    Good win by Port in a frenzied final quarter. Great to see Tigers lose again. Sick of them!

    Can't decide who helped get Port over the line more....Broad or the Umps.  Actually probably Broad

    Dursma did a knee and they were going on about a head injury.

    Sure he hit his head but he was lying on the ground holding his knee...

    Good game to watch. Port played like it was a GF, they have multiple injuries and many sore boys.  Durrsma ACL? hopefully not

    [censored] Jack for missing that goal. I put Dees and Toiges in a double. 

    Bitters your here? Thought you would be in mourning after the news of one of your brethren.

    That's the best game so far this year in terms of finals like pressure

    Not sure we're quite up to that level just yet ... pace was furious and even the best players had no time to release the ball 

    End to end, frantic ball movement and about the right amount of goals

    Neither team deserved to lose and if Costagna had have been able to get a foot to the ball then the Tiges probably win

    Great match!

    Are we watching the same game? Yes there are errors but look at the frenetic pace and intensity of the game. 

    Yeah, completely agree. I don't think we're anywhere near the standard of those two teams. High intensity and some good team defence on show from both teams.

    It'd be interesting to see how we'd handle the tempo of a game like that. I think our midfield is equal to both teams, but the cleanness of the defences and the ability for both sides to get those ground balls off contested situations was very impressive. It looked like we were watching two of the top 4 teams this year IMO. I can't see us breaking into a top 4 consisting of Port, Richmond, Eagles and Bulldogs.

    I mostly agree mate, although Port should have won by 3 or 4 goals had they kicked straight.

    Agree with your summation AF but we can finish as high as 4th if the cards fall our way ... the inequities of the draw with regards to the double-ups etc etc

    15 wins might snag 4th spot but can we win 15 games?  We'll need to not drop games we should win but more importantly, we'll need to split 50/50 or 40/60 against the better teams

    For instance, we're good enough to beat the Cats & Hawks so we need to get it done.  5 & 0 after 5 rounds and then the playing group can gain real confidence (yeah I know, one week at a time etc etc but we're just onlookers!)

    But tonight's game was on another level ... I totally understand those who highlighted the errors made (and there were many) but the pressure and pace was through the roof.

    Not gonna lie, the idea of beating Geelong on Sunday and finishing two games ahead of the Tigers is very sexually arousing.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
