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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
