I would love to see one of the Richmond players laid out in the second half. Preferably Lynch

    We’ve kick more goals in other quarters against other teams, but that is far and away our best quarter of the year. 

    - we kept the reigning premiers goalless

    - our defence has been outstanding 

    - we have matched and even bettered their pressure

    - Hibberd’s role on Martin has been sensational 

    - Salem is BOG by a country mile

    That was some unbelievable footy. Even if we lose from here, I've seen enough to be convinced we are legit.

    Jackson is sex.

    And 5 years for Salem was about 5 years too short.

    Pretty sure he’s done it before

    Yes he has.  One of the few to keep him pretty quiet when he did but on that particular night he followed him everywhere starting in the centre.  Tonight he's picking him up when he goes forward with JJ, Clarry and Tracc starting on him in a tag team effort.

    Changed our strategy to doing more handballs.

    Giving them no space.

    Taking out their best players.

    We have a fairly open forward line when we move quickly.

     What will the brain trust think of this quarter?

    Gee Tige's make tbe opposition earn it when we are around the ball, mostly line ball I would say. C'mon umpire,  protect the man infront or with the ball.

    So Dusty can be tagged after all. Brilliant work Hibbo.

    History says He will get off the leash at some stage just hope we are far enough ahead to absorb it.

    Good team play. We are asking the questions of Richmond and they are not finding any answers. 

    Will be interesting to see how each team resets in the second half....

    Richmond's first goalless quarter this season. (and since round 15 last year)

    That fact alone is so heartening. This might really be our time. 

     

    The boys look [censored] off, hungry and like they've had enough of Richmond. GREAT QUARTER. Two more to go.

    • 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?
