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.

maxy best. viney very good as well

Viney excellent. Mr dependable 

Junk time goals that should not have happened but,

that was a different team with a different attitude to last week, 

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 

Still love winning football

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.

How old is Max jnr?

He looks pretty big already.

Don't drop Tommo.

He struggles against the better forwards.  

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 ☀️

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. 

Ross Lyon should be banned from coaching in the AFL. 
 

Think we might be a slightly better forward line when JVR plays 

Hope all the Hanrahan’s moaning pre game were happy with that performance 

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
