POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 12

Featured Replies

 

Great day for the club.

Great day for Rev and MND.

 

And beating Pies back to back on QB. So good.

Can we get Neale to give the boys a Rev up every week? What a legend.

 

We are now 1 game out of the 8 behind the Eagles who just lost Nic Nat for 8 weeks.

Finals must be the aim, no excuses!


Called it at 5am. Max Gawn best ruxkman in the league. Struggled to pick a name to stand up before the game and a team effort burried the pies.

Look out GWS next year is ours

No passengers today!

Fantastic stuff.  Some will lament some poor decision making at times, and we turned it over a little, but the intent and willingness of the players to run hard was simply fantastic.  This is not a fickle and soft club anymore.

Gawn was immense and the midfield smashed theirs.  Kennedy responded superbly and our backline was fantastic.  They make the odd mistake but the kids were alright today.  When the press works it works VERY well.

Our forward line was great as well.  Kent had a ripper, Hogan got 3, Dawes worked his backside off and Petracca... well... this kid is going to be something.  

And the cherry on the top?  Sticking it up the Pies!

 

It's a grand old flag. I need to apologise to my students for my total lack of interest in anything they have been doing. I just don't understand why the Queen's birthday is not a holiday in China.

GO DEES!

Yeah, I woke up at 4.40 am, had a coffee and called it at 4.57am.

Here we go, here we go!

Watching how debilitated the Rev has become due to his illness almost made me cry. Defeat the beast.

Gawn just...just...brownlow material

Dawes' mark on the hb line before our run of goals was the catalyst to our ascendancy, funnily enough. He was great.

Watts' game was closure to his horrid debut. I'm very proud that he is a Demon.

I'm now convinced that the Frost-as-forward experiment was a part of his development as a defender. He was fantastic at moments and so too were Hunt and Wagner. 

Petracca just gets better and better.

Trenners' mark and goal!

Go you mighty Demons!

Edit: congrats Nasher! Please go to more games.

 

Uncontested possessions- up by 120. We may have over used it, but similar to the dogs, we just didn't let them get there hands on the ball. Think that's as well as Collingwood can play. 8 goal win, highly accurate goal kicking again (1.4 early) bring on the swans

Love it RTG my alarm went off at 430 but I was on the couch so took a while to "wake up"

Very tough conditions out there with the wind.

 

We look to have settled our key backs for the next eight to ten years hopefully with the two McDonalds and Frost.

 

With Hunt and Wagner providing great run and Jetta being our best defender, there's lots to be excited about.


I got a bit worried late in the third quarter, when we repeatedly turned over the ball coming through half forward, with no pressure on the player kicking. But Collingwood are sooooo bad, they couldn't capitalise. 

Apart from this hiccup, we simply out played, out tackled, out pressured and out marked them. Even when we made errors, and we made some shockers, our players charged back in and made it difficult for the Pies to get forward. We were bloody ferocious at the contest, and how good was our pack marking - brilliant. 

Sorry I can't join the party most teams would have belted the pies by 10 goals.  Oscar was passable but should still be at Casey - he gave away 2 goals.  Jetta, Stretch & VDB were barely adequate.  Frost & Tom McD were lucky the Pies kicking for goal was poor.  Hogan dropped 3 chest marks.  Trengove is just going.  Lucky for us Watts, Max & Bernie had huge games & the Pies were missing a few players.

  • 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.

    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?

    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?
