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)

 

 

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. 


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

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


I will enjoy the replay now !

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

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.

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

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

How is levers shoulder?

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.

  • 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?
