POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs St Kilda

[Demonland 74,441]

The Demons got back on the winner's list and finally got some breathing space for the time being in the Top 4 with a hard fought 21 point win over the Saints at Marvel Stadium.

[Dee Zephyr 19,312]

I call that a professional performance. Well done Demons!

[layzie 34,528]

Live to fight another day!

Thank god I didn't pay for my tickets tonight 

[Jaded No More 68,976]

The irony isn’t lost on me that we won this game because we kicked better than the Saints

Take a bow Trac..

Great kicking effort and turnaround.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Best win since 2020.

Backs against the wall against a top team at full strength.

[GCDee 3,202]

Geese that win felt a lot like a loss. 

Thank god for May and Trac. 
 

Grundy and Gawn need to take a long hard look at them selves letting Marshall completely dominate that game. 

time for Kozz to head to Casey

Couldn't understand the negativity on the Game Day thread - it was a high pressure game.

The Aints were fighting us for a top four spot and the came hard at us. We absorbed it and kicked a winning score against a good defensive side.

We did enough and ... FFS .... took the 4 points.

And ....

Woey - a very promising debut.

BBB - good signs and added a positive factor to our forward line.

S. May - You will not see a better defender's game. BOG !!!

Very happy to get the win, but will need to be improving steadily from here to have a chance of doing something in September. Hopefully the start of our run!!! 👌💙❤️

[Clintosaurus 7,953]

Absorbed plenty. Got the 4 points. Sad sacks still gonna be sad.

[IRW 1,388]

The coach said straight kicking was a quick fix.

Now for a forward line and AFL standard footy

[layzie 34,528]

Wasn't pretty but a win is a win is a win.

[Phil C 734]

I’m overseas so Kayo won’t play ball. The game day thread sounded like we lost by 10 goals. Apparently we won according to the AFL app! Jeez the negativity on here is epic. 

[Demon_spurs 1,984]

Anybody looking forward to Brisbane next week?

[P-man 13,367]

Positives:

Maysy. 

Trac remembering where the big sticks are.

4 points.

[Stinger 463]

Not overly convincing given the situation. But blimey we needed it! One game and percentage clear now. Thank [censored]. 

[Gorgoroth 13,220]

Putrid.

Gawn and Grundy got belted.

Taj was good for his first game.

Still don’t have the effort and intensity we should.

May BOG by a mile.

Still a lot of dumb decision making, game plan still seems non existent.

Saints were big, if they don’t have the injuries we lose this. 

 

[layzie 34,528]

Well done to Trac, the man that can't 'kick straight'

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,632]

We battled hard to overcome an injury ravaged St Kilda team. It’s an important 4 points but wouldn’t be mentioning this game again. 

Top 3: May, Melk and Trac. Taj did some nice things pity about the goal. 

Kozzie terrible. He looks so unenthused. Shadow of his former self.

Will neee to be A LOT BETTER next week.

 Onwards, hopefully we find some form and belief while missing important guys.

We need to increase about 15% to be a decent chance.

Brisbane are.

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Fumbles Grundy wasn't terrible 

[Billy 2,576]

That was as bad a win I’ve witnessed since we were a bad team
