Bulldogs game has it covered

The latest win is always the greatest. 

Bradshaw was amazing. Defensive, rebounding and so solid. On the other side, we had langom who pressed for goals. But overall, Oliver was nuts. Set so much up. old dee, dr Dre- maybe time to follow Italy.

I loved it but i thought that we have had better wins

Bulldogs, Brisbane, Swans were all better wins imo (in that order).

Bulldogs and Brisbane yes, Swans no.

Swans played well that night but this game was on hostile opposition territory and we won all four quarters and won by 6 goals.

This is top 3, with Sydney and Richmond rounding out the top 5.

How am I meant to rock up to work tomorrow 

Your not, after this win, stay home and watch the again?

I thought their fans showed a good understanding of the game and were fair and unbiased in the way they welcomed us to the ground and had a few chats with our players over the fence.

Was good to see that Trac returned the gesture to them after his last goal.

Maybe the best part of the win is it means Dr D is 0-3 for his predictions of how the Essendon, GWS and Port games would play out.

That was a win for the ages.

To hold out Port on their home deck, with the entire crowd yelling their guts out in support, was epic. They challenged several times and we responded each time. In the last we absolutely toweled them up.  Grit and heart got us that win. We looked scrappy for the first ¾ but got the result against yet another likely finals team. [censored] that was good.

 

Shout out to Petty who played his best game for the club.

 

Dunno about you lot but I could use a drink.

Mate I started before the game

CARNA DEMONS!!! Bloody good win, back to our best with pressure, TMac and Kozzie back in town with 3 each, Petracca back to his best May and Lever superb.

Interesting Max confirmed they have had heavier training loads the last couple of weeks and it showed. Disappointing we couldn't get the points against Pies and/or GWS but we've responded now, top 2 with 6 games left, destiny in our hands.

Viney was better today than the last two weeks in getting and using the ball. Still missed some targets but he was at least lowering the eyes and looking to hit lead up targets.

Harmes, though. Not a great game IMO.

Viney was very good defensively. Topped tackles and pressure acts

Wines got a fair bit but limited in effectiveness.

You don't strangle a good fast moving team like Port without inside defence like Viney provides

Good game, Fritch, Langdon and Harms were a little off. No reason to drop them, every player has a bad one every now and then.

That was a pretty stress free game. We were always in control, except when they were coming at us in the 3rd but we stemmed the flow. 

The good thing about having Brown back was it took pressure off Fritta and to some extent McDonald 

We kept them practically goalless in that final quarter only Dixon kicked that one after the siren. 

Kozzie finally that's what we want from you. Petty took a massive step. Tommy was back kicking goals and Trac got back to his best. 

Just love Maxy. Laughed when he was on fox and asked Ed how the Georgiades marked looked. 

That's the Melbourne we love to watch and that's what we want to see every week. 

Now a late night ahead. Hopefully Ash gets up at Wimbledon to make it an even better night. 

Geez Brayshaw is going to have a shiner in the morning, he played with one eye in the second half!.

Harry Petty, take a bow! 

He was great.

Brown in was so good for our structure even if he didn't do a tonne. Made life so much easier for T-Train and our small forwards.

Petty and the port breakers.

'Damn the Portpedoes' was by far their best.

Langdon would have to put in about 6 bad games in a row to ever feature in the being dropped discussion, such are the credits he has in the bank.

Fritsch was hardly bad - he was a factor in a far more dynamic forward line than last week.

Really good tonight. Much more enjoyable when we have a comfortable lead going into the last quarter. I didn't need to have the defibrillator on standby.

GO DEES!

This just in - salty tears are flooding Barnacle Bills and heading towards Rundle Mall fast.

I and most of us gave the boys a bake last week but gee whiz that was as good a reply we could have possibly hope for. They've monstered us in the past so to see them limping, cooked and hurt was hugely satisfying. Well f'n done you red legs!

Apparently that was the lowest number of inside 50s we have had all year.

And we won by 5 goals.

19 inside 50 tackles a big factor in our efficiency

Yes and I did not need one drop of single malt Rev.

Just relieved we had a win!

Was a great game!

Glad Ben Brown played. We have a much more potent forward line when he plays in the side.

 

 

It’s great watching a team of Demons playing good aggressive footy. I reckon Hunt is becoming a smarter player every week. Kozzies two long bombs were class. The Dees are all class, and I suffer the indignity of not backing them ?

Jordon, he can play our youth is really exciting, Jordon, Petty, Pickett, Rivers, Jackson, Spargo

We seldom get beaten when Tmac plays well. Lots of other reasons of course.

Been thinking that same thing for the past 20 minutes. Petty played a great game, looked confident in what he did, manned-up almost fully, nothing really passed him all night (except the umpires decisions), made a big impact on the effectiveness of the backline team. Hibberd was great, too - a seasoned defender with heart.

I have to say I was not expecting such a dominate performance. We actually might give the GF a fright.
