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.

 

Happy Birthday Bella ??

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”.

Fixed

 

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.

I'd just like to endorse all the other posters in their praise for Goodwin outcoaching Ratten.

It was all Yze and Richo’s influence - jk jk 

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. 

I am satisfied with the result. Back to my coopers pale ale.

Funnily enough I watched it a couple of weeks back too.

Didnt think of lever. Will now.

Fun film but best actor oscar?  Please

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: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
