such is max 

Such is Max 🤷‍♂️

WHAT A GOAL 🔥

Our midfield has been quiet and easily bested by Port tonight. Hopefully they make amends this qtr with some clearances and some of our quieter guys like JVR Fritter and Kozi get involved. We’ll need them because Port aren’t going anywhere and have generally looked dangerous and more consistent than us. 

We can do it!! 

How are we still in this!?

As good as that goal was it was also frustrating, has to become max"s norm. 

Im frustrated when he misses not when he slots it after the siren in a tight game against a good opponent! 

If Max, Tracc and Clarry can bring their 'A' game this quarter and we stop fumbling we've got a chance to pinch one here.


Sydney ran all over us in the last a few weeks ago. You'd think that would be front of mind for the team here - not letting that happen again.

 

Should be 3-4 goals down. Get Kozzie in the middle immediately.

Roo started to hit the packs hard in the second half of that quarter- much better.

But it's not really achieving much.

Get Kozzie around the ball

We've been poor yet we're down by 4 points. The opportunity is there, Port have thrown everything at us. Give them the old sucker punch Demons! 

Couldn’t play on and hook it as usual. Maybe he needs to change to this style of goal kicking?


50 inside fifties to 32

no idea how we are in touch

Given the team we have out there, newbies, crocks and kids in what is already a makeshift backline, plus an underdone Petty, (also missing Brayshaw ....), they're doing OK against a top 4 team away.

clarry doesn’t look right. hope it’s just his finger. 

good to see jvr running and jumping now tho… love to see him get into it. 

Get Billings off for Woey now.

Are the Port crowd actually human?

We can win this with one good quarter if we run hard and pressure like mad.

Whats better than a goal in the last minute of a quarter, two goals in the last minute of a quarter.

Bang bang

Disagree, it's bringing the ball to ground and not letting Aliir and Esava take the intercept marks.

  • 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?
