A spirited St Kilda side could not manage to complete what would have been a stunning comeback victory against Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday.Demons skipper David Neitz booted eight match-winning goals to help the Demons fend off the Saints by 13 points. Melbourne 15.13 (103) defeated the Saints 13.12 (90) to notch their sixth win of the season.
Coach Said :
"We were very, very average early," Thomas said. "We were very reactive and they out-toughed us and they were much harder at the footy and everything else and that's my responsibility and we've got to prepare them mentally to attack the game and they didn't. We've got to take responsibility for that."
