May is unbelievable. Just brilliant. 
A much better half. I am glad they took Oliver off Bontempelli as that matchup was not working.

    Playing so poorly but in front   thanks to Steven May in my view


    Much, much better quarter there.  Our ball movement was better, as was our pressure, and we took our chances.

    Shout out to the back line.  At this stage, May and Lever are giving Naughton and Bruce an absolute bath.  Tomlinson has been pretty good too!

    Mids started to get on top and Preuss his looking better as the game goes on.

    Excellent turnaround!

    Hopefully that goal gets Oliver going, was having the worst game of his career up until that point.

    I love what Fritsch and Preuss are doing.

    SMASH THEM IN THE 2ND HALF

    Agreed, his past month has been phenomenal. 
     

    Gotta come out breathing fire after the break.

    Make no mistake, being up by 7 points is a great achievement. Doggies are a tough team, and we're matching them.

    May has been huge for us.

    Need more from Spargo and Pickett, much better quarter though.

    Just put some sauce on it and you should be fine!

    seedy half but half to take it 

    Tomlinson and May been very good

    Oliver working into it


    I can't stress just how bad Tmac is 

    We simply can't play him next week

    I don't care who it is as long as it's not him

    Tmac is done - the coaches have to see it surely

    Hilarious when you hear a spur of the moment nickname that you know will stick for the rest of the player's career. FRITSCH MAGNET!!!

    so good to see Fritta slot that.

    Sign of a good team to play pretty badly and still be in front.

    Got the feeling this will go down to the wire and will be decided by who converts the best.


    Anyone know if the Dogs are a good last quarter team this year?

    Well Andy is already supposed to be eating his scarf, so why not join the party?

    Great quarter from Fritta but Pickett was quiet.

    May and Lever working hard.

    Need to move the pill quicker into our forward line.


    The Fritsch magnet!

    Being smashed in the middle.  They just walk out with it.  Fix this and they will struggle to keep up.  May has Been brilliant

    • 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?
