Frawley kicks a goal to put us 13 points down despite everything. The first 10 minutes of the first quarter was good, and the last 20 minutes of the second quarter was also good. Keep it up and we'll be in the mix all day.
 

13 points at half time

This game is there for the taking

Kent in for Watts please


Well we fought back... Hope they can rip in after half time.

Really interesting moment in that build-up to the Frawley goal where Bail had the ball in the clear but actually looked to go sideways!

Thankfully he kept running and hit Frawley but to even think to take away all of his momentum by going sideways was just dumb.

Wow, I thought Collingwood and Richmond crowds were bad, Port are right up there.

If we win this game I'll stop posting on Demonland.

</sarcasm>

At least we don't have to put up with Bruce mcaveney,s continuous statement ending in a question?

Really good insight shown by the pantsman don't you think Leigh?


Glad to see some having a crack and working us back into the game. Strangely this year our 3rd qtrs haven't been too bad. Nows the time for a blinder though.

Go Dees

Wouldn't mind seeing Howe go forward, just give us a different dimension up forward, I doubt any of the port defenders could go with him in the air.

move Vince to half back

Happy with the fight back considering they couldn't do anything right for 15 mins there - some poor umpiring but u need to take the good with the bad - that last Frawley goal was a gift from a soft free on Gray

On Watts he is elite reader of play and ball user but he is poor at most other facets..... If u could put Watts skill in Dawes body you'd have quite a good player

Loving pigdogs work as well. Boys need to keep doing the basics right and we could be a sneaky chance.... probs only a small chance

Another game where against every conceivable odd, we are still in it.


Tackles at half time:

  1. Lobbe - 8
  2. Riley - 7
  3. Cornes - 6
  4. Wines - 5
  5. Gray - 4

Has more than Vince, Tapscott, Pedersen, McDonald, Jamar, Grimes, Dunn, McKenzie, Howe, Frawley, Watts, and JHK combined

Aidan+Riley+Melbourne+Demons+Training+Se

13 points at half time

Watts hasn't been great but he has plenty of mates, and when he gets it he makes good decisions backed by excellent disposal.

This is streets ahead of most others and he is not worst.

We may be seeing why Blease has struggled for a game as well.

Agree on Pigdog.

As Luke "say that again" Darcy would say, I just love the way he goes about it.

Wot a man -

He missed that easy goal I'll forgive that becuase I love his effort


I really want to see Watts get into the game, he's played good game in our wins especially in the second half.

Really interesting moment in that build-up to the Frawley goal where Bail had the ball in the clear but actually looked to go sideways!

Thankfully he kept running and hit Frawley but to even think to take away all of his momentum by going sideways was just dumb.

I agree CB

I don't like it ATM - boys first instinct is to go backwards or sideways - under certian circumstances i agree but when you win the ball and have run it should be all forward movement

Riley finding form

2015 will be good.

 

Watts absolutely did not squib that , he needed to get lower and go harder against a smaller player.

By my reckoning several players have a half of footy to show they might be part of the future

Watts ( Does not do anywhere near enough or want it bad enough)

Tapscott ( Limited)

Blease ( Pace, but that's about it)

Mc Kenzie ( Sorry, but I still cannot believe how a bloke with the skills of a park footballer still gets a game at AFL Level)?

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
