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.

Ports bench looks like a war zone. These AFL clubs are starting to figure out that going the biff against the Dees is just not gonna work.

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

Hogan

 

hmmmmmm

 

 

 

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?

We all have our weaknesses.

That Essendon game is proving so costly 

Damn just when I thought I was getting over it.

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.

History is not what it used to be.

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.

You can be forgiven ... :)

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?

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
