POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 7

Best win in, probably, a decade.  Amazing stuff.

Yes, we can get better defensively and clean up our disposal a touch, but please - enjoy it everyone.  Sit back, relax and enjoy something that hasn't come around in 10 years.

Oliver, Hunt and Petracca. Wow.

With more consistency, we could be the Western Bulldogs of this season. How good is this to watch.

 

Best win since we beat the swans by 74 points in 2011..

Who gets the rising star nod? 

Petracca 24 and 2 goals

Harmes 26 and 3 goals 

 

great signs

So I'm currently in the middle of the Baltic sea. It took me 45 minutes and $200 to find a viable internet connection, and all I can say is WTF?!

24 goals? Who are we? What has happened to Melbourne? Are GC just crap?

Gawn from what I can tell reading the play on the AFL app, seemed to be involved in everything!


Just awesome.

Crazy stat -   Tracca and Oliver combined for 9 kicks and 38 handballs

 

Go Dees

 

Amazing.. Just got home from playing footy..

Speechless.

 

Statement win. Genuinely can't remember the last one like it. Beating up on GWS and GC in their first years doesn't count so you have to go back a very long way.

Jones and Viney leading the way with Clarry and Petracca staring in a supporting role. Pedomyths excellent with pressure and conversion. Jeffy on fire. Wagner settling very nicely. Gawn dominant. Harmes best game of his short career. So many positives.

Gold Coast were really, really, really bad. Bad I'm happy. Think we're a good chance against the doggies next week. 

What are you still posting here for mate?

 


Did that just happen? It was kind of a wild blur after half time.

So glad to see us finally put a team to the sword. Relentless.

Agree. Suns depleted but our first Bloodbath since Swans game 5 years ago.

One for the Harmes haters also.

Monday morning I'm getting both papers (pressed & ironed), coffee brewed and looking forward to looking at ladder position.

Gee the boys looked happy singing the song....


Intensity ++++++ best I've seen in a long time, stunning effort rewarded with a big win and Clarry? wow.

That win was in 2010 and was 73 points.

 

One goal between Hogan and Watts, our two leading goalkickers yet we still managed to kick 24 goals. Not too shabby.

I always seem to be living in Japan when we are up and about.
I've been waiting to see us grind a team into the dirt for quite some time. To be fair, the Suns are way down on confidence. That being said, before this, we would find some way to arse it up.
I also felt weird in one way. I could see how an opposition supporter might looked at us around 2012/2013. We were tearing them a new one but strangely, I felt a strange sense of pity towards them. 
Anyhow, we have a BIG challenge next week. Can we back up? Watch this space.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
