3 times this qtr we’ve have easy rooms into the fwd 50 for zero goals.

Petty started well but looks spent coming into half time.

2 arsey swans goals from blind Melbourne handballs in the last line of defence.
But we have to start winning it in the centre or we won't win this match.

McDonald, Hibberd, May, Oliver, Langdon, Jackson all good this quarter.

The rest have a long way to go.

Fritsch is playing a shocker

 

Petty would lose a contest against a traffic cone on exposed form.

Lift Fritsch

 

Holding Sydney to 3 goals till halftime....gotta be happy with that.

Started to dominate in that second quarter. Could very well have been another 4 goals up. Torched about 3 gimme goal opportunities.


Will take that any day of the week getting pantsed in clearances.

Sydney are such a bore. I would hate to support such a boring team. I hate playing them for this exact reason. They grind you down. 
Missed too many opportunities in front of goal. Should be 4 goals up.

If Weideman kicks a bag tomorrow he has to be an automatic replacement for Petty.

You know they play at opposite ends of the ground right?


It’s a tough slog. Swans are 4th for good reason. They’ve got good scalps already this year. We need to get better at clearances and kicking into f50. It’s slippery, so hopefully our fitness allows us to get that separation and take uncontested marks to maintain possession. 
looking forward to a big 2nd half

I thought that game was postponed - hopefully they do play and Weed plays a blinder

  • 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?
