Feels so good to have full length quarters again.

 

We still bomb,bomb,bomb into the forwardline indiscriminately!

Baker amongst it. Looked comfortable. 

 

I’ve seen enough. Is the granny back at the G this year?

Amen.

Jetta any issues on his hit on Tom Lynch? Lynch sooked it up big time. And Jetta played well that quarter.


Promising signs from TMac. Lever's disposal hopefully rusty. 

Forward pressure not good enough to stop their run out of defence. 

Although we lead they looked more threatening when they went forward.

Spargo promising.

Lynch is an expert, bit of a worry.

Reprimand I would think due to low impact and being in a contest (so not intentional). Lynch deserved it

It is hard not to dislike Lynch.

So I won't bother trying not to.

He [censored] me to tears.

Any idea why Riewoldt’s taken 2 marks on Jetta?

T Macs taken 3 contested marks.

Jones still knows how to kick a snag for our first.

Death, Taxes, Gravity, Jetta always on a much bigger opponent (leads to him being crunched and carrying injuries for the majoirty of the season).

Great to see TMac more mobile and his great hands.

still not great with our forward entries but good effort around the the field. Baker and James Jordan showing a bit.

Go Dees

Good quarter. Lever, Baker and Petracca playing well. Good to see Oliver playing

Surely any contact on that grub must be deemed as low

Hit on Tom Lynch? Are you talking about where Jetta brought him to ground late in the qtr? That was barely a free, Lynch sooked it up at the umps as usual. Nothing in it. Lynch is a weapons-grade *log


Can't see any significant signs of change regarding all ball use going forward.

Our pressure has been fantastic which is nothing new aside from our lapses during some games.

But all I want to see in these pre-season games is some genuine change in the way we move the ball.

Early thoughts:

1) It looks like Goody has finally figured out there is no need to rush in new players just because they look good at training - Jones and Jetta get games, while our third year men - Jordan, Sparrow, Chandler and Baker all get game time ahead of younger rivals.

2) Lever strong in air, Spargo vision, Trac brilliance, Baker and Langdon tackling.

3) It seems when Tiger bigs get free kick or mark in middle of ground we will sag off and ignore manning mark - thereby forcing their bigs to make right attacking decision.

just one quarter though

 

There were at least 2 instances in that quarter where we didn't man the mark. The first was just outside 50 and resulted in a shot on goal. Bit of a concern

Why is Jetta always against someone a foot taller?

Probably because we have a $700K a season CHB who won't play on a man.


The siren at Casey Fields sounds like Gus the steam shovel from Mr Squiggle.

Spargo might not be able to roost it 60m, but his kicks are flat and get where they are going nice and quick.

 

The classic 4 up in the marking contest. It’ll work this year you’ll see. 

gawn's kick from d50 straight into the 'hot spot' at the top of the 50 was laughably bad

tigers still look a mile better but at least are only a couple of points up

  • 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.

    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?
