Port, Carlton & Melbourne will be happy. They've moved up a draft spot ahead of the Saints.

Did any of us really want the win in that one? 
Terrible game of footy.

Wanted to lose by a point but I ran into one of the young players this morning and felt bad about that mindset we

Why would you not use the sub?

Yze cooked

Yze said post-game that it based on how the game was playing out and he decided not to use Green. He also added that we've previously not used the sub, so it wasn't something new.

VFL team also playing for a top 6 spot. Can Green now be a late in and play a full game tonight in the ressies?

Yze stated that Green can play in the VFL tonight if we decide to go down that path.

[Francois Jackson]

why would we not want to beat those pricks?

weird logic. I wanted to win.

we would not have moved up so that cant be the reason.

terrible performance IMO. Some senior players like Balta and Hoppers had shockers.

[WilliamPowell]

Seriously! Really poor kick Tim. We had 4 players free running at HF and we kick to a 1 vs 3 .

Forget 4 blokes free

He was less that 40 metres out he could have kicked it himself

As for Kaspy 

I know the the draft picks are important but we should have won that game

And I peeved we didn't

[eliminator]

 Really annoyed lost that game.

[cub]

Always want to win
 💩  game

Feel sorry for stkilda supporters
They will never be anything

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I’d really like a 6th win. History says the really rubbish teams sit at around 5 wins. 6 and more feels like a real improvement. We’re in that group with Dees, Bombers, Saints and Roos this year. Will be interesting to see who stays there next year and who improves

"Are you actually, genuinely trying to win?"

Kane Cornes fires up at Adem Yze for letting Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera run free against the Tigers on First Up:

This made the Clangers segment on the fox footy show Bounce.

Taranto had Campbell running towards 50 on his own plus Lynch and Balta inside 50 free for the easy hit up. Instead, he went for Mansell vs 3 Saints defenders.
