Demons knock off the Saints

Well, the Demons defeated the Saints this afternoon at the MCG.

Ben, I'm sure you were in the long room with a beer and some 85 yr old octogenarians yelling

This was a really important game for the Saints, but they came up short. They are now 5-5 after 10 games, and need to win 10 of the next 12 to get a top 4 slot. A tough ask, but they did it last year.
