Saints playing an impressive version of the gamestyle Goody is trying to instill in us.

We play the Saints twice on way home, huge games to come.

Impressive?

They played against a side who turned in one of the all time awful performances. Says more about Fremantle than St Kilda IMO.

They lost their last two games by a combined 116 points.

    i thought our i50 delivery was bad…

    As I said earlier, we were ahead of the curve.

    Hopefully, we have moved on from this experiment.

    I've had a great respect (and a bit of irrational fear) re Freo since they broke our winning streak in 2022. They've been awful tonight.

    They are a bit like that broken clock that is still right twice a day.

    He had one good game, and there has been a bit of an overreaction.

    Heart and soul player, prob thought sparrow would kick on more than he has. I don’t think Harmes would make a difference in our side this year or last.

    Port dropping away.

    At least we had 2021. Must be horrible as a Port supporter thinking of those missed opportunities

    crom the in the mid-00s, aints in the late 00s, pear in the late 10s-20s, flagmantle...forever

    premierships are hard to win and should be savoured

    Freo and Port both having bad wobbles means the chase to pass them on the ladder is a real one.

    Hell, Carlton could be in the eight by the end of today.

    A bit harder for us with our garbage percentage.

    Unless one of the current top 8 also has a few wheels come loose the gap could be too much and everyone except the current 8 and Carlton could be competing for 9th.

    That said... there's a realistic stumble risk from each of Adelaide, GWS, Geelong and, notwithstanding their obviously growing confidence, the Bulldogs. Plus, the Suns always go down at the end of the day.

    And I, for one, am still not discounting a total implosion by either or both of Hawthorn and Collingwood.

    True and i'd feel much better if in any 20-30 year window every team was able to win at least one premiership.

    When you have the likes of Lions, Hawks, Pies & Cats taking 80% of the premierships in the last 30 years ( i made the number up but it feels about right), then it just feels like you have to work extra hard and things have to go extra right to win one.

    Lions - in the modern era, handed a number of top 5 picks as F/S and academy players
    Pies - fanbase and subsequently fixturing gets them a better run that every other team
    Geelong - blatant cheating with a narrower ground, extra salary cap and the head of AFL commission bending over backwards to give them every possible advantage conceivable.
    Hawks - I feel like they are just bread to win premierships. no particular advantage springs to mind, but an ability to attract the right people.

    I have been lucky enough to be away for three weeks and not see any football. I have watched the night games this week and a bit of this match some of the worst football I have seen for a long time.

    Dogs must be making some decent coin playing in Ballarat if they're happy to see 15,000 supporters miss out on attending today's game. Capacity must have been around 5,000.

    Reckon he would be tracking this well if he was still at The Demons? I certainly don't.

    Change of environment was good for him, and he is a solid player - very happy for him.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
