when you dominate a quarter and a half and only kick 4.10 it's going to come back and bite you.

 

Mcpherson a nice specky in the pack and kicks truly.ย  Three in a row for the Doggys now.

Hibb with 20 disposals putting his hand up for the job on Paps this week

Hibberd with 13 possessions in the 2nd quarter. Making a statement.

I love Hibbo. He only knows one way. Straight through.


Leading Disposals to half time...

Hibb20, Jordan 17 (1 goal), Laurie 13, Dunstan 12 (1 goal), Turner 11

For who though Chook?

Dunstan is more likely for Harmes.ย  Getting a fair bit of it so far.ย  Needs to clean up the disposal somewhat

Melksham. Canโ€™t see why Jordon couldnโ€™t replace Harmes either. Also Hibberd for McVee - going well at Casey. Schache for Max.ย 

ย 

Great to see several players putting their hands up and keeping pressure on the seniors.ย

Jordon has been quality and ย should replace Harmes.

Hibberd had got a lot of ball sweeping but I am not convinced anymore on him defensively. McVee would be very stiff to not play round 3 being Cameron took one mark and kicked 2 goals on a night when our backs were massively under the pump. ย 

Schache has not hurt his chances but interesting that JVR seems to have been preferred to relieve in the ruck behind Bell. Whether to play Schache, JVR or both is still up for grabs based on their second half output.ย 


Jordon completely dominating in the midfield. Direct replacement for Harmes thanks.

Hibbo still got it. You'd think he'd come in for McVee who I actually thought battled well. Another senior head down back won't hurt.

Schache the dominant forward so far. Has already taken 5 marks in the first half and unlucky not to have a couple of goals on board.

Special mention to Bailey Laurie. Looks complete different player to what he was last year. Class, poise and distributing well.

Rough end of the half losing some centre clearances and getting beat by some good efforts by the Dogs forwards.

JJโ€™s been impressive with his ability to cover the ground and contested work in important contests. Whether heโ€™s truly an inside mid just yet is another question but heโ€™s certainly pushing for a spot and they can move wingers and find room for him. Heโ€™s kept it simple.

Dunstanโ€™s been Dunstan.

Hibboโ€™s had some good moments, heโ€™s certainly still a star at this level.

Howes flashes brilliance just needs to get more playing at half back. K Turner has more work to do on his kicking than I thought previously but heโ€™s very willingย 

Scacheโ€™s been the best of the key forwards taking marks and drawing free kicks. JVRโ€™s best has been enticing but heโ€™s made a few unusual errors with his kicking. Has been involved though which is good.

Iโ€™ve really liked the game of Max Gregory aka Fake Bowey.ย 

Sounds like the commentary is coming from a bathroom.ย 

Dunstan, Schache & Bell doing well so far early in the third

Great goal from the left pocket from Hannen grrr


Anyone know where Verrell and the other young ruck is? ย And is a disco out there?

Hannan having a pretty mad third term.ย  Him & Mcpherson bringing the Dogs back into it.

Holding call against the Doggys in the Square sees JVR get his first to get one back


Moniz a snap for his first kick (jkgs) and goal

ย 

great goalย 

Sestan crazy snap out of the ball up about 30 out

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, itโ€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itโ€™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 psychologistย  Itโ€™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 letโ€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedย 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).ย

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Caseyโ€™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 ruckmanโ€™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 Demonsโ€™ 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?

    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?
