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...

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
