Petty is woefully out of form. Maybe just not a forward I guess. It happens.

You can't say that!!

EVERYONE has saying he was " the answer" after about 3 games last year.

Hilarious

    Poor last quarter.

    The 3 goals against cost us 3rd spot on the ladder by %.

    Sounds trivial?

    It isn't and wont be come final time.

    Lol we are at 28 points, Port at 32 - enjoy the win!

    Positives. 4 points and Tomlinson

    Negatives. Too conservative again and slow moving ball.

    St Kilda were pathetic.

    He struggles against the better forwards.  

    Running and contesting is a great thing

    Not a perfect win but still a good one.

    No it didn’t. Port are a game ahead of us.

    Pity we got smashed by the 2nd worst team in the comp last week ain’t it

    Might be the catharsis required to shake off the mid-season lethargy. Top four you need fight to stay up there.

    To say nothing of the rubbish they served up last week.

    Letting them get the last 3 was soft

    BURY THEM

    Meanwhile the Crows are destroying the Eagles, normal transmission resumes

    We are Jekkyl and Hyde level footy

    Great to see a dominant 1st quarter. We've been too slow out of the traps recently.

    Set shots better but still room to improve. we were 4-9 at one stage but thankfully found our shooting boots after that.

    Good last quarter from Clarry. he hasn't been his normal beast mode self recently. hopefully that's the springboard to return to top form.

    All in all a good days work at the G.

    Go Dees

    Enjoyed the awe in Dangerfield’s voice when talking about Gawn. Marshall is meant to be one of the elite rucks going around and Max treated him with disdain.

    It shouldn’t get lost that we are watching an all time great every week.

    This win gives me confidence we're still a contender. Liked having Salem back in his old role given he'd been pushed into the middle with an extra defender in the side. Defensive unit had the right balance, Tommo is a great Lever insurance but probably just that. Hunter had a strong return showing. Gawn is still scarily dominant even with an injury niggle. On the other hand, don't know how the Saints have managed to go downhill this much in such a short time.

    Would love to have gotten a bit more out of Petty and McAdam, but ok to persist with this forward set up until Melksham comes into the fold. Langdon's got a bit of unutilised forward craft.

    I agree, we can’t keep trying to find positives, give Jeffo a go or Tmac forward or Thommo forward, let’s face it 5 possessions a game would be a bonus

    Anyone who has been going to the games noticed how nice Tmac’s kicks have been looking? Hits the ball at its lowest point, and its resulting in absolute bullets.

    The fact that Port have won an extra game would have made that difficult Einstein.

    For those laying into McAdam, it’s a bit rough. 2nd game. It’ll take time to find his feet and rhythm at this level, in a new team. I thought he got into some good spots. He’ll be fine. Got to give these guys some time! Even if it was smart strategy to drop guys after 2 rounds, we don’t have the depth for that!

    Agree, containing Gawn is a whole team effort. Just on another level to his peers. Didn't think he'd be doing this 3 years after the flag

    Nibbla 27 @ 74%, 12 contested and 2 goal assists, 11 centre bounce attendances, he’s above a role player now 👏🏻 

    would’ve been nice to win by 50 instead of 38 but we’d put the cue in the rack and benched Max and a couple of others. Did what we needed to do and comfortably beat a weak opponent.

    Am I convinced we’re back? No but it’s better than last week.

    Gee the saints are SH eeee T.

    Thats the softest AFL midfield I’ve seen since we got called Bruise Free in 2011.

    Hard to take much out of that. If we were any good we would have been 8 goals up at half time.

    Stafford needs to go at the end of the year. Can we get an actual modern day forward coach?

    • 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?

      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?
