Starting to take more risks with dispoal and trust a little more...numbers at the ball

 

Oh my god we actually have players at the back of the pack. It’s a miracle!

    Amazing what a bit of scoreboard pressure can do.

    Suddenly the Hawks are not so composed and our frantic game style is working in our favour

    Helps when we hit a few targets

    For sure....Harmes movement from the 2nd quarter also got us going

    Our best quarter of the year will mean [censored] all if we don't bring it again in the last. Can we just bury Hawthorn for once?

    Why you play Salem off a wing!!!

    connection... this is why I wanted Salem on the wing... since earlier in season.

    Start him from the wing...  so he is free from minding a half forward...  but he pushes back to the back-half to assist... and to run and carry forward,  and connect with Forwards. 

    As a good winger should be doing,  anyway.

    Tracc into the middle brings a bit of  space to move in for Hunt and TmAc

    exactly !!!       Tracca is too slow and cumbersome,  on a f/flank.

    He kills our F50 with his lack of.

    Harmed has been outstanding. Back to second half of last year form today

    What the complete F is happening??

    team balance is happening.

    Wow hopefully we can hold off the 21 hawk players on the ground in the 4th this umpiring is beyond diabolical

    Just heard the best description of a blatant free kick which was not given against Roughead. A commentator called it "the good bloke rule." Enough said.

    School kid stuff. Can't kick, can't handball and still to many in close at ball and no one spreading. Its not that hard !

    We actually disposed of the ball better that quarter and looked for players in the red and the blue. Amazing stuff. Also spreading. Come on boys. 30 more minutes. Hawks off 6 days. They must be tired after chasing us that qtr.

    Harmes has been fantastic. I love Salem on the wing, it's great to have brains out there!

    Much better from Hibbo, too.

    It hasn't been pretty, and we're so low on confidence that you can see the jitters every time we get the ball, but geez if we can bring this home, it might give the boys something to think about.

    Loved seeing a smile on TMacs face, too!

    Let's go Dees! I'm here but have a special guest so only 97% focused instead of the usual 100.

    As good a tunnel ball throw after being done for holding the ball

    • 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?
