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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
