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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
