Clayton Oliver. My goodness if that's a junior game you'd be taking him off the ground at half time as to not destroy the confidence of everyone else. Unbelievable. 

 

has tmac been at oscars medication,he is having another shocker

a good quarter could have been great if we had kicked straight. still a handy lead, now start again and build on it, dont go into a shell and try to defend.  Need to continue to attack, and preferably kick straighter. Fritch probably needs to banana kicks more when he is on a 45 degree angle as he seems to miss these the most. Go Dees

 

 

 

An absolutely incredible quarter. Every facet except... scoreboard. 

It'll be bloody amazing viewing on the replay... only if we win. Traumatic if we lose.

Keep the heat Dees.


Dangerous margin.. hopefully they come out breathing fire and kick straight 

The dreaded 30 point lead.

We should be another four goals up but it’s clear we are the better team, need to put them away early and kill this contest for good.

He is the best player in the league…absolutely huge

 

Tracc's significant goal on the training track from here on is to find some options by foot or hand when he gets the ball around the arc.  Needs to find some finesse or just kick it to the hot zone if no one available for BB/Macca to take a run at it and possibly Kozzie / Spargs mopping up.

Should come with alot of hard work but seems a fair way off it right now.

Closer to goal, within about 30, he appears much more dangerous.

They scored 1 goal from a50m that qtr to 4g 6pts to us

 

Game should be over

That was much better. We could have killed this game if we kicked straight. Game is still there to be won but we are doing very well. Brisbane will reset and come out firing. 
We must come out strong after half time. 

Yep, play the full 4 quarters Dees, there’s 2 weeks to rest at stake.

Whoah! Spooky. Should be 9 goals up, but more to come I reckon. No let up boys.

Welcome aboard Cam Mooney.

Remember last week. A margin like this is nothing. We have to keep playing fast and working hard. A couple of little bad signs in that last few minutes. Brown marked it outside fifty and didn’t pull the trigger on the pass as he had earlier…… 

Kepp. Working. Hard.

then what final score do we need?? 20.21.141 

McDonald started to get into it & lever  & max looked much better. Just need to keep doing what we did that quarter & finish off. But I would have taken this lead at 1/2 time especially at 1/4 time when it was close

Trac has been good in close. Two poor shots on goal and a bad entry undid all his good work but his work inside a big reason why we are so far ahead.

I'm giving Tommy benefit of fact that he may be parting Red Seas & we can't see on tellie? Love the man and deserves one at him lace out.


Oliver

Petracca

Fritter

Jacko 

Kozzie

Langdon 

gawn

Brown

all brilliant that quarter 

Joel Smith keeping Cameron quiet 

Salem seems to lack intensity

Good kicking is good footy

If tracc can kick straight / smarten up and we keep this up we should be ok

long way to go though - can’t write the lions off ever

I normally scoff at things like this but I’m open to being converted right now. 

Lions form coming into this game was a mirage. they are a better than average team and not much more

  • 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?

    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?
