Taxing game and a five day break to the Bulldogs

it's ok

We're loaded

Some stats

 

Hitouts to advantage Us 7 PA 9

Scores fm stoppage Us 25 PA 45

Game Pressure 175 to 145 PA (prob to be expected in the heat but geez that was low for us)

 

We’re the worst 13-4 team! But a win is a win.

The occasional spark, mostly Kozzie - a star - but we seem down on basic confidence and dare. Still waiting for the Demons bulldozer to start up…it’s possible but hard to replicate a finals run like last year. 

Let's get out of dodge 

Great performance by our backline. May and Hibberd in particular were rock steady and Tomlinson looked at home in the absence of Petty.

Kozzy has been threatening to tear a game apart like this since his first year. Unreal performance.

.having not seen a second of this game did we wear our indigenous jumper seeing as we were in the Alice?

No Oliver no worries. Will be a handy in next week.

4 points that's all we need

Hard to drop Tommo after that performance. Was better than May.

Why can’t Salem kick?

He's lost his skills space jam style. Mongrel kicks and touched off the boot multiple times. May not much better

Legend

I will enjoy the replay now !

How is levers shoulder?

Fair dinkum, it’s hard to please some people. Those who want to keep digging for negatives good luck to you, Mondays are always better with a win.

No one said doing a repeat is easy, most should be happy we are at least giving ourselves a chance. 
 

Those thinking the win was average or not too impressive. Port were 7-3 coming the game. If they lose they are basically out of finals. They had only one injured player

enjoy the win guys

Read the game day thread, then look at our position on the ladder, then shake your head and decide whether to laugh or cry.

Are you new to Demonland 😁

Just glad to get the win against a plucky Port without Clarry.

Absolutely DZ. I prefer to think this is the kick start needed.

I thought Jordon and Langdon worked their guts out all game on the wings. Both played great IMHO

Given there are only two 13-4 sides with just a few % points between them I would say we are equal best...

Didn’t want to raise his arm during the song to put it around May’s shoulder. So not good 

Very brave to play on. I reckon he’ll be out next week. Hopefully only one week but who knows

What a grinding win that was.

Kossie, you are a little ripper. 3 Votes for you.

Forward connection still a problem. Thank heavens for our backline.

Melk.... your chase/rundown was something i didnt think you had in you.

I'll take that.

I liked it, too.

You havent seen enough of that already!?

Traditional today and thats the way it should be outside of the designated indigenous games.

Solid win without Petty, with Lever injured and obviously without Oliver, considering Port can still make finals.

The season is a grind at times and this game exemplified it.

We werent much better last year at this point. Just grinding out wins - which is absolutely vital. It’s frustrating to watch when you know we have other gears. But at the end of day, regardless of how we win at this point, supporters should be happy. Top 4 is the aim. We have some big games coming up.
