We’re evolving. First year players in Lindsay and Langford start on the wings with Langdon on the interchange…since when?

Lindsay played pretty much the entire game on the Warne Stand side…the new Langdon.

Don’t look at Petty’s low disposal count as a negative, he worked Sydney’s best interceptor in McCartin over all day, a selfless game.

Enjoy a marvelous win all.

    That’s a great team win, still building and still room for improvement but we’re heading in the right direction

    HUGE.

    In reality a demolition job. Should have been 80-100, but for our wasted chances and the swans’ accuracy.

    But it’s all good (mostly - please keep on practicing goalkicking lol) because it’s the best we’ve looked all year I reckon. Bowza, Salo, Clarry, KOZ, so good. I’m missing plenty because guys like Disco were huge out back. Langdon kept on running. Max was important as always.

    We’re in it! Big win next week and we square the ledger, then work towards getting stuck into the pies and building on this momentum, confidence and the genuine happiness they are showing out there. Upwards trajectory continues.

    Go Dees ❤️💙

    Terrific Claz game, and vintage Salo, almost had a stroke when I saw him in the first centre bounce

    Need to find a proper partner in crime for Petty, JVR come on down?

    Sydney is very lucky that wasn't a 20+ goal belting. They were equally as bad as we were good

    Lindsey was absolutely cooked by the last, Works bloody hard and uses it superbly. GUN!

    Windsor and Langford just as exciting!

    Kozzy could've kicked 8+ today. Unreal performance

    Running out of superlatives for Max. Career high tackles today. Keeps finding ways to raise the bar. AJ provided solid relief and set up at least 2/3 goals with clever little tap ons as well.

    Another week of the super sub! Two goals for Sharp in that final quarter.

    Only negatives are that Lever looked rusty on return and Spargo looked pretty ordinary before he was subbed.

    Stats wise he may have had a quiet game but AJ’s pressure and getting a hand to the ball in our f50 resulted in 3 to 4 goals today. Does the dirty work well, just needs to polish other areas

    Tracc’s mum saying “love you, [censored] great win” was gold

    Tracc was being interviewed on fox and Oliver came up and game him a big wet one then Tracc hugged him. Was awesome to see the close bond

    WE ARE BACK (I think).

    GO DEES.

    Fantastic win! I reckon that was our best performance since the time we played Sydney in early 2023. I could tell from the very beginning that we were on. Our pressure was through the roof and we moved the ball with speed and dare. I was worried that our inaccuracy early would hurt us but the exact opposite happened.

    Pickett is a [censored] machine. He's already had two of the best games from a small forward that we've seen this year. Oliver looked as good as he has in two years. He's rediscovered his confidence.

    Also a special shout out to Sharp. He played the ultimate sub game. He had an impact as soon as he came on the field.

    It's always satisfying beating up Sydney like that given all the trouble they used to cause us.

    • 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?

      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?
