 
    Saints are rubbish but you only need to be off by about 5% to get a hiding from other teams this year. The gap between 2nd and 16th on any given day is as small as I can remember.

    Individual comments: Gawn not slowing down one iota, getting better if anything. Tomlinson great (but gives away a lot of needless frees), Tmac a revelation. Hunter is a million times better than Billings. Midfield looks much better with Kosi and ANB getting meaningful minutes. 
     

    Also good to get to 100 without any real influence from Petty, McAdam and just a cameo from Fritsch.

    7-4 is a good spot to be. It’s anyone’s flag this year.

    Windsor looks like he needs a rest, so a full game for Woewodin next week 

    Maybe Jefferson in for McAdam

    ANB has been good at centre bounces

    Van Rooyen was better this week still young so lots to like and to build on.

    Nibbla 27 @ 74%, 12 contested and 2 goal assists, 11 centre bounce attendances, he’s above a role player now 👏🏻 

    would’ve been nice to win by 50 instead of 38 but we’d put the cue in the rack and benched Max and a couple of others. Did what we needed to do and comfortably beat a weak opponent.

    Am I convinced we’re back? No but it’s better than last week. 

    Like all these comments , ANB is getting undroppable 50 points would have been very nice and totally agree with your last

    How long can they keep M King? Surely he'll look for greener pastures in the near future, maybe some red and blue pastures? 😏😏😏

    We're so lucky to have Max. I lived overseas for 20 years and never saw Dean Cox play. The only other ruckman I'd rate alongside him is Simon Madden who was a far better forward.  

    Jimmy Stynes would go close as would Jeff White.

    We have been lucky.

    But Max is one of the all time greats of the game.

    Yup. I watched Jim play up until the early nineties but never saw Jeff White either.

    Beg to differ.

    It puts us not just back in the eight but top four again.

    Had we lost it would be a disaster.

    Scrappy at times but if we had not conceded junk time goals in the end it would have been a drubbing.

    Great win.

    Haven't read this thread yet.

    I assume posters, even the ones convinced we are hopeless, have given us full credit and not putting some sort of asterisk on it.

    The ladder doesn't lie.

    Fourth on the ladder close to the halfway part of the season with our toughest games and schedule behind us.

    Go redleggers.

    This mirrors every other game against poo teams like Richmond and Hawthorn. One half of both sides making our eyes bleed, before we cruise away in the second half and win by plenty. Even the West Coast game wasn’t that different except we forgot the skipping away bit.

    Love the Langdon to half forward move. He killed it. Huge vote of confidence in Windsor to play the opposite wing to Hunter.

    I will legit cry the day Max pulls the pin.

    We still have two games against the old enemy, must win at least one 🤞🏻.

    Are you kidding didn’t you see them on the game day thread, when Saints flooded the back half and just nullified the game in the second quarter. They went quiet for most of the second half but were back posting late with us giving up late goals when the game was done.  Ffs you just can’t help some of these posters

    no, i was at the game, so no interest in match day threads - i only go on those when i'm watching on the teev

    Not sure about the fixture point. 

    We still have Collingwood twice, Fremantle twice, GWS, Port, Essendon, Brisbane in Brisbane, GC on the GC and the Dogs at Marvel.

    Still four more interstate trips (Essendon by contrast have just two).

    We’ve done well enough given the early travel but there are plenty of challenges on our fixture still to come.

    It stalled out in the late second quarter but the impressive thing was showing a propensity to move the ball with some flair and dash.

    A proper commitment to midfield Nibbler, midfield Kozzie and the big one Langdon high half forward. We finally got a midfield that was prepared to run and make options! 

    Seems like we finally got the drive we’ve been wanting from Salem, Rivers, Bowser and McVee.

    Looks like we abandoned dropping a half back in to a nothing spot and actually got them up around the ball  thank god.

    A whole lot to work on and St Kilda were truly dreadful but the plan was spot on.

    Salem was the Supreme Architect this afternoon. Back to his precise, poised, best. We are an 80% better team with him playing like that. Very impressive.

    and the Saints paid him no respect and left him unmarked.

    My main takeaway was Kozzie please more on ball and centre bounces.

    This win gives me confidence we're still a contender. Liked having Salem back in his old role given he'd been pushed into the middle with an extra defender in the side. Defensive unit had the right balance, Tommo is a great Lever insurance but probably just that. Hunter had a strong return showing. Gawn is still scarily dominant even with an injury niggle. On the other hand, don't know how the Saints have managed to go downhill this much in such a short time.

    Would love to have gotten a bit more out of Petty and McAdam, but ok to persist with this forward set up until Melksham comes into the fold. Langdon's got a bit of unutilised forward craft. 

    Persist? With Petty who is NOT forward? Nar play Jeffo, see what he offers!!😇

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
