    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.

    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

    Who cares about a good grand final? I want a boring thrashing from Melbourne

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
