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

    100 points on the scoreboard 🤩

    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 ☀️

    How old is Max jnr?

    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

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
