I wish Id followed my own advice pointed out the dogs were at three dollars twenty for some strange reason

    The ball hits the ground and there are 4 Dogs to 2 Port. Port's lack of intensity is appalling. 

    And simply not handling any pressure. So much fumbling

    Just imagine if the umpires hadn't gotten the Dogs home last week with all that BS umpiring. We'd be playing Port or Brisbane in the GF.

    Still makes me angry.

    Wow so many similarities to last night. Port are slow, second to the ball and the Dogs are taking their chances! Geelong and Port were not PF teams and both teams were basically witches hats! We have beaten the doggies twice this year too and with no injuries on our end we have to stay positive and trust this new Melbourne team in the Granny! Go Dees!

    Well this is a disaster. 

    Agreed. We should’ve just lost to the Cats last night to put our minds at ease.

    Is there a worse coach in the AFL than Ken Hinkley? 
    Tactically he is awful.

    I might have a look at the Big Footy/Port forum.

    I'm sure they'll be blaming the coach.

    Of course - as the players left at half time, were the Port fans booing Dogs, their own players or coach?

    Dogs are +26 in contested possessions and +9 in clearances.

    Hard to beat them with that level of midfield dominance.

    In fairness, they are getting them vs Port not us.

     

    PS - and they aren't even needing to throw (much)

    If l recall, last time we played Dogs we kicked innacurately & got within 4 points of them in the last before they kicked away. We can beat Dogs in 2 weeks just gotta take our chances.

    Dogs on a wide ground scare me but if May gets up i think we have their forwards covered.

    As much as Gawn won't play a game again like last night, Mitch won't play another like tonight.

    We really need to show up at the contest though. Everything is built from it, the Dogs have A grade mids on their wings and bench.

    Take courage from 2018, Eagles and Pies smacked their opponents before playing one of the best Grand Finals you will ever see.

    This will be a good GF.

    I don’t think i have ever seen a team play so badly in a Home Preliminary Final

    This could cost Hinkley his job if it continues in the second half

    We know how they will play on Lever at least. 
    Who takes Naughton? Gonna have to be Smith - nobody can match his athleticism.

    Doggies are still vulnerable down back so we will need a huge effort in the midfield but I think our brand is better suited to finals. Port is just flattering them tonight.

    Their mids dominated also, I’d think ours would give a better showing this time round.

    Sets up a ripper of a GF

    Port HAVE to come out and crack some heads. Lycett and Dixon should have free reign to jump on the Bont’s knees 

    Port have had the extra week off, no quarantine, sleeping in their own beds and no injuries and at home! They will never live this down unless they come out breathing fire.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
