This team is hard to read correctly at the moment

Ya think? I read that game like an absolute page turner and was very happy with the plot.


We won this without the best ruckman this century.

Get Maxy as fresh as can be for finals.

The cheer squad was ordinary, but otherwise the game was great.

Ordinary??!! You’re being too kind. They were sh*it-house!!!

“We should’ve lost the game by a lot more than we did” - Chris Fagan.

Curious, merely quoting Fages? Or hammering home a view that you're still perpetually disappointed by the team?

For Thursday night game against an interstate team, that crowd was a brilliant result. We pulled in more than Richmond vs Port on Thurs night, despite nearly 50,000 less members across teams playing. 

Brilliant effort Dees fans. Ignore the noise about our crowds for dopey pelicans like Caro. We’re third highest average home attendance in the league. Were more loyal than anyone. Hats off!

Aaaand officially an attendance record between these clubs in home and away season. Brilliant effort to achieve that on a Thursday night!

Our supporters should be highlighted and praised in the media. Our attendance has been awesome this year.

The bloke with the mike was in the way, and yet you still couldn’t hear the questions asked. You’d think they would have sorted it out for Fagan, but no.

I find this talk of "loading" relevant to my interests.

 

Please tell me moar

Direct quote I nearly fell off my chair 

When we play our game plan and everyone plays their role , it’s Dees footy and it’s the best footy going around.

When the stakes are for real the boys stand up and show who is number one.

That is a fantastic crowd for a Thursday night game.

I actually think Jackson as a ruck doubles down on our pressure game.

On the train now next to Titus O’Reilly who seems rather chuffed.

Had real concerns in the first quarter but it finally clicked. The zone reformed, the tackling pressure returned, our clean up at ground level began to take shape and the link up handballs that have been missing for the past three weeks happened.

Jack Viney, take a bow…you willed us back into that game yourself and the team followed.

I had major concerns about the lack of contested marks we’d be able to take but it didn’t matter, it took care of itself. The flow returned.

My favourite part of the night was not having to even notice May or Petty after quarter time because they just did their job, allowing the true Jake Lever to take flight.

The feeling is good. Let’s hope this is the return of what we want and expect from this team.

Go Dees and back in your box Brisbane.

Hopefully Fages' discusses loading in his presser.

Great win.

But they were clearly super fatigued.

I had my binos on their bench for a bit in the third, and then at their 3/4 time huddle.

They were completely exhausted.

 

I do like this thing that happens whenever Bailey Fritsch kicks a goal midway through the third quarter.

 

Note of credit to Sam Weideman; he actually took a lot of ruck contests tonight and made a pretty good fist of it, as well as competing pretty well in general. He basically provided the extra option for Jackson in the way that Jackson provides it for Gawn. It got the most out of Jackson and seemed to also get a good level of engagement from Weideman as well.

It may even be a consideration for when Gawn is available again; the seeming madness of having two rucks and a ruck-forward, made possible by the fact that both rucks have clearly completely forgotten they are rucks and just run around doing all kinds of non-ruck things all day!


Jack Viney fully fit is a scary sight

The media talks about our pillar mids of Clarry and Trac, but a 100% fit Viney is arguably on the same level

He has been massive for the past month, long may it continue

Chris Fagan is all class - such a great bloke.

FAGAN WAS RIGHT … “LIONS WERE LUCKY THAT THE DEES DIDNT KICK STRAIGHT” … IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ANNILIATION

Impressive by Fagan. Clearly disappointed in his team tonight. Real professional. 

 

Was critical of him last week but boy oh boy was he huge today, Rick Lever you legend!! 

Just the game he needed to get into some form. 

The growing exasperation of the Brisbane fans behind me every time he took an intercept mark was marvellous. 😂

I legitimately thought the cheer squad did a fantastic job all game, and really lifted in the second half and brought it home magnificently. Kudos to all. Made me proud.

  • 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?
