You gotta love these boys. When they are up for the fight the fight is ferocious.

I know a lot won’t agree but I thought we were really good for 85% of the game the week before. We are building nicely.

Never in doubt.

That was our DNA tonight.

3 more to go lads..

 

The nastiness was back tonight….we’ve played far too nice for a lot of this season bout time we got angry 

Would love to hear from people at the game. How were we behind the ball? Looked like the set up was unreal. Did our forwards press up, or have they started to hang some one loose?

 

Go Bulldogs tomorrow night!!!!


Great Team win.

Viney is a much better when he looks where he is hand-balling but had a great game.   

Some concerns for me:

Weid he just can’t find form in the seniors. I think he had 1k 1m and 1g. it’s a real worry tbh. 

Jackson looks to be out of form big time. Could be playing with an injury but could also be his contract speculation playing on his mind. Didn’t see him in the team song either. 

I would consider resting Jacko and bringing in Tomlinson as a forward and put Weid in the ruck with Maxy. It could help him find form. 

I knew we had that in us and at our best with that mongrel intensity no one can beat us.

You watch us go from now on.

Get around Port, GWS, Adelaide and Richmond (to beat Collingwood, Sydney, Carlton and Brisbane respectively).

Let's see how many of last week's results we can reverse this week.

6-0 interstate in the one season.

Anyone else ever done that before?

Certainly not Collingwood - they never travel 6 times.

Went off with the doctor

OMG - not "The Fremantle Doctor" 😱.  

Excellent. Now to dispose of the filth next week.

Jack Viney is our barometer, those stats are astronomical. 
 

That should be the standard of pressure and contest for the whole team for the rest of the season, great win!! 


Jake Melksham continuing his surprise resurgence. Chased hard and provided a solid target on the lead. Probably should've finished with 2-3 goals 

Liking his game at the moment. Adds a different element to our forward line.

Pretty poor coverage with replays often taking precedence over live action, overlaid by commentary box prattle. 

We still haven't beaten anyone above us in the ladder

Jackson rucked well and jumped over his opponent consistently - hope he sees that the Dees are the team to stick with Dockers are real pretenders

  • 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?
