@Demonland @binman

Only part way in so far but again really insightful comments and review

Especially liked Binman describing AJ as having “intangible Zing”. I agree. It’s that extra effort or second effort or Will to get to the contest or extra bump or block or body contact to bullock through. AJ is not the most skilled or most likely longer term option but drafted to serve a purpose.

Riv has the zing too. He’s a ripper and had the energy and desire to get to the contest. Had a great game !!!


Win, lose or draw, I always love the Pod, but this one had a bit of an ‘edge’. I could feel a glimmer of excitement, that maybe our season isn’t yet dead after all! Not over the top, but just right.

Thanks guys, for all your effort in bringing it to us.

There is new zing in the air and within all our players and most Demonlanders. And why not? Especially when you travel that far to knock off the reigning premiers. And to see so many players lift in form and stick up for their teammates was great.

The last point, I think is truly a zingful sign, if you will, of a winning team and culture. Been absent for too long. Without going overboard and giving silly penalties, it's very important for mine.

Long may it ring, so we can all sing that great thing " It's a grand old flag" more often.

Wasn't sure where to post this but do you still sell merchandise. In particular the caps?

Thanks.

Couldn't find any links.

My old ones getting a bit tatty and probably losing it's luk. Although my lucky undergarment still work.

But I probably should wash them. But that may Jynx them. Can't hold out much longer under threat of divorce.

Unfortunately not. Sales weren’t strong enough, and even though everything was made to order and I didn’t hold any stock, simply maintaining the store was costing me so I decided to close it down.

Just got to work. Listened to the 2nd half of the pod. Entertaining and informative, and passionate.

  • great discussion about Daniel “Disco” Turner. He’s a ripper. Binman was right about him being the player to watch this year as a breakout player.

  • I agree that youngsters like Langford and Lindsay are having their game time managed. That’s smart. Definitely both are going to have huge futures ahead

  • @binman . Thanks for adding in the metres gained, it’s a good stat to measure effectiveness. Rivers with 563 metres was excellent,and he had definite impact, especially considering he only had 66% time on ground (which amazed me).

Go Dees


An apology to the fitness staff? That had my ribs tickled.

We've bombed out in nearly every last quarter this year and the first time we put a decent one together we should hand out participation ribbons?

Thought it was sensational the way we ran out the game but the sensationalist stuff week to week could use a rest. It's like apologising to the guy that bludges in his job 4 days a week but then on Friday does some of his best work.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
