How’s that for a stat, 18 marks to port, 2 for us at quarter time!

And we lead 

keep going Dees don’t worry about umps 

get it done 

 

Gee we're looking better this week.

our forward line looks dangerous.

Now for four quarters of this and we should crack all 25 of the port players

These umps are cooked. 

Think you mean crooked...

 

Relatively good first quarter compared to our expectations. 2 tall forwards is clearly our best setup.

Our midfield is in disgusting form, which is the key reason we're in a flat patch right now. Trac tries to do too much and Clarry is also below his best. Viney is a massive worry.

May immense.

It’s 35-21 marks Port’s way.

Fix our set shots and we’ll win every week!

35 to 21 according to my stats

 

The umpiring is atrocious! How can you get a free kick when the guy falls over into Tmacs knees and he was trying to get out of the way! Motlop’s throw for their second goal!! I am beyond frustrated 

Funny not one commentator has said anything yet the game against the Dons which was nowhere near as lobsided got a lot discussion.


I think we started well, and I’m really glad we got reward for effort as I thought we were the better team.

The game style against us is now obvious. Short chip kicks through the zone. Try and tire us out defending. Makes our stoppage work super important.

Amazing the difference when we win the centre clearances. The last 3 were great. 

Just our field kicking has been off. Viney needs to be better in that department. 

Salem started well.

9 more uncontested possessions so unsurprising.

Harmes and Viney are dead average players - people on here need to wake up to it 

Mate just stfu if you can’t say anything but rubbish our own players

Should have been below the knee if anything. 

Best start weve had in weeks

8 frees to 5. 

so many not awarded to us and heaps of theirs simply not 

Gotta admit these maggots have no shame.


We’re switched on which is good. BBB not involved yet but another tall in there clearly is helping with structure.

Brayshaw's tackle pressure is up but been pretty dumb giving 2 costly free kicks away. Needs to be a bit smarter but a good start. 

Charlie Spargo is so good at the toby Greene move.

Ah yeah just saw that that, thanks ?

Teams try to control the ball rather than bomb it in to lever and may.  Probably makes that stat lopsided

I know because I was swearing at the TV and then realised it was only 10 minutes ?

  • 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?

  • 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?
