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.

    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

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

    He can join McAdam.

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
