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. 

 

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

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.

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
