Responding from afar (have only seen the stats) but six tackles from McAdam suggests he was making a defensive contribution.

Don't think his fitness is quite where it needs to be yet, but definitely a role to persist with a little longer

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.

Max is the best of all time, I'd reckon. Tomlinson and Tom McD both played well today - we must credit their performances with Lever currently restricted.

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

Agree. Hunter is a bit of a waste, compared to Woey who needs the game to hone his offerings.

Watching the replay, tackling pressure 1000% better than last week 

 

Back in the top 4

A game I don't need to see again

Great to see van rooyen snag some & tomlinson and McDonald were great. 

If we could play like we did in the 3rd quarter then we will go alright

Disappointed we gave up those late goals

Petty 2 kicks 1 hand ball and 1 mark. Should be at Casey next week.

He can join McAdam.

How old is Max jnr?

He looks pretty big already.

I will check it out next year at Casey training - he should do well there, like his Dad.

Enjoyed the awe in Dangerfield’s voice when talking about Gawn. Marshall is meant to be one of the elite rucks going around and Max treated him with disdain.

It shouldn’t get lost that we are watching an all time great every week.

He is approaching GOAT. Without a question .

Not even in the best 50 players to play the game IMHO.


Ross Lyon must be the biggest conman since Arthur Daley was around 

Truly Astounding that he is able to walk into top jobs….

We're so lucky to have Max. I lived overseas for 20 years and never saw Dean Cox play. The only other ruckman I'd rate alongside him is Simon Madden who was a far better forward.  

Lingers to half forward is a genius move. His work rate smashes most half backs. Having Windsor and Hunter/Billings taking the wings enables this. 

Thought he and Max were our best.

TMac and Tomlinson excellent too.

Loving ANB in the midfield, and more CBAs for Koz exciting too.

We reverted to a forward half territory game. Hard to know if St Kilda let us play that way or whether it was us dictating terms. We seemed to be fine with playing a higher defensive set up today.

Be interesting to see which way we go next week.

Rumours of COVID through the camp last week would make a lot of sense.

Reckon we should play as Naarm every week 😁

Really only our second win under that name, we've lost to some [censored] sides, it's a cursed, name

I'll take the win, but I need medication to get over the first 2.5 quarters of snooze fest.

When we take risks and change the angle of play to come through the corridor, we really are dangerous and exciting. This was the best thing about the 3rd and 4th quarters.  

Great to see Tomlinson play so well. 

The gut run and repeated efforts of Langdon, ANB and Rivers looked top quality today.

I was unconvinced about Billings and I remain unconvinced about McAdam. 

Hated those 3 last quarter goals.

Best game from Oliver Viney and Trac as a trio in some time.

Max Gawn - simply the best.

Best part of today's game was the corridor play, really tried to move the ball quickly and the skills were up to the task for the most part

A pity to miss a few opportunities and leak a few late goals, as we were a 10 goal better side for most of the game

yep his account runs dry and he accepts the job. doesn’t give a rats

Ratten performed far better

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

Are you kidding didn’t you see them on the game day thread, when Saints flooded the back half and just nullified the game in the second quarter. They went quiet for most of the second half but were back posting late with us giving up late goals when the game was done.  Ffs you just can’t help some of these posters

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

I reading 4 points and 5 percent. That's it.

That's all it will be until it isn't.

 

Do you mean we'll get some more if it keeps up?

Dees beat Saints on a Sunday afternoon.  Ho hum game to be fair.  Dees did enough and won it through 30-45 minutes of footy.
Third quarter burst was the only time that I saw the glimpse of what we can do.
Last 10 minutes of Second qtr and Last qtr were poor.  

Those wanting Petty out for Jefferson

who takes the gorilla defender?

JVR Jeffo is too young and green. 

 

I wonder if Lever could play smaller and we could keep Tommlinson in? we looked really good in the air

What a terrible thing to say about a Demon premiership player.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
