    Mrs. Fritta (Fritta’s mum) sat in the cheer squad with us!! How [censored] cool is that?! And Clarrie’s mum does most weeks, too. 
    PS: my flag waving game’s not great. Not too bad though, only concussed a coupla ppl and took out one kid’s eye. That’s a solid 6 outta 10 for a noob.

    Thought Hunt had another very good game, he’s very steady back there.

    Great work from the boys today. Destroyed when we needed to, and absorbed the rest. Scoreboard was flattering for the Saints.

    Wowee Langdon, kept quiet one week and this is what he does? Love it!

    3 games and percentage clear of 4th, with the Roos and Eagles coming up.

    🔥🔥🔥

    38 point win over an in-form and confident Sainters. I will take that result every day of the week.

    Some are disappointed that we didnt massacre them after a fast start but both teams played to win. Its not like they were ever gonna roll over and play dead. The lead was reduced to under 4 goals and we pulled away AGAIN.

    Last year we didnt exactly thrash every team either but look what the end result was.

    Today was a very good win.

    In the lead up I was fairly certain St Kilda would give us a bit of a scare...so it was great to see the boys switched on right from the first bounce. We set the tone in the first ten minutes and allowed us to get on top mentally, which is so important against the Saints who are a big confidence team.

    If Ed doesn't get an AA guernsey the whole thing is worthless.

    And Angus outstanding! Where does Salem fit into this defence?

    Max and LJ easily handled the Marshall/Ryder threat.

    So good to see Kossie sparking and impacting offensively as well as defensively after his week off.

    Buckley's commentating on Fox was quite telling and delivered in awe

    Something about the Saints' pressure being elite at 200 (not sure what that is...) yet, we withstood that pressure and still kicked goals

    I love my team!!!

    This time my feeling was that even if they jag another to get within 16, it’ll take a good 2 to 3 minutes for that to happen

    All I was thinking was that if they had kicked another I would be reading a weeks worth of nuffy posts about how badly we played.

    Agree - I think the reason it was such as good win was because the opposition didn't throw in the towel. The margin in the end was pretty much accounted for by the dominant period we had in the first half. For the rest of the game it was an arm wrestle.

    Beltings require a certain compliance from the opposition. The reason we haven't dealt one out is because we haven't yet had an opponent offer up the requisite surrender. It will come.

    Was in the MCC. Had 6 feral Saints supporters insulting us the whole second half. Called our players ‘flops’. Said we were ‘weak’ and that they had ‘found us out’ and they would ‘beat us next time’. I have to admit that I got drawn in and called them ‘sore losers’. I am so glad we won.

    Our second quarter reminded me of September last year. 

    That's what we're capable of and it's absolutely ridiculous given the pressure St Kilda were applying during that quarter. 

    When we click in all phases, we are simply unbeatable.

    Loved spargos game today. Just fights for everything & never gives up on a contest

    As Meatloaf sang, you took the words…

    Spargo’s off the ball work was massive…halved at least 2 contests where he was outnumbered, tackled to kill the release like he’s the best at it we’ve got. Love the boy!

    Can I say I don't mind the 1:10 game. You leave in the day and I got home at 4:30. I like it. 

    There were plenty of saints fans in the MCC today. They were ok, but when the saints got a little bit of a roll on they certainly became louder. 

     most gave Oliver BOG today but I thought Angus and Ed were much more influential. Brayshaw was brilliant.

    Excellent win. We played good footy especially in the first half and when the saints played well we were able to hold.

    Yeah probably the next 2 weeks.

    GWS gave up. Richmond would have been a belting if we kicked straight.

    Why didn't you tell em you were going to go around to their flats and burn them all down.😇

    Great win! Saints have looked really good at times this year and Never really came close to us, even with their momentum in the third quarter (two goals to our one). 

    Really looking forward to seeing how Salem fits back in the team when he's fit. Gus down back is playing career best football (may've played a career best game today) while Jordan keeps improving on the wing. Good problem to have!

    For those who were watching closely, did St Kilda ever try to shut down Langdon? Seems like they just let him do as he pleased which was surprising considering the effectiveness of Hawthorn's tagging efforts last week.

    Has any team ever gone through the Afl/Vfl season undefeated? Im pretty sure not..Do we look at this as motivational?? (not that we should need any).

    Should we engineer a loss?!! (yes im kidding, i think)

    .....oh the extraordinary problems of a top side.

    Damn. I wish I sat nearby. I would’ve had a lot of fun with that mob.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
