Behind to Port

Port 3.2.20

Melbourne 2.5.17

 

Because they've probably spent the previous 2 mins trying to find a break in play to run off so that they keep to their set rotations.

It's not ideal to have a player trying to make an interchange whilst the team is makig a F50 entry and as a result no one is there to kick it to (or there is one less to kick it to, or crumb).

cool thanks.

Go Bennell. Bruce had a great quarter I must concur.

 

Bruce 14 touches, puts it on Bennells lead, lining up for after the siren kick..... misses, just

Miss. Damn


Bennell diving mark results in a behind after the siren

Bruce starring.

Bennell marks 45m out thanks to Bruce's classy disposal. Nice.

Siren sounds, Bennell kicks...misses

PA 3.2.20

Melb 2.6.18

13 touches to Cam Bruce. If he's signed with GC it's a big loss

Come again?

Dermott says if we find an extra gear we'll 'wipe the floor with Port'. We seem to have the class and the structure but we're turning it over a bit which is costing us. But we were into the wind that quarter so that's an upside.

Some inexcusable turnovers, and horrendous attempts at goal kicking.

Will we ever get over our fear of AAMI?

Bruce on his own doing what he wants and that goal from Watts was pure class. Hope his ankle is OK.


Well if it was supposed to be a three goal breeze then we aren't doing too badly on the scoreboard, but sounds like we didn't make the most of our chances so let's see how much thats costs us as the game pans out

Disposals MFC: 104 to PA: 75 (54 kicks, 50 handpasses compared to 44 kicks, 31 handpasses)

Bruce 7 kicks, 7 handballs, 4 marks.

Dominated first 15 mins but could not score goals,

Kicking is at 55%, Players are dropping chest marks with little to no pressure, running over the ball.

Trengove is having a mare, Jurrah flew for a mark when he needed to protect Green in the front spot.

We are playing pretty average football.

And Morton hit post from 15, drops a chest mark a few [censored] kicks, I seriously am now wondering if he will make it or be in our best 22 in 2 years time.

Great goal by Watts. Great spoil by Col Garland. Backline start well...again.

Poor kicking, field and at goal is costing us.

Now with the wind, better kicking would be nice.


Behind to the Dees

Port 3.2.20

Melbourne 2.7.19

Scully starting to show some toe, Watts doing a couple of clever things. Its all falling down in the forward 30

What is this business about bruce going to GC?

Rumour only as far as I know...

Goal to Port :(

Port 4.2.26

Melbourne 2.7.19

Struggling atm. They're pressuring us enough which is forcing turnovers, and they're scoring too easily when they go inside.

Not happy with the way we are playing, they are much more desperate. We are waiting for things to happen.

Poor patch of play, 2 quick goals to Port. 13 down now, need to hold onto our marks, its really costing us.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
