Jackson and Bowey, so glad they’re ours right now. Brilliant games by both.


Pressed hard but held on as needed.  Bloody hot and humid. 
 

PS Tracc is so well spoken. A true leader on and off the field.

Good teams get wins when they play poorly. We played very poorly, but fact is we are missing most of our backline, had a short preseason and we’re in unfamiliar humid conditions.

 

Personally, I am very glad to bank to 4 points

 

Was a good game up to half time. Grind after that and GC never looked like winning. 


Gus needs to go back to the wing. 
Spargo trying to mark it on the wing is ridiculous. 
Bowey and Jackson are insane. 
This entire game is never to be spoken of again. Let’s move on.

Had some genuine concern for this game given we haven't played up there for a while and are missing some class in the backline, plus the Suns are alright. Very alright.

It was a slog, but we get the 4 points.

Let's get back and prepare for a big one v the Bombers.

Bowey is super.

Go Dees!

Jake Bowey should be ineligible for the Rising Star when he already is a star.

 

It’s beneath him and would be an insult to nominate him. 

Bowey was poise personified. Can't remember him look flustered or screw up a disposal all career.

Trac you champion. So humble and grounded after a 41 possession game, and throws in the cheeky comment about getting Dogga signed up at the end too. Finger on the pulse.

Still hasn’t played in a losing team. Long may it continue.

Max will not play like that next week.

Bowey seriously you are just so composed & never wastes the ball.

Got the win that's all we had to do. 

Get ready for next week

Clumsy, clunky game with little skill to speak of, and the Dees much-touted defence seemed to allow the Suns a lot of space emerging from stoppages.

Trac, Bowey and Jackson - wow and well done.

Some of the kicking tonight was horrendous, probably due to heat, fatigue, humidity. Even Spargo's kicking was horrible at times.

But I will take the win. The ugly ones are important ones.

Misread that as "Max will not play next week" and had a heart attack thinking I'd missed an injury report.

 

I'll take it. We may have been scrappy but the game was played in very difficult conditions and Gold Coast are generally dangerous team early in the year.

I was very impressed with some of our young players. Luke Jackson is an absolute gun. I'm amazed that Bowey has only played 9 games. He's already playing like a senior footballer.

 

Bowey 150 ranking points.

Dogaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh......

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
