We need a big win if we are a realistic chance at finals

If we play we same intensity and game plan of the last 2 weeks we should win by 50+

I think it's going to be alot tougher then people think, the Saints have some good players and being up north it really brings it closer. If we get out to anything in the way of 4 goals Ross will start flooding the defence and try get us on counter, they could pinch this game.

However if we play near our best we will win I'm not fussed about percentage just want the game style to look as good as last week. Doubt we will make the 8 being effectively 3 games out

given our recent uptick in form, we have every right to be confident

but just remember, we've been beaten by North this year

i hope the team aren't getting ahead of themselves

Agree with you that it’s strange we’re playing St Kilda up there as opposed to a Freo or Port but that might be a good thing??

If I was a Saints supporter I’d be furious about my team having to play this match in Alice.

Been debated for a long time. NT pays us close to $1M for this match.

What is strange is that we are playing a Melbourne based club whereas in the past it was usually an interstate club. If played in Melbourne we would have got a crowd of 30-40k at most which would return maybe $200k. ( Around 25k is considered the unpublished break even number for the MCG).

For me I like it as it helps avoid the killer game in Darwin

Thanks for this breakdown. It's quite the good earner.

Last day of my holiday and I really need a Dee’s win. I’ve flooded the lads footy wattsapp group with the kind of pro Demon propaganda that we read here daily.

Still the most naturally gifted player I’ve ever seen play. Just freakish skills.

Gee watching the footy of Callum Ward being upset is upsetting in itself. Poor bloke. Footy is a cruel game. I really feel sorry for the guy. Hit him really hard. At his age those things can mean a career.

Very important match today. This is the type of game we would normally take far to easy and drop. We are going to find out if we really are back on track or not today.

Bit disappointed Laurie’s the sub. Think he deserves a full game.

On Liam Jurrah, still hold some blame to Mark Neeld, he really failed to see the kind of player Jurrah was and if my memory serves me there was some murmuring’s of racism at the club at the time. I may be wrong on this but it’s how I felt at the time.

I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere yet, but a listener to the DeeBrief podcast created this track which is one of the greatest things I have ever heard and should get everybody HYPED for today's match.

I like it a lot, but there’s one thing about it that stops me from getting too excited by it… that guitar bit that just repeats over and over, sounds too much like…. She’s As Cold As Ice… I [censored] hate that [censored] song so [censored] much, I’m verging on the pathological!! Apologies if I’ve put that awful earworm in anyone else’s brain.

Lyrically it’s very clever…

We need to destroy this mob. Take their soul early and eat it in front of them.

The floggers may be small but they’ll be waved with the usual enthusiasm
