    Interesting how much confidence affects the ability to hit targets

     

    Players are running fwd off the ball making targets. Tackling ferociously. Pressure is immense. 

    Completely shut the hawks game down. 

    Something has clicked. When we play like this you question where it has been for 18mnths

     

    Let's finish this off dees

    Can always rely on you for a negative comment even when we are playing so well

    Not me noting the mistakes and posting them, I liked what I saw in 2nd quarter, hope for more off the same in 3rd, if we make a mistake, we are scrambling to fix it

    The joys of kayo. Watching the second quarter again.

    How was that kick by tracc to weed? Bullet!

    I’m just worried we will stop in the second half. Five goals is not a big enough margin and with a percentage as low as ours we need to keep going.

    Knew he was there, had the confidence to just roll around and pull the trigger!

    Luv it! ?

    Five goals is a margin we love to concede but I just can’t see Hawthorn getting near us.

     

    Our poise has been better but alot to improve on, better kicking inside 50 would have resulted in another 3-4 goals. 

    Overall we just look so much more balanced with Omac and a Second tall Forward in the side, releases Lever to intercept to his hearts delight.

    Gawn and Petracca on another Lever right now.

    Good times Demonland.

    Agreed, but smarter ball movement and better forward structure also important.

    Anyone else noticed Nev playing a completely different role

    Yes. Best he's played in a long time. Lockhart is doing the lockdown role while Nev has been left off the leash

    Can't remember the last time we took 10 contested marks in a match let alone in a half. Amazing

    • 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?
