But but but we didn’t play 4 quarters of footy 🙄

Good hit out and nobody died.

Loved what McVee served up

We saw a response. 

Good sign, no doubt it would have been addressed during that third quarter. 

No injuries positive. Mcvee looks great. Hunter going to change us. Grundy will work into it. 


Trac looks like he has a noticeable limp. @Demonland

I have always thought so. I think it is just the way he walks.

Solid game first up. 
McVee impressive and Grundy will get better, that was his first competitive match for a while. Petty is still very good one on one back there.

Enjoyed the commentator talking about the Saints needing to find a way past Tom Petty as the spare man down back.

 

 

Hunter prolific

McVee classy and clean

Rivers busy - like the midfield move 

Bowey excellent marking/bodywork for a player of his size

Grundy a bit underwhelming

Gawn floating back freeing up Lever is 2021 vibes. Don't have to have perfect forward connection when the other team can't score.

 

Nice to see the short option at lockout too


My boy Hunter played well. Loved his disposal.

I liked Chandlers game as well

good workout overall

And I'm not holding out much hope of the Saints surprising Freo in Wk 1. Looks like a long season ahead for them.

Huuter coped a hit to his leg, late in that last quarter. 

Lever walked onto the ground at the end, minus a boot.

I liked Rivers game, was even organising the backline structure, and often first to support/encourage his mates.

Mcvee looks at home.

Given the size of his upper body, not really surprising. Then again his quads will also be tough to lug around, just massive thighs of striated meat.

i missed most of q2 cos of meetings, but based on what i did see of those four quarters:

- lever won't play round 1; plugger back, Fritsch comes in
- mcvee replaces salem as small defender
- chandler required in 23 as pickett given more room to roam
- grawndy still a work in progress
- hunter will be a weapon as a second wingman
- rivers ahead of sparrow and jj as next rotation mid

Wasn't huge on Grundy today. Thought most of his taps went to the opposition and his disposal was simply meh.

Still thrilled we got him, hopefully he works into some form before the start of the season.


Phillipou said he was the best player in the draft and he might be right.  Brad Hill got plenty of it with some good run. Both good dreamteam options. Wilkie was decent. The only bright spots for the Saints, it's going to be a long season for them.

We aren’t going to play 8 defenders unless one of them dominates this game so Riv will just be a rotation. Sparrow will continue playing good minutes, he was better than people think 

Think a 10 goal win is what most of us would have hoped/expected. 
 

Trac break tackles with ease, Hunter showing what a draft steal that was, Rivers and Kozzy getting decent midfield time and McVee’s cool defending were some of the highlights for me. 


McVee was great looks to be another great Taylor pick up.

bowey 1 on 1 was improved significantly 

hunter a draft steal 

Grundy and Gawn still combined for 3 goals let’s be honest if that’s a weekly occurrence then that will work brilliantly

People splaying Lever won’t play rd1, due to a rolled ankle. Is that hyperbole and MFCSS?? 

If it’s just a rolled ankle he’ll be fine, depends on if any ligament damage.

when things are glum there's worse to come!

  • 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?
