Ordinary start but we went on to crush a pretender side.

That's what premiers do!!!

Then we give away junk time [censored] which costs me a big  40+ margin bet . FMD !!!!  FMD again !!!!!!!

 

For the majority of that game it was like watching a boa constrictor slowly crush it's next meal. We were really disjointed trying to go inside fifty though. Hawthorn at their peak would have won that game by 20 goals. 


So much wrist slitting.

We conceded 35 points

We are 4 and 0

Plenty of people have short memories, not long ago we were rubbish.  This was a complete defensive effort

Neal Bullen spending so much time in the middle of the ground is part of the problem why we can’t keep the ball inside 50 for as long.  

One of the most painful wins I've watched but it's still a win. Gawn, Harmes, May, Langdon and Jordan played well, not much else to take out of it except it was a win without Oliver and Petracca starring.

Hope Wines is OK.

lol

I was there in 1997 at Footy Park when Port ended Balme's coaching career. 


Never looked like losing it to be honest, but won’t be rewatching any of that. That was a grind. 

Well done James Jordan, best game he’s played for us. 

Had we not been coming off 2 6 day breaks that would have been an 80 point win. The game was over at half time.

Best team defence in the game by a country mile.

Same here! 👿


Maxy back to his best

Very solid defensively

I won't be watching the replay

Another 4 points in the bag

Move on

That was like watching 2022 Melbourne play 2014 Melbourne.

Ruthless.

Port flooded hardcore they were trying to minimise the damage all match…off 2 short breaks and 2 interstate trips not sure why any of our supporters could be upset by that…

Mega Frustrated- gift kills where we could have won by 20 goals are so rare  this was a big missed opportunity.

Still very happy for the win, and I loved tehe deefence.

Love how we are banking wins playing in second gear. 

Offence will switch on when we need. 


Percentage won't matter if we never lose again.

We clearly put the cue in the rack at the end of the game, and if you don't believe that, Ed Langdon was on the bench at the end of the game.

Ok again 

how long since we won 4 wins start. Two years in a row. Must be in the 50’s

Defensive side of our game was brilliant tonight. Work out the forward entry's and some poor side is going in the history books.

 

Feels weird to feel unsatisfied when 4-0. We just know we can play so much better than we’ve shown this far this year. Doesn’t matter as long as we click into gear later in the year when it matters.

Carn the Dees!!

We did what we needed to do - nothing flash but an absolutely strangling defence.

Need to spruce up our inside 50 delivery considerably ...... most were random and ugly. Felt sorry for weed and Fritter - even BBBBB would have struggled.

  • 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?
