I thought Tomlinson was good, which is significant.  He might be needed next week, even with the likely inclusion of Petty.  If I’m not mistaken, Rick Lever winced when he tried to put his arm around a teammates shoulder during the song.  It was only  a fleeting moment.  I think I’m correct, but obviously hope I’m wrong.

    Well I am actually relieved with the win. It is no great surprise we got beaten in the midfield as having Oliver out is like having a giant puncture mark to the chest. Also thaught there were some positives. Kozzie was a bonus and hopefully he can put some more performances like that in for the rest of the year. Tomlinson was surprisingly good today as well. BBB played his best game for the year and hopefully take some confidence out of today. The high kickers in to the forward line should also learn to pass it onto his chest.

    He’s gotta be sore after hurting his shoulder like that, but hopefully not injured.

    Think you mean Barings.

    Auto spell check. Sux. Barings deleted from all dictionaries as well it seems.

    Very few people in history can step into Oliver’s role 

    Geez - I never said to have an Oliver impact. Someone who can break even and not get walked over. didn’t think I needed to spell that out. But as Goodwin says , learnings.

    Back pocket Brayshaw is the only one

    Our second tier mids in Harmes/Sparrow aren't good enough to get close

    Brown starting to hit a few straps.Early days but some signs

    Got almost 10 marks, which is saying something. Hopefully can expose the Doggies backline next week.

    When's the loading end party?

    30th July, day after the Freo game 🤞🤞

    We were very bursty today. Periods where it looked like we were running in treacle with concrete boots on, then we activated for 5 minutes and put a few goals on the board with high pressure and gut running forward chains. Call it momentum or whatever, but it was a strange one. 

    So happy for Kozzy too. Put on an absolute show.

    Play Petty in Tomald's spot, and Petty down back.

    That would really test his aerobic capacity.

    And speaking of being petty... 😄

    Tommo in Tomald's spot and Petty down back is what I meant.

    I'll bring the vino, cheese and Jatz Crackers!

    Everything looked so hard, skills were way off. This performance from Kozzie is what it's all about though!

    Gawn not himself at all and is clearly is being hampered. Anyone know anything about the injury he has and if he’s going to just labour thru the rest of the year now or get better?

    I was starting to give up hope! We're only equal top! I remember so many years of just a squigin of hope of making the four if we won the last five games!

    It's odd, Trac and Viney had good games but our midfield was run over to easily.

    Rivers and Tomlinson exceptional down back today. Salem solid although i've never seen him kick the ball into the man on the mark before.

    Brown showed up for 1 quarter,  we didn't do anything differently to make him play better he just randomly started clunking marks.

    Really think we need to run another tall forward, Bedford was nowhere near the ball today. If McDonald is injured surely JVR has a tank to do the running that Brown just can't do.

    They are playing at their optimum. we are not. If we can hit peak form in September we will beat them. I've no doubt about that

    Kozzie was electric, a joy to watch.

    Backline very solid. May & Salem can both improve.

    Trac, Viney & Lingers all good.

    BBB showing positive signs.

    Spargo did some good things that led to goals.

    Maxy not great but serviceable and will get better!

    The two players Demonlanders didn’t want in Bedford almost unsighted and Melksham did a few good things and slowed Alir first half, but he does look slow & fumbly.

    All in all take a win against Port team that had a crack, a bit frustrating that they kicked last three goals.

    Still happy to win.

    Equal top and with the stingiest defence in the competition while not having been at our best.

    People with better knowledge than me say that defence wins premierships.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
