Tough final five minutes to the term, but we held them relatively well, even if we had a little luck to go with it.

Midfield has been really good so far and I've liked the work of McDonald and Weideman up forward.

Hopefully those last five minutes were nothing more than a blip on the radar.

Weid has been good.

Gee Melksham makes a huge difference to our forward line.

Salem playing the backline general well I recon he is the replacement for Lewis.

    Not bad so far.

    Port regained their poise somewhat at the end but we made the most of our opportunities early. Nibbler needs to work on his set shots however.

    Sparrow looks like he belongs.

     

    Some nice work so far. A few cheap turnovers in midfield but we're getting busy. 


    Viney and Petracca not exactly making their presence felt.

    With May to come back, Frost would want to be stepping up.

    No, surely Oscar has to come under scrutiny.  He is rubbish and is ridiculously slow.

    Jones has done some good stuff.  Very much involved in the game.

    Yep, he's actually been really good out on the wing.

    For those trying to watch overseas- this link is working.

    That was pathetic defensive work from O Mac then.  Westhoff should never have marked that.

    Frost is incredibly frustrating

    He was stiff, though.  Ball was called out on the full and then he paid the push in the back.

    Umpiring howler - how can you pay in the back to a ball that has gone out on the full!#!

    Bad call. Soft call. But Jesus Frost is dumb to put his hands on his back for no reason.

    Frustrating

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
