I don't think I have seen Bernie Vince kick a straight kick ever.....Just seems to bomb them off the foot to no one in particular. Terrible.

Port look like a totally different side now. Run ons are an amazing thing in footy. Their confidence was shot. Dunn kicks the ball down the middle to Bail when he didn't need to and Port get a goal from it and their confidence rose from there.

Our midfield is clearly still C grade. Jones is a solid B grader (love him, love his effort), but when the momentum swings against us, he doesn't have that star quality to swing a game. Brayshaw just might, in time.
 

Jack Watts. FMD. Just tried to tackle without his arms.

Watts had the Port player on toast but put on the weakest tackle attempt.

watts bump on impey in lieu of a tackle was pathetic.

Said this 2 years ago and got pulverised on this site.

You cant shovel gutz into a weakling,end of story,weaklings dont develop or change their habits under pressure.

Again, we show that we can't keep up in the midfield with top sides. Gray, Boak, Wines and Ebert are head and shoulders above every one of our mids unfortunately. We are desperate for Brayshaw and Petracca to come on faster than should be expected of youngsters.

Watch Brayshaw get an injury that ruins his development. We shouldn't need him to be playing every game but he's one of our best mids at the moment. We put pressure on these kids and it wrecks them. Same thing happened to Trengove.


Port Adelaide has scored 8.3.51 as a result of opposition turnovers today, its second best result from this score source this season. How far in front are they.

 

Is it a lot for a supporter to want his team to win more than one week in a row?


Lol Bail

Please, No more Bail & Watts, thanks

Ridiculously similar to the GWS game. This is now 3 interstate games this year where we've come out breathing fire, dominated early, and then at the smallest hint of pressure, dropped our heads and fallen apart. No leadership, too many passengers, no work ethic. Away from the G we obviously have no confidence in our ability.


Well my optimism for Queens Birthday has taken a nosedive.

Such a shame to see a complete repeat of the GWS disaster.

Fark right off Howe.

Just go. Take the money and take a hike.

Can I help you whip Dunn this week, please?


McDonald and Jones stinkers of a game.

How can we win with that?

what I hate is the instant reply when we finally do score. Cancels out any gain, in confidence as well as scoreboard. I hate that.

 

If Port can kick 7 in eight minutes so can we.

No we can't.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
