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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
