Bit harsh on Smith . There are a lot of people who lose one on ones against CHarlie, But not many that can keep up with him (see the replay 3rd Q I think )

 

Why does smith get a pass, his opponent single handedly kept lions in the game, the number of times he was out of position or caught ball watching is unacceptable, granted he was playing on a good player but given the lions supply Cameron should not have had anywhere near the influence he did. Smith should not been seen again this year after that performance

Feeling a bit wired and flustered. 

One game to go (maybe two), and a two week wait to play.

Usually watching the finals as a kind of neutral supporter with a small lean to the underdog.

Wow, in the box seat!

Winning games when we are favourites, can't remember when we did that on a regular basis.

Such a great year, like a 'coming of age" story.

Such a great week, all Australians, a rising star, a captain, a coaches award, then this win.

Go Dees!

So many top efforts it’s hard to know where to start: Rivers, Kossie, ANB...  You could almost list the whole team.

I was particularly impressed with Sparrow’s game and I thought Langdon was back to his first half season form where he gets all the way up into the forward line and hits the score board. First time he has kicked a goal since round 13. I wonder whether they’ve been saving this part of his game for finals. 

My only concern is TMac. He’s never been fast but he seemed particularly slow today and lacked awareness of what was happening around him. I’d back him in but gee I hope he can find some of his form from earlier in the season.

Blessed are the Dees for they have earned back the respect of the football world.  Two more games and they will become the hallowed ones.

GO DEES!

[censored] yes!!!! 

Let's go boys!!!

Or just get a job as a truckie

Where do you begin, what a team. Oli in the first half was the best in the game, Tracc on par in the second half.

Once we were able to slow down the Lions ball movement, the structure/defence just leaning back on the ropes before punching out of the clinch is a site to behold. A little nervy this week with such a young group but settled into it.

Long gone are the days you just knew we’d be rolled over after a good half of footy, we’d run out of gas, couldn’t finish etc etc. 

A sad pleasure of the night was my amazing wife sitting next to me deeply engrossed in the game for the second half. She’s not much of a footy/sports fan (was a Bombers fan growing up) but last night she was as engaged as I was and jumping up and down and clapping through the last qrt. It was a pleasure to have someone to enjoy it with, sad for not being able to share with a group of Dees mates and other family. 

Cant wait to watch the replay with my 5yr  this morning. 

Go Dees!!!

We didn’t even play our best. Second quarter we looked deadly, but we can play better. Certainly not our best night in defense and yet… 

We lost the clearances, kick poorly from set shots and didn’t defend the ground ball particularly well. If it clicks in the next few games the opposition won’t get close.

Right on, maybe I'm deluded from years of watching this team however again I felt we should have won by another 3-4 goals.  I think we have another level

I’m pretty sure the commentators (on the Fox broadcast) made mention that the switch was made on Cameron from Salem to Smith. Perhaps in the quarter time break. 

They were wrong. 

Ecstatic for some of the faithful that got to see the boys live last night. There was a bit of noise there, it sounded like it anyway.

Nearly 14k there, not bad considering a 20k cap. 

Firstly, if we kick straight and are more efficient then this is 60+ point smashing. It’s baffling that we somehow managed to go goalless in the third quarter but that was not for lack of good play it was just poor use at the final point. They (the Dees players) made us (the fans) earn the win but we were far an away the better team from quarter time onwards. 

Oliver is a beast, I don’t think I’ve had more love for a Melbourne player. He is such a gun and the best thing is that now he is also hitting the scoreboard. He had so many score assists and if the forwards had done their job they would turn into more goal assists. But for them not to tag him was just plain ludicrous. 

Fritta brings so many smiles to my face, 50+ goals already from a mid-size forward is incredible. Looking back on how he came to the club and how we got him through the Jack Watts pick you really have to take your hat off to the Goody and the selectors. 

Prelim final means we get to relax and hope that the cats and GWS beat up on each other.

Does anyone else think we need a new coach or am I the only one?

Still, maybe, need a goal kicking coach.

31. Bailey Fritsch, the Coldstream Cougar ….   That’s a new one!!

Mark Williams needs a ton of recognition for last nights performance.  Look at the Melbourne players with the best disposal efficiency last night. The much maligned ANB, Smith, Viney, Sparrow, and Harmes are right up there.

Thankyou goody for taking off those players. Even though may was filthy

jake Lever nevers comes off. He wouldn't know where the bench was.

ANB, I have been eating Crow and Humble Pie this year over you and last night fully choked on them. Great game last night, if not your best and in a final. Well done son, you are a valued member of the team and I was wrong to want you delisted.

There are two type of demonalanders.

1. Those who were critical and questioned the value of Viney & Brayshaw at any point this year.

2. Those who didn’t. 
 

I know where I stand. 

I criticised Viney but not Brayshaw. what does that make me? 😁

Edited by BDA

 

Trac must have heard my sons comment on how inept he had been at times coz he then kicked 2.!!!!!

I am amazed at how loosely they play on him (Trac, not my son).

And could someone tell me where do I find the "Do anything you like to Viney" in the rule book?

Loved that hard groundball clash he had with McCarthy.  They both went in hard and neither one went head-first looking for the cheap free.  Perfect technique from both players, great contested clash and Sparrow damn near killed the guy when they hit.  🤣

  • 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?
