some of our handballing has been retarded tonight.

Please don't use offensive terms.

 

tackling has been immense in the last

Well done boys


crows becoming one of my most disliked teams because of the home town umpiring

hope they finish bottom 4

 

A brilliant win. Sensational team game against the [censored] umps and off a 5 day break 

Scheduling, plus (in retrospect) poor player management, almost cost us


Out on our feet. Lots of errors late in this quarter.  Incredible effort to win 2 games on the road in Adelaide in 5 days.

Top of the ladder.   

Let’s focus on the positives. Yes we didn’t kick a goal in the last but tackling pressure was great. They looked spent from the start and I would have given my left nut to leave Adelaide with the 2 wins prior to the games.

Not really. Lots of passengers !!! 

Your wrong you see your way I see mine

Won it. Looked out on our feet in the last but held on despite them getting a great ride from the umpires. 
 

2 games in 6 days away, 2 wins - go the [censored] Dees!

Good win without playing all that well - Adelaide are a very ordinary footy team imo 


Great to get the win.  We could improve if we stuck the tackles, though. We provided great pressure but we often let them out of tackles, instead of getting a htb free or a ball up.

Remember when it used to take 6 years to get two wins over there.

That's pretty generous of you, I'll keep mine, thanks. 

 

Bloody wrapped. Two away wins in Adelaide. These two wins are worth their weight in gold come the end of the season.

  • 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?
