    Both having quiet nights. Blakey.  Heeney. Gulden.  Too much run for port.  

    If Grundy & Jordan get premierships medals they will definitely be laughing

    I'd be rapt for JJ to be in another gf & actually be on the ground. But thinking ahead it would blow my mind if he became a 2 time premiership player

    Luke Parker’s 5 th grand final. Time the AFL took away the NSW academies or at least out of the first round. 
     

    It’s BS how much talent they get access to.

    I reckon he just got held himself at the throw in but they let it go because of this.

    L watch Grundy in the CBs... he only has eyes for his opponent and almost always runs over to where he is to place a block.  That's his first movement 90% of the time.

    That's fine if he gets back to the ball and touches it (according to the guidelines and Razor Ray).

    When he doesn't he needs to be called for blocking the opponent's run at the drop but rarely is.

    They called him a few times in the first quarter and then put the whistle away after.

    You could see Reg complaining as he couldn't believe someone was finally picking him up on this.

    He's gotten away with it far too often, especially the first half of the season before some umps started to crack down a tad more.

    Grundy 7 touches 5 clangers

    Jordon 7 touches 2 clangers. although keeping Butters a bit quiet

    Keep trolling away. 

    How is that trolling? I don't think @Demonsone was talking about their performance in this game.

    Its a fact that both wanted to leave the Dees to play in another teams best 22. They did and now they're both about to play in a premiership and have played their roles to get there... kudos to both of them.

    Port have kicked 2.3 in each quarter

    If they do it in the last Q it’ll be the first time in AFL history 

    *probably, haven’t checked

    I don't believe it is related to the academy. They have built a culture of relentless competitiveness. Have not seen a contest or a chase they haven’t committed to. Have seen Port, similar to last week, just not quite go hard enough when they've needed to. That is the difference between the Syd, Haw, Coll cultures and that of Port and us (amongst others).

    Do I really have to explain? The same people saying the same thing for 9 months to provoke a response

    Im beginning to doubt the poster is even a Demons fan. 

    We know the story, Grundy didn’t work so we sent him packing, Jordon not best 22 so he left, fair enough 

    Can we move on? or say the same stuff every week

    So you think if you removed Heeney, Mills, Blakey and Gulden from their team they’d be in the same position?

    They have a great attitude but They were gifted the above players that they would never have drafted.

    Sorry, I didn't realize there was a backstory to that particular poster actually trolling. My apologies

    This Port team is one of the most ordinary teams to finish 2nd.

    It seems Port are playing like Melbourne- kick it long into the forward line and hope somebody marks it. Except they don’t.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
