POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

[Demonland 72,521]

After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

Get a hearse for the Naarm Smith curse!

I wouldn't read too much into this game.  St Kilda's pressure and effort was non existent.

That's more like it !!

We were a bit scrappy early but  a burst of class in the 3rd quarter did the business . After that, apart from a couple of disappointing junk time goals, we smashed them.

PS . You will never see a better ruckman than Max Gawn !

PPS. That new player, Thommo I think his name is, did ok too.

[Demonsterative 3,020]

100 points on the scoreboard 🤩

[layzie 33,882]

4 points is 4 points

Pity we got smashed by the 2nd worst team in the comp last week ain’t it

[BDA 22,785]

Well done thommo. great game.

[Tom Dyson 1,633]

Tom McDonald, that is all. 

[layzie 33,882]

What a game from Tommo! Top 3 at least 

[Phil C 728]

Tommo great inclusion. Max just huge as always. Petty and McAdam can go in the bin. 

[Gorgoroth 12,980]

First half was as boring as I’ve seen in a while, second half when we played on from the marks was really good to watch.

[spirit of norm smith 16,487]

Last 3 goals to the saints. Cost me $200 win !!! FFS. Went defensive when 9 goals up 

[BDA 22,785]

defence were excellent. hardly missed a beat in Lever's absence (other than the last 5 mins. annoying conceding those junk time goals)

[layzie 33,882]

Let's not forget the other Tommo. T-mac 9 marks, 4 contested.

[The heart beats true 18,129]

Lever to go forward. Backline don’t need him. 😂

[KLV 1,765]

Why was petty subbed? Injured?

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Don't drop Tommo.

Thanks Max.

Anb back to his best.

We missed Langers.

Great response from the club.

[layzie 33,882]

Maxy best on ground by a mile. Made Marshall look like a right carthorse.

Petty is woefully out of form. Maybe just not a forward I guess. It happens.

Credit to Lachie Hunter. Thought he was pretty good today.

They looked at his foot, but supposedly more precaution than an injury.

maxy best. viney very good as well

[Hopeful Demon 1,517]

Last 5 minutes were annoying but that was a solid win overall. We moved the ball much quicker which was good to see.

Gawn was unreal. His tapwork was as good as it's been in years. 

A big shout out to Tmac as well. He's been outstanding this year.

$100 for me. I absolutely hate over/unders or margin bracket legs in a MFC game but got sucked in.
