POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Port Adelaide



Recommended Posts

Outstanding win, 4 qtrs effort across all lines. Don't underestimate it, on the road, rolled the sleeves up and went to work. 

ANB BOG

Lever huge

Trac measured

Gawn leadership personified

Brown & Fritsch finishing with class

Caleb absolute Jet 

JV7's heart is as big as the Adelaide oval 

Could go on all night...soak it in!! 

💪

Shouldn’t have won that. -21 i50s, 7 marks i50 vs 14, umpires playing catchup on the free kick count after half time. Lots against us but we were harder for longer.

Nibbler, BBB, Fritsch did what needed to be done when it needed to be done. Their “guns” are still soft as [censored] and they can look forward to another disappointing end to the year.

Go the [censored] Dees!!

How about all the smashed crabs wearing Port gear in the crowd? Couldn't leave quick enough after Fritta's goal 

That group behind Ben Browns kick were straight out of Deliverance.

I wouldn’t say an A grader. However, he’s an improving playing even at his age. It’s more the mental now. ANB is athletic, with a tank, but a cooler head than we see. He is aging well, and he will improve. 

What is not A grade about his current form?

15 goals from only 45 entries is awesome

Yeah I was skeptical after the Sydney game of our forward line, so I’ll eat some humble pie, things are working very well so I was wrong.

Massive win. ANB was superb. 

 

Also, well in T. Mac for getting into Rozee after that head flick during the tackle AND well done to Lever for getting the group together and getting them composed after it.

Kade Chandler was good again tonight and playing really well to start the season. I was worried about him but he's lifted after his end of season slump last year

Great goals from Windsor, Brown, Gawn, ANB and Fritta. 

Loved Fritta response to the ferals over the fence after he kicked that goal from the sidleine at 50, was priceless. Didn’t look like there were too many brain cells over the fence tbh.

Fitness - 11/10. we ran over the top.

Midfield/stoppage/clearance - 3/10 for first 3 quarters, 15/10 for last quarter. 

Field kicking - 1/10 for 3 quarters. 8/10 last quarter.

Lever, Viney, Max, BBB, - epic leadership. 

Goal kicking - 9/10.

Umpiring was poor to both teams, no advantage. 5/10

 

We really ran the wind out of Port, with persistence, higher levels of fitness and a more achievable 'method' moving forward. Great effort boys, inspiring outcome.

Thought Marty Hore did a good job down back. It's a pleasure having him back at the club. 

Thought his free kicks against were bit naive. But positions himself well.

Chandler was terrific, many times. He is like ANB, small profile, big efforts, almost a team saviour presenting himself in opportunities and creative chances. Very good goalkicker, too.

I'm proud to say that today's match was the first Melbourne game I've attended interstate. 

What a bloody win. Couldn't be prouder of the boys. 

I just hope your car isn't on blocks. They don't take too kindly to normal people over there

And we won with many not near their best and our No.1 backman not on the park.

Is Thurs too early for a Maysie return 🤔

Absolutely LOVE that we won a game where we lost the main stats and the expected score. There’s nothing better than seeing a team take their chances.

My favourite part was Fritsch screaming “[censored] you” at the Port supporters when he kicked the sealer.

Unfortunately I missed the first qtr, but the game looked pretty slippery even though it was a hot and dry day in Adelaide? Was that just the humidity?

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
