Can't keep carrying ANB in these sorts of games

Sorry adonski but you have to watch him live to appreciate his value to the team.

It was the lack of htb calls today that killed me.

 

So [censored] proud of the lads!! 😭

Oh, and Mason Cox go back to America you absolute filth!


Viney absolutely huge. Defence was so solid. May, Lever, Thommo, Hibbo was fantastic, Rivers got better and better after a shakey start.

Smith - so happy for him doubling his career goal tally today. Felt he started to look/feel at home at the level as the game wore on. Makes things interesting when Petty comes back.

Roo - crucial goal and did a lot of good things. Fritsch looking much more like his usual self - assuming he's worked through his foot issues from earlier.

Pathetic effort by the Pies publicising the supposed covid +flu sweeping their group this week. If the shoe was on the other foot we'd be crucified in the media for buttressing the excuse train like that.

We dominated that game. Make no mistakes this is the Port game in reverse. We kick straight and it’s a 6 goal win. 
Absolutely brilliant performance missing two very important players. 
 

I want to give a massive shout out to Smith and Tomlinson. Played perfect team roles. 
And McVee and JVR who are delivering beyond their years. 
 

A performance that makes you so proud. What an effort! 
 

Tomlinson has stepped in and played the third tall Petty role (which was the Tomlinson role pre-ACL) very well.

We badly missed that third tall back man while the Petty forward experiment was ruining both the forwardline and backline.

Wow.  Thought May had cost us that.. Very shakey.  

In reality should have been a 6 goal win, but we are devoid of confidence up front.  WHEN WILL IT END.

Defence was awesome today.  Contested ball amazing.

Special mentions to Joel Smith for competing - and the first halves of Judd McVee and Salem in particular.  I forgot how good Salem is, he just calms everyone down and some of the targets he hits, so good.

Disappointing again to get nothing out of Pickett, Spargo & Chandler.  Leaving too much for Fritta, we really need them to step up now.  Brayshaw was awful in the first quarter but battled on and got some useful touches.  Trac built and built but so wasteful!

Still painful to watch but we just beat the flag favourites.

Think I'd need a NASA telescope to appreciate what he 'does'

We just carried our entire small forward brigade.

Amazing coaching performance and team effort. Our structure was set up really well and clogged them up in the right places.

God King is an insufferable [censored]. He used to love us and now sucking Collinwood's d.

Other than that an unbelievably dominant win, should've been 40+ points. We look to be back to our 21' Premiership winning best. We can do it this year, no team is untouchable!

I LOVE our Dees! ❤️💙 Grit and determination prevailed!

We have it over all sides, in this area

If i would ask 1 question....

Is Chocco the best goal kicking coach going around? Its seems it was almost an afterthought when he was appointed. Surely this is an area in the modern game that seems to be overlooked. Cant we go out and get the best we can?


Goal kicking aside, offensive pressure just terrific - Pies absolutely [censored] themselves in there, so did we though but trapped it in 8 times out of 10. 

Not going to pretend that Van Rooyen was best on ground and I'm not going overcook the praise for what was overall just a pretty good game, but...

Van Rooyen didn't miss.

On a level with the Harmes-to-Fritsch clearance kick in the Grand Final for turning point moments.

And as he ran in for the shot he looked... happy. It was uncanny. It was as if he already knew it was a goal.

Umpire pooped his pants in the last ten minutes. Starting with the holding the ball that was called a push in the back. 

Having said that, go you mighty, mighty Dees. With the icing in the cake being a little more light shone on Mason Knobs

Standing over players on the ground. Mouthing off after losing. What a jerk

From AFL Members, lots of scattered pockets of empty seats. 83k seems spot on.

Embrace the imperfections people, we got it done!

Spot on!

It’s still only June - plenty of time to iron out the kinks and perfect our system and structure.

We just put the filth back in their place - let’s bask in that for a while! 

 

Suspect umpiring in the last.  Petracca in the back, Viney not in the back, Brayshaw being hung onto when they got that last clearance.  Almost like they wanted it to go down to the wire.

Shouldn't have been that close anyway.  Good win!

Like Tomlinson down back - is very reliable and good for Levers game. 

one of the weaker forward lines it must be said.  Did well today though.

 

Wow Jack Viney.

You are a BEAST. 

Glad you are on our team. 

GO DEES

  • 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?
