Melbourne fail to beat the Cats without Danger and Jezza..... ******* pathetic.

They were missing Oliver and GMHBA stadium is a distinct advantage for the Cats.

Dees have been terrible all year. Bit of an indictment on the comp they are top 4.

Plus dees have looked very slow since 2021. Which is the one area the cats are good at. Once the ball got into space the dees had no answer.

The dees used to be fast. What happened?

I know they lost Darren Burgess to Adelaide which I think has played a huge part in it coming undone. They looked so much better in the couple of years he was there fitness wise.

The other thing is there speedy players are also out of form. When they aren’t getting involved it makes them look a lot slower.

When does hawthorn play. At least we play entertaining footy. Last nights and now this one have been crap

4 weeks I’d say. Intent

Interesting to see the AFL bulldust if they award less penalty

Ralph just said no case to answer. Maybe a week low impact not high. For mine it was textbook what the afl want to not happen. Guy even lifted his legs to apply his full weight to the sling

Is Ralph a saints fan?

Am I the only one watching other games and thinking, 'man, we'd totally beat both these teams..'?

It had the potential to cause injury and the potential to be high contact so four weeks is about right

Don't really see how that could get less than Day's 2 weeks.

Anyone else notice how players don't shepard for their teammates any more?

Totes agree. At least we’re trying something new.

Saints aren’t very good and the lions aren’t much better.
Door is wide open for us next year to sneak into the finals.

Sneak in?

We'll kick the f'en door down & storm in!

Man I went tonight with a diehard saints fan and gee their supporters are fairweather but I kinda sympathise with them, they are so bad and Dougal may well be the worst key back in the comp getting a regular game.

Also can we please steer clear of Gresham

Does my head in. All look for the cheap stat rather than protect the ball carrier

Gresham would a completely different player under Sam Mitchell.

For the cost though? I personally can’t see it. Very lazy footballer but supremely skilled

Saints fans convinced he’s off to Carlton they can’t stand him

There was an occasion several weeks ago where Caminiti opted to kick a goal instead of handballing to Gresham in the goal square. Gresham chose not to celebrate with him; he actually turned his back on him from memory.

I’ve seen Higgins look not too pleased for something similar when a player kicked a goal that was probably going through. Saints are in a bit of a mess with lack of leadership and direction. There are a few sides we will jump pretty quickly, St Kilda one of them, if we haven’t already.

lots of average/inconsistent teams this season, and both Geelong and Richmond having mixed seasons but are 1 game and 1 game and a bit outside the 8.

 

[grumbleguts]

Michael Tucks 70th birthday. (same as my dad's (83rd)) Geelong might give him a call.
