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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
