Excellent win, very strongly influenced by our next generation players.  
My votes:

6.  Rivers  -  BOG!  His week by week improvement as a mid bodes extremely well for our future, both in 2024 and beyond.  
5.   JvR  -  his best game at the level.  Another youngster on a significant upward trajectory.  Huge future for a young KPF.
4.   Windsor  - has shown great potential from his debut in Round 0, and today was his best yet!   
3.   TMac  -  choosing the right option, and pin point passing by hand and foot were features today.  The only ‘elder statesman’ in my votes, but he’s rediscovered his ‘youth’ as a defender.   
2.  Pickett  -  always dangerous, and continuing to build his consistency in the combined midfield / forward role.  
1.   Chandler  -   excellent game as a defensive forward, which was great reward for his outstanding work-rate.

I reckon we turned an important corner today, but next week will be more testing material.

6 - Trent Rivers, has taken over the reins

5 - Jacob van Rooyen, best yet 4.4 could have been 5-6.

4 - Caleb “The Duke” Windsor showed his full range of skills today, had strong impact

3 - Tom McDonald provided defensive excellence , I would also love him to go around again in ‘25.

2 - Kozzie what a great game and loved that he finally took that screamer.

1 - Mr. Ed Langdon back to his best, looks like he is enjoying playing footy again, maybe a new contract just around the corner?

Then ANB, Jake Melksham (makes us better), Kolt, Chandler, Salo, Judd McVee, Frittata is back, we batted deep today, great team effort, no passengers.

Quite remarkable to think that it is more than feasible to say that our best 5 players on the ground were 23 and under. Rivers, Windsor, Kossie, JVR and McVee. Honourable mentions to Chin, Kolt and AMW. Add to that most of our established  'stars' were good to average it's a very encouraging performance.  Sure, it's only the Eagles, but it's a 10 goal mauling.  Not sure if this has occurred often in the AFL.

  • 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?

    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?
