After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

 

Shocking last 10 minutes, the whole review should be about that.

Mentally went to sleep, unacceptable.

When Gawn retires we are proper****ed.

Great win dees.

Put the que in the rack late, but turned it on when they needed to.

Looking forward to the game at Optus next week

 

Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

Awful finish and now only few positives to come out after what was heading towards a really strong win.

Meh.

It’s a privilege to witness the greatest ruckman of all time

Just remarkable


Our forward line remains an issue but our midfield looked much better in that second half.

Gawn and Bowey were awesome tonight.

We won though, so there’s that.

Not a great first half, in great part because we were getting very little from Trac, Clarry and Kozzie. No surprise that things turned with a big second half from each of them. Maxy was huge.

Disappointing way to end the game, some useful % wasted.

Anyway, happy for the win, we continue to build some momentum. Over to the west to make amends for a bad loss last year!!!

 

Will take the win of course but jesus that last quarter was frustrating. We really need to learn how to run out games properly if we want to have a decent number of wins.

As far as individual highlights go, Gawn reminded everyone of how much of a champion he is and Bowey has officially won me over.

Got the job done. Max was immense in the 3rd. Great signs from so many when the game was there to be won. Couldn't give a toss about the last 10 mins. Rather preserve max & may - marathon not sprint & all that.

Good to get the win but our last quarter was PATHETIC.

We need to fix this otherwise the better sides will roll us.

Fritta is still a selfish player and should be better.

Yep. Gawn is the GOAT for mine. The amount of wins he generates all over the ground has saved us for years. He papers over A LOT of cracks.

We worked bloody hard to win the game

Who cares if we took the foot off the pedal and rested our 33yo workhorse star

We still won the game

It’s OK to be happy guys

6 goal swing there in the last QTR. We gifted them at least 3 goals and we missed at least 3.

Yep, that last one Spargo all alone at goal square. Selfishness all around.

Fullerton is a liability. Not sure if jvr wants to play ruck. Can anyone else fill this role?

you one of those glass half full fellas yeah?

Secured the game then eased off mentally. who cares?


Habits matter, % matters and we let a bad habit creep in and we lost valuable %.

Happy we won of course, but as the players and coaches always say every moment matters.

Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

 

Clarry 13 contested possesions MOST for the game! Um Fullarton should NEVER EVER play an AFL game again! Shocking

  • 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?
