Adelaide is such a B-grade city and TV market

How is the boundary rider...!?!

Was my next-door neighbour when I was in high school playing footy. Absolute top bloke.*

    Can they just thrown Harmes onto Boak for the second half? He's not done much, so may as well cancel Boak.

    Perhaps you are too young to have seen Fitzroy's last game v Adelaide. Benchmark. 

    Go Dees

    Oh I still remember that. That was a dark day in Australian Rules.

    They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.

    Yep. They've been poor in general. Both sides copping the short end of the stick.

    If we win, the winning margin will be worth double of what it is purely because we’re not only playing another team, we’re playing against the deplorable umpiring as well.

    ANB and Harmes very disappointing

    AnB having a nightmare of a game. He is literally a detriment right now.

    i like Ben Brown being in the side he is not getting a lot of the ball but is sucking up a lot of attention, that gives our other forwards a chance to get into the game.

    Agree whole heartedly.

    but just to be fair, 13 guys in the team (not including medi sub) have had the ball less than BB 

    Oliver on track for forty touches? with 20 already.

    And his first halves tend to be slower.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    I don't mind the booing because it means we have the ball. 

    Ugh I was saying no late goals before the siren. 

    Petty magnificent so bar. His ball use has been great. 

    Trac had a great 1st half. 

    Pickett getting into the game. yeah that last 50 was there. If alir had touched it the ump would have said play on. No different ot eh fritta one. 

    I like what Ben Brown is doing. He's providing a contest and taking ports best backman from the others. 

    We are playing so much better than last week. We aren't over handpassing it and playing on at all costs. Love it. 

    Come on dees keep it going.

    Great start.

    Port are getting very few clean looks. 

    BBB has yet to hit the scoreboard, but he’s undoubtedly straightened us up. If he can jag one or two, he can say he’s done his job.

    Clearances have improved out of sight.

    I hope Ed has gleaned what our mindset is. If we go in knowing our foot is on the neck and it’s time to move in for the kill, we should win.

    Would like more from Fritta, ANB, Viney and Harmes

    Yes our stars are playing well but let's help them out a bit 

    Would like less from Harmes. Every time he touches the footy it ends up in Port Adelaide hands. Reverse King Midas.

    Really want to see Oliver kick 2 or 3 goals in 2nd half. Nothing better than an A grade mid who hits the scoreboard

    Good thing his only had 3 touches.
     

    Not even half as many as Ben Brown

    I’m usually reluctant to bag the umpires. I rarely do it. But this is off the charts terrible umpiring. 

    The connection between Gawn , Trac and Clarry is good tonight and Brown balances out the forward line much better.

    We also started better this week and those were the three things we wanted to improve on.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
