The Tigers made the running for most of the night but the Demons worse them down particularly with thanks for their accuracy in front of goal. Youngster Jacob van Rooyen announced himself with three final quarter goals.

They just beat bottom three club Hawthorn with a last ditch effort late in the game. Yes, they are still aiming for the finals but I’m not convinced.
