    So frustrating to watch. Billings can surely never play firsts again 

    Was extremely lucky to land on any AFL list chook.  But we are made of sterner stuff apparently and able to absorb the chaff that no one else wants

    No, but many possible reasons. He might be injured, unavailable or simply not good enough (or not committed enough). Who knows - and we get so little info from Casey, we just have to guess at the reason, which is unfortunate. I’ve never seen him play, so I shouldn’t comment, but could it simply be that some DL’s have jumped the gun on this player?

    He is a class above most on the Casey list NC when he turns up.

    However, he is also the Scarlet Pimpernel of the VFL.

    Will need a few matches to get back to somewhere near his best surely.

    Not the quickest by foot but composed with ball in hand and can snag the odd goal.  One of the few players in the team who lowers his vision, angles his kicks coming inside and hits free targets instead of blazing away most of the time.

    It actually worked pretty well. We lost by 3 points against a top 4 side. 

    We are consistently losing close games.

    Our method / management / application of red time both at the end of many quarters and matches is poor at best.

    Just kick it off the blo#dy carpet was one used as nausem by my father. 

    That first goal of ours by Jeffo in a few nano seconds was dare I say it..... champagne football.

    I used to play carpet bowls at my Nan's and can't recall ever kicking the balls off the carpet

    We really have reached peak Elon Musk problems when Demonland is being affected.

    Pls tell me Dick Dastardly (masterful toe cutter) hasn't cut funding to our beloved Demonland!?? (among so many other magnificent achievements).

    By the way, shouldn't he be wearing a suit?  What is the world coming to.

    Crazy good game to watch as a neutral

     

    Amazing brave mark from the young Irish kid O'Connell - probably saved the game

    Super gutsy.  Wilkie was fab especially his 3rd Q.

    Wood, Marshall, Owens, Jones, Higgens, Windhager, Hill among others.

    Saints played red time nicely and up till about the 5 - 8 minute mark of the final Q they were consistently lowering their vision and looking to hit up the short / 45 targets including when they were coming i50.

    Looks like they're starting to play the way Ross is training them.  Kudos to him and their list on that win tonight.  Nights like this can sometimes make or break a club's season.

    A long way to go but a very impressive win.

    It will only get wider when the Tassie side joins in…

    As much as i agree Tassie should be part of the AFL, adding another Team to the Competition could be very dangerous 

    Need to shorten the season once they come in also.

    Play each other once and kill off the stupid fixture with 5 random rounds of only a few select teams playing each other twice.

    A message to our Younger Members on here. 
     

    In the 70’s and 80’s going out to Windy Hill (Essenthing’s Home Dump) was a seriously dangerous task, i am not joking. 
    They wanted to fight and see blood. It was a long train ride home.
    And when Sheedy came along in 1981 it actually got worse.
    So don’t ever have any sympathy for the Essendrug FC. If they ever become extinct, celebrate hard….

    100%.  You would often be under threat just going for a pee out there.

    The Dawks, Cats (only at Tax Payer Park though), Peptides and Filth were always in your face, even after a win.

    The Toiges supprorters were also the same around the Richmond area and its local pubs post match.

    Even the Vic based Swanny supporters have been absolute arragont a'holes over the years.

    Some of the worst stuff i've ever heard at the footy also came from the Saints grog squad (yep even they had one at one stage) during the 2006 finals series.  As feral as you'll ever see that night.

    Never forget or forgive ppl.

    Those young kids would have spent a lot of energy winning last week, and good luck to them. But the long grind will begin today 

    Absolutely.  Only Rnd 2 and already so many blow outs.

    Some of these matches are gonna be unwatchable.

    Early days but it seems like gulf has widened even further this season for some teams.

    Blitz is always a good read...

    Just as well we postponed the Gold Coast game or we would be 3 zip.

    Stop trying to win you are not good enough

    This is pure Essington baby. Gonna be one hell of a year.

    I wonder if the guy that delivered the horse manure at Richmond years ago is still around? We should recruit him!

    There’s always a silver lining. At least we don’t have to worry about the post bye collapse, we are already there.

    Jack watts was a better number 1 pick.
