Watching in Phuket. Getting some funny looks from the locals with my constant shouting at the tv. Need more composure inside 50. Should be winning easily.

    regardless of the umpiring we have a lot of players not doing anywhere near enough especially in the forward line. These guys need to put their bodies in and need to chase and tackle. i wouldnt mind if they tried to kick a few goals as well. We are keeping port in this game, with the sheer weight of inside 50's we should be miles a head at the moment we are damn lucky to be in the lead.

    if these guys want to play finals they need to go out and prove it and not just leave it to Viney and others

     

    Why do you think we have so many inside 50s?

     

    Maybe forward pressure?

    Is it just me or is Hogan really out of touch and being just a passenger tonight. Might need to go back down to the VFL and ragdoll a few seconds players to get some confidence back.

    Move him up the ground ?

    His only mark was on the wing.   Certainly out of touch.

    C’mon Jesse ..... a bag in the third and another bag, shared with Tom, in the fourth.

    Pleeeease

    Big half for Goodwin imo. He has a team cracking in, and if he can figure out a way to goal, we win.

    Was poor last week and poor again this week. If he lifts and gets on his bike this second half we’ll win.

    Have you seen the delivery to him?

    Missing a small forward likeJeffy. He would have got two by now with the amount of inside 50 ‘s we have had.

    Hogan is not the problem. Port are successfully holding us up at the wing, flooding, and he is surrounded by 4 or 5 guys at every contest. There has been zero adjustment. He needs to move up the ground and we need to be cleaner across the middle of the ground. It is not so much delivery going forward that is killing us. We are simply allowing them the freedom to flood.

    Bloody Hell, Dermott making sense.....What sort of parallel universe is this?

    Good footage of Hogan on Fox Footy not flying for his marks. It was his main skill in his debut year.

    Dont understand why we always go wide when going inside 50.

    Very scrappy game thus far, need to execute much better to win this. Freezing at the ground, stewy dewy on the ground.

    If the game continues on like it has we just need to lower our eyes and we win this game.

    Hmmm. For what it worth, I think the umps have been ok. Port flooding our 50. We have dominated most of that half for not a lot of return. Get off Brayshaws back, he's been good. best game from trac for a half a doz games. Keep this intensity up and we will win. Just need to keep doing the team thing, it will click. Much better effort than QB

    Port's forward 50 open, open, open. Ours is congested and full of long bombs. 

    If you compare our forward syngery this week with previous weeks, it is miles apart. I don't know how many times Petracca knocked over his team mates and then fumbled the ball.

    We've been rattled by the Collingwood affair and seem to be lacking confidence (Hogan and Petracca in particular). 


    Cannot see us winning like this. Desperation will increase along with a commensurate increase in turnovers and port goald

    once they get a turnover and clearance they ran deep into fwd line in that q.

    Is Hogan playing??????

    Fritsch? The Smiths? Come on boys lift.

     

    No surprise the parochial crowd absolutely influences umpiring decisions. 

    The Power fans are totally one eyed, and that eye suffers myopia. 

    We have controlled the ball but been very poor with decision making and creating space. 

    Every port inside 50 threatens to be a goal as their forward line is so open. Ours is the opposite. 

    Spite at end of quarter was more our frustration. 

    This game should be ours but could go either way. Many players down but T Mac keeping us ahead with scoreboard pressure. 

    Conditions are absolutely perfect for footy. Chilly but no wind and really no dew or moisture. 

    8 points on the line here.

    Delivery inside 50 is reminiscent of games 1-5 this season. Bombing to packs blindly. 

    Lower the eyes. Melksham does this so well. Everyone else does not.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
