Let's keep a lid on this fellas. I can't see us winning by any more than about 80 points so let's not get too excited.

You are not exactly a natural at lid insertion, are you Reverend? :)

Jeffy needs to work harder once he gets free in the middle with ball in hand. He has great speed and should be able to run lines. Used to do this more at Carlton and a little more in his early games with us. Too quick to just dish off the ball without taking the game on now. Of little value to us if he's going to keep doing this as he rarely gets a few goals either anymore.

Would rather see Newton, Matty or Grimes get a game at this point if this continues for the remainder of this match

Sorry but Hogan is horribly out of form. Weids or Hullet would offer more value/impact at this point

I have forgotten how good, tough and clean Brayshaw is. Really enjoying every play he is in. Hunt and Dom Tyson - wow.

Our play through half-forward is fairly clumsy at times, we should have 3 or more goals by now, and the two clumsy misses by Garlett and Pedo were excruciating. 

Our backline is immense. Some of our best team football in years, stifling Port inside their forward 50, then running it out through gut running, and 2nd and 3rd efforts. 

Huge 3rd quarter coming up. Can we play 4 quarters of our best footy?

I dunno why I'm so nervous about this game. It's exactly the sort of game I reckon we can turn up to after half time and lose. Maybe it's MFCSS. 

This is a good performance especially since we have a few of our better players a little down today (Hogan especially). 

 I'm so in love with Hunt I mean really he is a star!

You're obviously not watching the game?  Port dominated possession and inside 50's that quarter but couldn't finish off.

 

I am watching. Port's disposal is abysmal. They aren't running both ways. Our transition is killing them. They have 0 contested marks. We have 13 more contested possessions. Viney, Jones, Watts and Hogan have done nothing. We go forward and score. Our defense is pummeling their attack.

Hunt on track to getting that Rising Star nom.

I reckon he has faded somewhat in a few earlier games. Needs to maintain his rate of possessions.

To those bagging every O.Mac touch in his first few games.

Wow, he has the goods I think.

 

When was the last time the Dees were $1.01 at half time in any game?

i agree they were better in the second, but we have taken everything they have thrown at us, now we have to come out and finish their season in an emphatic fashion, enough for us to start to give Norf a scare.

I think Norf know were coming...

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
