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.

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?

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.

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...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
