I also thought Spargos fwd pressure was very very good.

Anb was solid as well.

A more even team performance except for starring roles from Oliver and Kozzie and Trac.

    Well I thought we would be out paced and out coached.

    I am glad to admit I was wrong. 

    Well done ___. 

    “Well done Simon Goodwin and coaching team”.

    Fantastic performance! Got challanged but rose to the occasion. 

    Don't underestimate this win in such a big occasion like it was for St Kilda.

    Absolutely stoked with that performance.

    We shut down everything the Saints wanted. Massive tick for Goodwin.

    Basic skill errors stopped that being a 50 point win. That’s our next step. 
     

    I was really worried early, after last week and the way we were kicking early I thought they’d carve us up. 
     

    But Jackson into the ruck seemed to be a circuit breaker, then when Gawn went back in we continued the dominance. 
     

    Kozzie lit it up, he’s special. 
     

    Batman and Robin were outstanding in the guts. Saints must love watching Petracca smash em. 
     

    I can’t remember Salem playing with that much energy. 
     

    Liked Jordon and Sparrow’s games. 
     

    Get in!

    Defence outstanding as a group. Tomlinson and Salem the cream tonight IMO.  Last week it was May and Lever. Becoming the envy of the AFL.  You can build a Flag around a great back half.

    Best game I've seen in a long time from the Dees. To be challenged in the second quarter... and the response was very pleasing.

    best game I've seen from ANB as well

    Keep it up Dees

    Tomlinson was fantastic tonight

    I canned him in the game day thread for that deliberate out of bounds goal early in the second , but he definitely was very solid down back and providing rebound out of D50. 
    Collectively take out those ordinary marking mistakes by our defenders and a couple of dubious early frees the saints barely had any genuine goals scoring opportunities

    Lols, listen pal there was an article on this very (illustrious and 100% honest) website that stated the fine folk of Demonland has taken over the reigns of the whole club. Goody shoomody.

    Viney looks slow to me.

    Can he pick it up?

    Great to see the much maligned ANB do well tonight.

    Tomlinson's best game ever.

    Are we allowed to fine forwards for missing easy goals (Fritta)?

    Spargo makes goals happen even if he doesn't hit the scoreboard.

    The Saints could honour Frawley by changing their name to the St Kilda Spuds once a year for Spud’s Game. 

    I think a permanent change would be fitting Ethan!

    Brayshaw a concern, though he did a couple of decent things. Could it be that away from the coalface, he's a bit lost?

    Saints look tired.. might have struggled from the bog last week..

    GWS are favourites next week.. why??

    And one less day's recovery.

    The rain and the extra day were key reasons I tipped us.

    That and I'm a happy clapper.

    I finally watched Rami Malek's Oscar-winning portrayal of Freddie Mercury last night and now it's just a big mental jumble when Jake Lever goes to fist the ball away.

    Well a big improvement on last week, still plenty to work on but we again beat a team who we needed to if we are to make finals. I am not really a fan of ANB, Tomlinson and particularly Goodwin but they all had good nights. 
     

    And I can’t believe there are so many people who think Oliver would be easily replaced, the guys a freak and still has improvement to come.

    Rapt with the win, but just as happy that there was some innovation from Goody. The defensive flooding wasn't helping us in the second quarter and previously Goody would have stuck with it, but he moved things around, got more guys forward and put Jacko in the ruck and it totally shifted the momentum.

    Credit to him.

    I can't believe the love for Cooper's Pale Ale. Should be drinking Cooper's Stout after a win like this.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
