We looked similarly good for half a quarter in NT. We've been well on top of them but Saints have locked down games multiple times all year. They are a hardcore "margin minimisation" team. Give them a sniff and they score quickly.

    Lindsay let that tackle go.

    One umpire said not 15, while the other was screaming pay it, pay it. Didn't have much choice but to let go. Chaos

    Windsor looks great around stoppages, early days but his best game for the year

    Kozzie getting heaps of attention

    He destroyed them last time we played. Same as NWM did us. No wonder they’re paying him close attention.

     

    The bump on XL far more problematic than the May incident last week—was intentional and was not a play on the ball. But it won’t even result in a fine much less a suspension.

    Would be nice to c JVR grab a game by the scruff of the neck and take off from there.

    Had one of his worst games for the year against them what are you talking about ?

    Sterling quarter of footy. 6 marks inside 50 and delivery some of our best this season. Leading tackles 21 to 12 as well.

    If we started more games this year with even half this intensity I'd have no doubt we'd be playing finals.

    I hope we don’t switch off.

    Expect a few changed tactics from Ross, which will get the Saints back in the game.

    My mistake I got the rounds confused

    Still, he’s our most damaging player

    100%. Intentional front on bump late after the ball had left the area. Barely registered a free kick and won't even get looked at. The game is f****d

    My god after 30 minutes after getting in I finally found a seat.

    It was like a maze. Every part of level 3 we went to was shut & the part that was open on the wing was packed.

    Now found a spot behind the goals.

    This stadium is frustrating

    Thanks. I'll stop feeling guilty about never going to Darklands.


    Fantastic Fritta with five marks.

    Vintage Viney.

    Precision from Chin.

    Prolific Rivers.

    Our best quarter for the year.

    Good start today. Amazing what a difference more accurate shooting does...

    Good to see Fritsch smashing it in the air and on the scoreboard!

    Fritsch looking very good. Playing as a half forward provides so much more options up forward with the separation and making us a lot more unpredictable.

    He isn’t as physical as McCreery, but similarities are there in terms of the hard running Fritsch has been doing over the last few weeks, first class.

    The goal sense that Fritsch possesses at his best cannot be coached. Hoping he doesn’t leave.

    Yeah unfortunately windhager smashed kozzy last time, revenge today i hope

    Why take Fritsch off? It's not like he was gassed

    Sums up our year

    Zero common sense

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
