PF: Port Adelaide vs Bulldogs


Demonland

Recommended Posts

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!

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
