Watching this at a sports bar in Hoi An Vietnam. Tiger on tap. Awesome 👌 

I'll be flying over your head  (Nha Trang back to Hanoi; le tour de in-laws) about 30mins after the game finishes. Sometimes even a flight delay is favourable, although listening through a mobile in a packed airport waiting area isn't ideal!

    It was a push, totally stupid and unnecessary by Langdon.

    I thought it was a push live but didn't think it would get called. It was hands on the back but he barely gave him any momentum.

    We can thank Tom Hawkins for that one not being a goal

    Are TMac and Weed just decoy forwards these days?

    Clearances a huge concern.

    If Harmes is running with Coniglio he is getting thrashed.

     

    5 disposals and two marks combined. Pretty poor.

    Need to lift, claw back some clearances. It's feeling like last year only we have the slender lead this time.

    Let’s be honest if there wasn’t a big uproar in the media about Hawkins push in the back then that would never be paid

    Langdon tiny push in the goal square.
    BS free.

    It deserved to be paid just out of langdons stupidity alone. Like what on earth was he thinking. That coupled with Mcdonald holding on to their ruckman's arm in the ruck contest and Harmes kicking into the man on the mark are some of the dumbest plays I've see this year. 

    Another game that will be neck and neck until deep into the 4th because we couldn't ice the game sooner.

    But it made 0 difference to the goal going through so why does it need to be paid? Makes no sense.

    Because pushing a player in the back is dangerous.

    Bfs

    Was innocuous and off the ball, never gets paid...

    Happens multiple times in every game and is never paid.

    Giants always pick off Gawns taps.he needs to hit onto the outside. 

    If you are tallkimg punching it any angle towards goal over the top of the inner ring of players.....Yup!!

    Also Clarry and Tracc need to handball to outside preferrably Lingers side so he can run on to it.  All these 2 to 4 foot hand balls, even Viney is guilty,  bringing the heat on us around the ball and too easy for the Giants to get a hand in and steal or spoil.

    Go further / wider and changle lanes pls

    Took me a minute .... But you're right.

    Getting out worked, out tackled, disposals either just behind or making the player prop.

    They have prob 7 smothers, heaps of shepherds, think we have 0 of both.

    Because you can't push people in the back anywhere on the field.  Free kick

    GWS have brought the heat. not sure if we have faced much heat so far this year, dogs?

    They have but I think we’ve handled it well, only difference being that’s the Giants best and we’re running at about 75-80%. That Kosi non handball to Fritsch was effectively a two goal turn around.


    Lever ismoving fine in the warm ups thankfully. Let’s do him a favour and not let the ball ping down there quite so frequently, hey Clarry?

     

    edit: Autocorrect

    We aren’t playing very well, and should still be 6-7 goals up if not for poor umpiring. GWS really are hopeless. Without umpire assistance they’d probably be about 10 points.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • 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?

      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?
