A win is great, and I don’t want to be that guy but we will need to be a lot better against the Dockers and the Pies. Good in patches, but sloppy in others. 

Having said that, Maxy, a million points for his performance. TMac and Tommo good, May good late. Good to see Roo get a few on the board. Kozzie was dangerous and very good in the middle.

Bank the win, but gotta sharpen up from here.

    Good response Dees. We’re in 4th position after 11 rounds which is essentially half way. Could be much worse like being Brisbane.  
     

    Also have Saints improved anything under Lion? They look as average as ever at the moment

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

    Well it definitely hasn’t been from overuse this season

    Max Gawn forgot he was a 'only' a ruck again.

    Led the game for clearances and score involvements, at 88% disposal efficiency.

    Nod to Nibbler who continues to turn his workrate into real effect.

    Nod to Viney who held the sludge-wave under control during the grotty second quarter when our midfield was well under expectations.

    And a smile and a nod to Salem who has probably done himself a world of good by having such a busy and effective day.

    Most importantly, a much shorter 'tail' this week compared to a number of recent games.

    Kozzie's baby has ear protectors on.  Gets pretty noisy in there for a little bub.

    I thought Christian Salem continued his midfield form despite chopping disposal a little

    Are you one of these people who play Footy without keeping scores, so that people don’t get offended?

     

    The History of St Kilda has no parallel to the MFC

    You need to do some research sunshine ☀️

    He looks pretty big already.

    George is three later this year.  After the season is over.

    Max should be put out to pasture with Lauren Jackson after he retires. 
     

    I’ll buy a share and love the F/s when he debuts and wins a premiership

    Makes sense. I thought he was younger. Tx.

    Good to see all the dads with the little ones.

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

    It's McAdams 2nd game, it's going to take time. You need to go in the bin.

    Not really thrilled.

    Poor last quarter.

    The 3 goals against cost us 3rd spot on the ladder by %.

    Sounds trivial?

    It isn't and wont be come final time.

    Very pleased to be wrong about this one I though the Saints would give us a real scare but apart from that burst in the 2nd we cruised through

    Let it go you fool. You can’t let go and get out of your black and white, single lane thinking. 

    Saints have not won a premiership since 1966. Prior to 2021, our club hadnt won since 1964. I’ll  let you ponder on that one. PM me for the answer

    How about having empathy for the under dogs, the ones who have struggled. The underdogs. That should be relatable to you. 

    Hilarious 🤣

    Anyway, my earlier reservations aside, I want to note that we came to win, and that is what we did. That’s important. My positives are that we looked happy out there, as if last week was an aberration. We had moments of brilliance and I hope the boys carry that forward as I still think our best can beat anyone.

    Go Dees ❤️💙

    People need to really lighten up a bit & enjoy a40 point win.

    We’re not head & shoulders above anyone in the competition, we’re in 4th position & will be fighting it out when the whips are cracking with about 12 other teams

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
