The cats blown away early but fought their way back to take control of the midfield shutdown Bont and Hunter and just lift their work rate across the ground. Gave the dogs no time or space to run and link up. Great coaching by Scott and effort by Danger and co! Wouldn’t hurt our boys and coaches to review how to shutdown a fast running team. Hard to tell on TV but was it as simple as Geelong going man on man after the first quarter to get the game into an arm wrestle? 

 

Dogs were two down on the bench for the second half, which I'm sure hurt.

However it happened, that result helps us.

Dogs have to win out to get to 10. They have West Coast, Hawthorn and Fremantle. If they lose once more this year, they can't do better than 9 wins and we currently have 11% on them.

The fact that we're only a game behind them but we have two extra games to play really helps us. If we can somehow win tomorrow, we'll be so much closer to ensuring we finish the season above the Dogs. Will then only need to make sure we outpace Essendon and Carlton from there.

If the Dogs had won tonight, our path would have been significantly harder.

It looked like men on man to me Earl!

Every time a Dog got a sniff there were at least 3 Cats to cause a turnover. Bloody impressive. They'll take some beating if they can maintain that form.


I know it helped us with the dogs losing but gee I did want them to win. They did so well in that first quarter then barely kicked a goal after that. 

Josh Bruce is a liability to the dogs. He does nothing and is a shocking kick for goal. 

Typical, Wallis did nothing tonight.

? Oh well, top 4 and I get my money back. Could have been worse. Could have backed the Dees. At least I am a chance of getting my dough back.

Is there any chance Port might play an away game anytime soon?

Freo are  a sneaky chance vs GWS today.  A Freo-Demon double would be huge for our finals chances.

That's the one we need. Hopeful.

Two of their last three are away.

They'll finish the season with 7 games at the Adelaide Oval and 10 somewhere else.

Hardly complaint material.

Dogs impressing me so much I just put $50 on them at 20/1 for the flag.

What odds can you get now? Damn, football is a fickle and cruel mistress this year.

gotta say, i find the constant referencing to gambling odds on this forum a bit yuck

i have no trouble with people gambling, and i understand a lot of people love wagering, but given the dees' stance of 'love the game not the odds' i am not a huge fan of it

Giants are up and about.  Their A players seem very switched on.  At this rate they will build a decent %'age.

Hoping the dockers find their mojo, fast!

Terrible one side umpiring - all for the Giants.

Giants have a very winnable run home. They ooze class but cannot quite click... watch out if they do

If the Blues lose tomorrow you would fancy the giants to take the last spot in the 8.

It's certainly difficult on a forum like this to please everyone wwsw !

Can you believe that some posters complain about my smut and sexist remarks?

It's an odd world we live in.

Regardless of what you may think of Toby G. He is one tough player who gives his all and we could do with a few like him.

They just showed footage of Green giving the Freo guy a tummy tap/punch identical to the one Lynch got fined for 2 weeks ago.  Lets see how hypocritical the media are and if they go after Toby because he is a 'bad boy' of the comp.

GWS found their 2019 form today and beat Freo by 6 goals gaining a 5pt %'age boost.  They are now 8th with a %'age of 101.8.  Even if we win tonight they will be difficult to dislodge from the 8 as they have a slightly easier run home than us. 

But if we do win tonight we might dislodge the Saints from the 8.  ?

They are out and will find it difficult to get back in.  But who knows, the last few spots are up for grabs.

  • 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?
