8goal Adelaide 1st qtr.
The 2nd and 3rd quarter was some of the best footy I'd ever seen us play till then.
Then we choked in the last.
A very Melbourne game.
Talk about roller coaster of emotions.
I was devo.

I'll always remember watching Trapper interviewed after the game.
He was the happiest loser I'd ever seen.

 


 

We didn’t actually choke…we were spent and had nothing left to give after quarters 2 and 3. We had players throwing up at 3/4 time from the effort given up to that point. 68 point turnaround from quarter time to just before 3/4 time. Will never forget the emotional roller coaster.

    Excuses, excuses on our own dung heap.

    Our draw against the Swans R1 2011 is currently on Foxtel. Bennell just kicked a ripper.

    The 2002 Semifinal vs Adelaide was probably the craziest game I've been to, even though we lost. Travis Johnstone and that 3rd quarter were something else.

    Will also go down as the night I got incredibly drunk in a pub in Adelaide post game (using a fake ID) and a Port fan tried hitting on me and I told him to [censored] off. Good times.

    Lol at deluded Port losers thinking they can hook up with classy Demon women.

    My memory of the 87 PF is not a good one and it’s one match Fox Footy play too much. 

    It's 88not 87.

    • 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?
