    Great to see Hogan keep his feet and put in a second effort - led to GOALS.

    OUr structure is so much better with Hannan and Trac operating (prowling) HF.

    Max much better, took some great marks.

    Oliver was already taking pain killers at the quarter time break.  DOnt know what was up.

    Watts - rusty.

    Trengove - couldn't run with his man.  Really wanted him to shine, but didn't.

    Jetta is a superstar.

    Lots of pressure.  Love the 4 points.  ALmost everyone contributed, a superb team effort.

    I have rarely witnessed such putrid umpiring ever.  It was only because I was sitting near children today that the language was kept in check.  It was not the number, but the blatant way that the maggots are umpiring for port, and against us.  It was a frighteningly inept display.

    Last thought - get on board.  Go Dees!

    Jordan Lewis is not a good footballer.

    He will never make it in the AFL.

    Very impressed with Hogan's ground work when the ball went to ground at contests. Won it well and rewarded with three goals. Great to see him improve this aspect of his game. 

    He was Garlettesque in his crumming.

    Thats what makes me happy today. Seeing a guy come back from horrendous feet injuries, play in teams that were repeatably thrashed, handed the captaincy when he wasnt ready and at no stage did he ever give up. Loved the ovation given to him when he ran on today and after the game when Robbo interviewed him. Know Watts was rapt to have him play in his 150th. also nice to see Goody go up to him after the game and give him a hug. 

    I still think he can play in this team maybe forward or int he backline.

    *sigh*

     

    I second this, apart from the Watts "rusty" comment. He was insipid.

     

    Better?

    I understand weak efforts, and that's what I witnessed time and again today.

    Some people see nothing but roses. I think you might be one of them.

    Faulty i actually reckon today he ( JW) was somewhere in the middle of that.  A lot of polish was missing but the substance of his role I feel was carried out. Not his shiniest day for sure.

    Who cares if Watts had a stinker? If anything it's a positive. We beat Port's best 22 (literally, they have no injuries. NONE!) with some of our best players either tiring or playing well below their best. We can go deep in September if our cripples regain their touch in the coming weeks.

    Thanks. Bit worried that, if Jonesy is back next week, he will make way. Hopefully Goody sticks with him for a couple weeks and he can show himself as heir apparent to Lewis with his skills and composure

    What's being forgotten is that it was Jack's first AFL game in over a year, against a top 4 side. The reality is that Jack did everything asked of him, and did it really well. I reckon Goody and the coaching staff will be rapt with his role playing. All in all an excellent effort considering the adjustment in standard.

    it certainly gladdened the heart.  Today was a good footy day...all round ;)

    Goody did say after the game that Jack's first half was 'promising'. Hopefully they give him an extended run at it

    A really good day at the footy. A Saturday afternoon game, a red ball, and the Dees were never headed all day. Not perfect, but not far off! Go Dees!

    Will 12 wins give us a finals birth?

    No, because there will be at least a fortnight left of the season by the time we get to 12 wins...

    If someone had told me that we would be equal fourth at this stage of the season after missing 5 of our top ten players for many games I would be calling for the straight jackets. Goodwins coaching has been superb

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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?
