Our second best first quarter of the year. Kicked 6.5 vs Doggies in round 11.

Kings of the dome.

 

Viney talking to the umpires. Stop it. It’s not helping your cause.

    Jackson’s been outstanding this qtr after my calls to rest or drop him. Awesome set shot from 50.

    Sparrow needs to go back to Auskick to learn what a handball is.

    Big goal at the end of the quarter from Jackson, should do his confidence a world a good.

    So to all the people who said Jacko should be dropped? 

    As I said all along. Better to carry a best 22 player thru a form slump than replace him with an NQR. Good players find a way. 
    I still think replacing JJ with Sparrow was a mistake but given it’s his first season I assume he is sore and needs a break. Straight back in for me next week. He is so composed.

    Need to work out why we give away so many frees, i dont believe every umpire hates us, we need to change

    Bit more bang for our buck at the end there. Would have been deflating if we were only a goal up after being all over them in general play

    Does it feel like we’re purposely not playing down langdons wing today?

    Even May changed it up kicking out

    It helped GC when they called out for Oliver's first throw...

     

    7 free kicks to 2. What the hell is going on?!!!

    It's amazing what kind of difference accurate set shot kicking can make.

    • 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?

      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?
