    what the one he got when the guy wrapped an arm around his neck in the tackle?

    Come on mate, take off the blue and red glasses, there was a “little lean” into that.

    Definitely adults only over on the Port Adelaide Big Footy board.

    Suffice to say most vitriol directed towards the coach rather than the players

    What. Langers hasn't spent a second on the bench all year. Freak. Is he even human?

    I've heard they have trouble getting him off the ground for the half time break.

    Rd 1 2013 they killed us and set us up for a horror season resulting in the sacking of our coach.

    It's about time we returned the favour.

    Sorry if already covered, but can someone explain that 50m to Langdon for me?

    I get the free for holding, but why the 50?

    If the dogs can get 30 plus frees each week by gaming the system then I’m happy to get a couple as well 😂

    Can;t believe how bad Port are. I know they are depleted but no fight or spirit shown at all. Surely they'll give a yelp in the second half. If not then Ken will be in serious strife 

    They're trying.
    Just can't beat the whole ground defence.
    We're choking them to death.
    The Demons are Jiu Jitzu blackbelts.

    Looked pretty soft to me...

    I reckon Hinkley would give his left nut for a 2nd ruck right about now. Main thing I want to see is our mids setting up better on our Ruck advantage. Max should be smashing it 40 m like Fitzpatrick from now on. And can Viney and Picket keep smashing Lycett's shoulder. Port have been late with their hits repeatedly.

    port did well to hold us up forward of the ball

    Sparg and Picket have been good with the pressure tonight

    would like to see better ball movement in the forward line, they have worked Weid out of the game

    track being tagged again?

    Gawn has been great around the ground so far

    out of all the non vic teams, LOVE keeping this mob goalless to half time

    lets tear them a new one in the second half

    I will go into my personal debt for the rest of my life if it means keeping Jackson just one more season. Arguably a Top 20 player in the league already (but needs more exposed form).

    And to think there were some fools out there who wanted us to draft Hayden Young! Egg all over your face. PS. Don't look back through my post history in 2019.

    Haha. Yes I believe I was in the Hayden Young camp also. That super kick in his highlights package sucked me in.

    Even so, Weightman doesn’t do what Spargs just did and is hammered in here…. But of balance lad.

    The. Commentator mentioned  the give and receive or the ol soccer one-two. But I never knew that was actually a rule.

    Ugh Max's goal kicking still frustrates me. 

    At least we opened up the game but we have to continue on with it and really thrash Port. They will come out with nothing to lose and will probably play more freer. 

    I haven't minded McDonalds game, everytime he goes for goal I have full confidence he will kick it. 

    I don't know if it's because we have been spoilt by Farmer and Davey over the years but I just want Pickett to do something.

    When a player disposes of the ball to a teammate and try’s to run to link up the next play but is impeded by the opposition player it’s a free plus 50 metre penalty.

    They are too busy minding the likes of Tracc & Clarry in that first half to get enough of the pill themselves and get any  momentum.....so far anyway!

    Big Max is being mauled in the ruck and around the ground....as usual.  And of course zero protection but always called for blocking at the slightest hint.

    Lycett constantly wrapping left arm around Max and over the shoulder on a couple of occasions.

    The player just in front of their last guy who marked before the siren..... cannons in to Max's neck/head with no eyes/intention of going for the mark....zero protection/favours.

    Need to put the foot on their neck this quarter.

    Viney's had a very good half along with Jordan, May, Lingers, Nibbler & Gus (no doubt a few others ive left out).  I like Harmes's gut running and willingness to close up on multiple opponents to pressure when we don't have possession.   Gus, Bowey & Hunt also here.

    Tracc started to find some space in the latter half of the second.  Whoever his young opponent is, he's about to find out how hard he is to stop (if Port leave him on Tracc that is)

    P.S. who put the hand in to cause that turnover on our half of the square that quarter (thinking Sparrow, Nibbler or Harmes).

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
