A shout out to some things that might go under the radar.

Fullarton a good chop out for Max, and seemed to understand his forward role well.

The tackling from Viney, Trac and Oliver. A lot of in-close hard work from all three.

Langford's strength and poise in the last quarter.

The gut running from Langdon, Chandler, Rivers and Spargo in the last quarter.

The quiet but effective games from Howes and Windsor.

Just heard on the radio Max say at 3QT "We ain't losing this"

If Max Gawn says we ain't losing this, you better just take it to the bank.

The Bison must have been listening

Got the lead out of our saddle bags in Fritz and JVR. Petty with 4. Go Dees.

I think at face value those two have been contributing to our woes. Not solely responsible, but the forward line functioned better without them today. I hope they are made to earn there way back.

27-4 tackles inside 50

Pressure!!

Not being ungrateful at all because all we want is a W but we still leak like a sieve.

With those numbers you shouldn't be conceding 97 points.


Credit where its due to Goodwin and the leaders.

Terrific result but more importantly the way we played was outstanding

As much as I'm ecstatic with the victory, Why does it have to take us starting down the abyss to play desperate hard fast footy like today?

And accurate kicking wins games

Finally showed some spirit.

Controversial opinion - but if we don't make finals, I think it might have been better for the club long term if we'd lost that game.

I hope I'm proven wrong but I'm convinced Goodie is not the way forward and this is just delaying the inevitable.

Controversial is not the word that comes to mind.

 

Hooray!

A win! Finally!

How good was Harvey "The Bison" Langford?!

Congratulations to the players and coaching staff.

Hopefully, things are starting to turn in our favour.

GO DEMONS!!! ❤️💙👹

No Lever no May no McVee. Petty up forward. Disco concussion.

It was certainly not perfect but I’m not gonna complain about our rag tag group keeping their prolific scorers under 100.

You could see we were pressing up just about 10m too high and Freo were super good rebounding off a defensive turnover. They are top 4 in the AFL at this so not surprised that they did this well.

In the NBA all the teams used to foul Ben Simmons because he can't shoot free throws.

If I was the opposition and Max marks it 70m out I'd dead set give away a 50m penalty on purpose to force him to take a close range set shot

Means everything doesn’t it.

Where has it been?

It is great to win again. Grat effort to kick over 100 points in a game. The 4 first round picks in the last 2 years played well. I hope they play many more games together. The style played today was what I watched at training over the summer.


Defensive pressure not really seen since GC game late 24.

Most of our kicks actually went forwards and to team mates.

Handball chains slick....

Sadly I think it has come to the point that he should be told to try to kick a point on the right hand side of the goals. When he starts scoring points (and not on the left side!) he can be asked to aim at the goals again.

Might even tune in to the replay of the 1st half this week.
1st time in a long time I've had such a notion.

Fair to say absolutely none of us saw that coming

A few Punters would have lost houses today

  • 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.

    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?
