    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
