Garlett may have been a bit quiet, but he has laid 6 tackles this evening.  You can't fault that effort, even if we all wish he had hit the scoreboard a little more.

    Nice leading chest mark to Hogan. With how many entries we get, we should see that from him 10 times a game.

     

    Hogan has been reading the forum!

    he led, they kicked it too him, he marked... simples

    edit: kicked the goal too, the perfect finish to a perfect passage of play

    FFS, we're over 50 points up in Darwin. You'd think we're down by 80 with some of the negative Nancy stuff

    I was just about to write - I've done a hell of a lot of whinging for what's going to turn out to be a 10-12 goal win!

    No, but you can fault his lack of impact.

    Looked superb, but it's hard to do when there are generally 8 other players standing in front of him most of the time.  If you give him the space he'll lead up and mark it 9 times out of 10.


    Note to self eff ark is sweary

    child 1 is going to be wearing a Fritschkrieg jersey. Lotta love

    Probably because we should be up by 80

    For his first game back for a while, I'll take 13 touches, 6 tackles and a goal.  He can build on that in the coming weeks and I've liked his pressure in the forward half of the ground.

    22 inside 50s for Freo could well be the impact we wanted from Jeffy and his tackles.

    Jeez reading this thread... Who knew we'd win by ten goals.

    With respect, mate, that is a very, very long bow.

    Self protection mechanism - complain until siren sounds with a win. Based on work cover advice

    8:8 since half time v 5:15 in the first half

    I think it's just a bit of pragmatism based on the significantly under-strength and youthful opposition.

    We're not going to get away with this amount of wasted forwards opportunities against a half decent team.  

    Around the ground we've been fantastic though.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
