A highly entertaining game.

 

I was worried at times!

Glad the Demons got the job done.

A great win!

 

GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

We can kick scores with a more mobile forward line. I am very pleased that Goody pulled the trigger on Petty forward and Tomlinson staying back. Again Smith came in and was effective and played his role.

 

Our side is showing some great resilience at the moment and that never say die attitude. I think we're in a much better headspace at the moment than a month ago and we are evolving as a side as well. I used to think we wouldn't stand up in a shoot out but they are bucking the trend there!

Yes Bitters.... that game went a long way to helping solve the forward conundrum

I will enjoy the replay


Petty is overrated.

Holy [censored] that was one exciting game to watch!

We just griiiiiiinnnnd them away!

Petty and JVR were [censored] unreal.

Maxy on that performance alone should be a 7 time All Australian. That was [censored] nuts

Give Melksham another contract. He's best 22 for the rest of the year.

Go you [censored] dees!

A really solid performance. What a win!

An intense high pressure cracking game !!!

The toiges did us for pressure and intensity early and had our measure.

But .... along came Max ... big bad Max the mountain!!!

You will NEVER see a better performance in the ruck - EVER !!!!

A number of other top performances but I must single out Petty. He played more like  a forward than any other forward ( bar Fitta ) than we have played this year.

A very tough game - fortunate to have Norf next week.

GO DEES !!!!!

Good post Uncle. Credit to Richmond who swang all day. Props to Petty. Maybe the fwd line is fixed. But Max was on another level after half time. 

Vintage Gawn. Can't be stopped.

That win is  a  strong message to the other clubs.

 

In the pre game thread I hoped Petty would kick 2 goals and take 4 contested marks.

Will have to watch the replay to assess whether he met expectations.

Wish they would start these games a little earlier so we can see the song after. Live Ladder now has us finishing 2nd but what would live ladder know.


We are timing our run to the flag perfectly. Can't expect perfection, but the momentum is real

EPIC upon EPIC!!  We are on the march to September, and in it up to our necks!! We have sorted our forward structure ….  as Goody said we would!  Who says Max is no longer the AA ruckman?  Pffft!  Go Dees!!  We all love you!

That’s footy!

Hate to be that guy but (like I suggested) they left the press at home and just let the boys play and it was fun!

And actually, you know, HELPFUL FOR EMBEDDING A BATTLIN’ FORWARD LINE WITH CONFIDENCE AND PURPOSE.

Keep doing that the rest of the year and we will finish wherever in the top 4 with a forward line that knows itself.

That dropped mark he will be lucky to hold his place next week.

We've got a forward!

Got a forward line.

Petty six.

Jvr and Milk four.

Kozzie two.

Chandler one

Over 100 points.

How good was Petty! I was sceptical of playing him forward but I've changed my mind. Everything he touched turned to gold.

All in all, I'm thrilled with that win. That was a very high pressure game and we held up brilliantly. Still got another four games left but I'm much more confident heading into the finals than I was this time last year. 

Just imagine, Clarrie and Fritta are to come into that team to strengthen it...truly!

Always trust Goody and the SC

they reward the right players

in Petty they see a gun key fwd when many of us doubted it. 

what a win!!

Milkshake has hit an excellent patch of form. He's all class at the moment

A lot of it is stuff you don't even notice until you watch a replay.

No one should ever question Petty again. 

That song with the families was fantastic.

 

second place is there for the taking

  • 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?

    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?
