Are we actually the fittest team, like Binman (or George?) says? 37 points to 3 from late in the 3rd. What a performance!

Magnificent win !!!!  We toughed it out finals style!

Fritta - he's back ! What an effort. Fairy tale stuff.  Simply outstanding.

Melky - sadly a question mark.

Umpiring - inconsistent.    

That Grand Old Flag a coming .  I can feel it in my nethers.  

Haha I wish you’d keep your hand off your nethers, BBO.

Devastated for Melksham.

Bloody hope it’s not as bad as it looks. He’s absolutely earned his place in this team and we need his dynamism 👌 


Best win of the season in a finals like atmosphere / cauldron.  So much CHARACTER!

The belief, the will to win. Most teams would have stuck the cue in the rack. Not us.

2 years on from the famous night in Geelong too, it's in the blood.

That's one of my favorite wins for long time.

A team with such pride in the jumper that instead of taking the easy, cruisy path, as highlighted in the fox stats noted above, they dug in and said, nup, the dees win.

Just fantastic.

I am so proud to be a dees fans.

I’ve never done my ACL, but I have torn the meniscus in my knee and, for what it’s worth, it looked exactly like what Melksham did. 
 

 

Avatars are funny. After reading that I was visualising George Bluth Sr. playing AFL and doing his meniscus. 


Judd McVees defensive capability was brilliant. I always loved Nev Jetta and I see similarities with McVee's one on one defence but his ability to drive on transition is at another level.

Same here but I couldn't walk . Milk was walking on the boundary for a little without a clear limp.

So hopefully he's ok but as Jaded pointed out, he hugged Goody.

Maybe it was an all good embrace 

You can't understate how impressive that win is.

Swans were playing for a home final and had the emotional motivation of Buddy's farewell behind them. They were all over us in that third quarter and we slowly worked our way back into the match. Full credit to our leaders in Petracca, Gawn and Viney who kickstarted the fightback. 

Gotta mention Laurie as well. Had some important touches when he came on for Melk.

This. 
While I lost 10 years off my life watching player after player go down injured, they just went “watch this” and won. 
We are so lucky to support this team!

I love stories like this haha. 

When your half deaf (seriously) like me, you do rely on lip reading and emotions a lot. Anyway we will see.

No touching!

Outstanding win.  Belief, determination, strength and class. Petracca, Fritsch, Viney, May, ANB just huge!! 

Many others too, including the coach. 

Bring on September. It's our time!

Agreed.

 

All week the media talk was about port winning and us resting players and not caring.

 

We're not that kind of team and I love it. Well done to the coaching staff and the players.


Garry Lyon reckons one of our most impressive wins of the season, not far off I reckon. 

Wish it was just little more bruise free!

It's a win that just makes you 'feel'. That's all I can really say.

Finally we see what it really means to wear the jumper.

  • 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.

    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?
