Now that's a game I'll watch happily again. What an effort from the boys. Was worried about our mental capacity to see the game out given our recent history but we've pushed through and won that last quarter convincingly. 4 goals 8 vs 1 goal 1.

The fact Brisbane kept kicking it to him was hilarious. I reckon that’s the ONE thing you’d be coached NOT to do.

Reckon one of the Brisbane players gave the "You idjit" look to the guy who last kicked it to him.
Was hilarious.

Has any player won more games with his late quarter efforts than Max Gawn?

Greatest ruckman of all time. Fight me.

AJ is rough, but a proud and passionate guy who will give 100%

Serious x factor. , I think we should

I think he took Fort by surprise several times with his aggression and strength in the ruck. Loved his goal as well!

He'll never be an out and out star but I can see him being a handy player for us.

Fritsch needs to bring that effort consistently. That's the standard now. Great cameo as sub.

Melksham was unreal.

Gawn's late clunks were huge.

Yes Max was a Rock of Gibraltar

Well, didn't see that coming ......

 

What a great win. What a great leader Max Gawn is. Lindsay and Langford showed great compose for been very young and inexperienced. A great coaching performance by Goody. A great move making Fritsch the sub, as he played a great game when he came on.

Listening to the radio they are saying how good AJ was in the final term.

Do we give him a few weeks at it.

Sounds like he offered more than Jefferson

Lever back means Disco up forward I reckon which prob means AJ is out.

You know what ..enjoy this well deserved win without denigrating other players

I honestly don't think it's a debate.
They throw up Dean Cox .... Please 🙄
No ruckman takes over a game like Gawn when in the mood.

And if the Brownlow was fair he should have a couple by now.

I checked the stats at three quarter time and thought Max was down on marks.

It's usually a fair barometer for us.

Great last quarter from him. Won the game for us.

Absolutely fantastic win, an outstanding whole team effort. Clean up some of those costly skill errors and it really would have looked like a more dominant win.

Fritsch was great when coming on, that's the required level.

Lindsay was outstanding in 2nd half and our midfield just bullied theirs.

Max, what else can you say 👏👏👏


I continue to be impressed with Bowey's rapid rise this season.

Many could argue that he gets a lot of easy ball with his role but there were several occasions where he put his body on the line.

Went at 86% DE as well.

That was wonderful. Just great. That guaranteed GF ticket might just get a call up this year after all!

Exactly. He's a guy who has been given an opportunity at the top level & he seems to not want to waste it

Bowza has been immense all year. Consistent and confident.

Watching the game with Uncle Bitters and Range Rover

We are all a little stunned, 4 Quarter effort, that still looked short until 10 minutes into the last Q

Tom Sparrow was huge in the packs Fritta took some angry pills and went for it

Saw the game without sound, so i need to catch the Replay

There is a slight pulse still beating…

Jake’s one of those players, and not because of his size, who makes me scared for his safety when there’s a contest looming. Inspirationally courageous, and absolutely AA. He’s simply become elite.

We probably should've won that by 4-5 goals with how dominant we played in that finally quarter. We kicked 4.8 for the quarter.

4g 8b in the last. Holy cow they know how to torture us supporters

  • 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?
