Gawn - dominated centre again

Viney - tackling was dynamic

Hibberd - quiet but vital

Petty - career best game

Rivers - tight and attacking 

Salem - outstanding attacking defender

Lever - wonderful defensive leader

Langdon - was surprisingly inefficient 

Brayshaw - some important intercepts

Harmes - better second half

Oliver - dynamic and classy

Petracca - classy and dynamic 

Fritsch - continued quiet phase

McDonald - 4 consistent quarters

 Brown - was pleasingly impressive 

Pickett - excitement returned again

Spargo - possessions were impressive 

Jackson - a quiet achiever

Jordon - some important touches

Hunt - run was vital

Neal-Bullen- couldn’t stop fumbling 

 
 

Everyone - Happy playing role

 

Some roles mean you get 6 disposals and run to clog up space all day. Some mean you get 30+ and kick 3

Some take 10 intercepts, some just defend space.

This is a team that understand what they do for each other. Nothing proves this better than Gus Brayshaw. Drafted as probably the second best midfielder in his year, finishes third in the brownlow playing as an inside mid. And now asked to run lanes up and down the dead wing as a defensive mid. He, or more importantly his attitude, is the reason we are winning. 

He should be very proud.

 

IMHO of course

Petty - his breakout game

I've been very impressed with Petty lately. I was initially concerned that Tomlison's injury would have a negative effect on our backline, but Petty has covered him perfectly.

 

JJ - reads game beautifully                                      


Gawn - surged it forward

Viney - a few errors 

Hibberd - won vital contests

May - continued AA season

Petty - marking with confidence

Rivers - multiple brave efforts

Salem - Poised when needed

Lever - in his groove

Langdon - important possessions late 

Brayshaw - has tidied disposals

Harmes - Indecisive first half

Oliver - Loves Adelaide Oval

Petracca - Kicked the sealer 

Fritsch - A little patchy

McDonald - Stopped Ports surge

Brown - Goalless but handy 

Pickett - Tackles pressure returned

Spargo - Handy early goal

Jackson - One confident mark

Jordon - Stuck to basics

Hunt - Erased horrible experience

Neal-Bullen- Willing but untidy

Dr. D: Happily proven wrong
Goodwin: Got players up

Umpiring was amongst the most Biased I have EVER seen incompetent, inept and kept Port in the game!

Of all the umpiring we've seen this year I didn't think last night's was anywhere near the worst.

Yes they made some errors but if you're expecting flawless umpiring you're watching the wrong sport.

The 50m penalty for Pickett against Jonas in the second quarter was a decision that, had the shoe been on the other foot, Demonland would have erupted over.

The umpiring wasn't that bad. You sound like an Essendon supporter!

May - won most contests

Salem - neat tidy creative

Harmes - effort was good

Petracca - love your work

Jackson - played his role

Viney - second half better

Lever - solid as usual

Spargo - rarely wastes possession

Brayshaw - important underrated contributor  

Gawn - Led by example

Oliver - great link man

Hibberd - in great form

Langdon - not his best

Jordon - I trust JJ

Rivers - lots to like

Petty - marking with confidence

McDonald - A great contribution

Hunt - takes game on

Neal-Bullen- a mixed bag

Fritsch - one fabulous goal

Pickett - back to best

Brown - Goals will come

You would never ever expect anything other than what Angus is doing coming from his exceptional Brayshaw family background.

He is a most underrated player on the wing and knits up the defence and forward line well with tough competitive football which helps our team keep control on the non Langers wing. Can't remember any game this year our wings have been beaten (except Vs Pies) badly.

Plus we can play Angus at HB or on the forward line or on the ball if need be also. 

Champion human being is Gus much like     Previous Capt. Jack Trengove.

  • 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?
