5 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

we need cunningham to lift deep forward

Don't we always ?

 

Probable 2 goal turn around with the sheparding free against ?Paxy mid 2nd quarter was the difference. We feel like the better team but Brisbane take their chances. Should be a good 2nd half. Hope Daisy is ok!

 

Lions pressure was very good that quarter.  We are fumbling as a result, we just have to be cleaner.  Bris were v impressive last week against North.  I had forgotten that Meg D is another defender who is an unreliable kick, our defence is full of them, our midfield needs to keep helping out.  That Colvin act that resulted in a 50 meter penalty and goal was costly too.  We will need a huge effort in the second half to win.  Great efforts by Shelley Scott and Zanker so far.  C’mon girls.

Half time 3. 1 to 5. O to Bris

Brisbane made the most of the opportunities.

Good quality game, hard run. good pressure, backlines of both team repelling the play.

bears just look a bit better, and they don't miss

and thanks to @Demonland for putting the match day thread on the 'main' forum today but it's clearly influenced the result

it is such a bummer to see daisy with that massive brace on her knee

 

3 quarter time.

4. 1 to 6. 0 Brisbane way

Hard gut running football.

Melbourne don't give up. They are trying to construct a win, they are almost.

Hoping Brisbane fade in the lat.

Paxman back to midfield,  Scott in the forwardline. 

 

They look better than us but we are hanging around ....... close enough, but we need a big last quarter.   Time for Paxy, who is having a stinker by her lofty standards, to lead from the front. 



The skills are getting so much better and the fitness for woman’s footy is incredible nowadays. Come on Dees bring it home!


I wish the men played with half the heart of this team. They are an absolute pleasure to watch.

Well that was exciting.

Well done ladies. Home with a wet sail

  • 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?
