Sorry some of our boys are not switched on to the conditions.

Why the beep is Jetta on Brown.

That was [censored] weak defending . Brown should have never marked that.

Well done Wattsy, much better. 2 goals into the wind is a great start.

Well done Jeff, needed that.

Waite is just a dck. But were not on yet. Tackling has been poor so far.

This is the most confident I have felt all season, just need to be switched on early and dont succumb to any sniggering North tactics to drag the game down which they may do depending on the conditions.. If we have the breeze and use it then Dees by 50+ otherwise 30+

i agree its just a matter of consistency. We bring the same application as last week we win this easily.

If this is not a quote from an arrogant a/hole I don't know what is: "Paul Roos is the person who won one premiership by a kick in his whole career," Sheedy told AAP. "He must have a lot of knowledge ... put that in your story." If Sheedy had half class and understanding of modern football like Roos he would still be involved the game!

Viney's game has gone to another level this season with his professionalism, leadership and competitiveness which has also rubbed on to his team mates, similar to Jonesy.

I concur, absolutely disgraceful decision and the MRP is becoming farcical.Cotchin wacks someone in the guts every week and gets nothing. How can you justify we are on a level playing field.

I can see Sydney winning one of the Geelong or Adelaide matches and they should be too good for Hawthorn. IMO if whoever makes the GF we will have to beat Adelaide or Sydney on their home patch.

Daniel has worn a helmet since he was 12 and regularly cops elbows in the head from most players because of his height. Im pretty sure Gus would not be playing ie there was any doubt about his mental health/state of mind. A fit and confident Gus would be a huge bonus in September

I hope your right as my wife and I are travelling from Adelaide for this one. In terms of the weekend I thought 28K was passable considering the weather and the fact Port have next to no following in Melbourne. If we played the Crows then the crowd would have been around 35K.

Yes we would be 2 games clear of 10th. But Round 20 looks like the round that will shape the final 8 as you have Cats v Sydney, Dees v Giants, Stkilda v West Coast and Tigers v Hawks (im hoping Hawks win this week to give them a sniff) and Port v Crows. If results go our way we could be as high as third, but yes 1 week at time!

Well done pies. Nice choke West Coke!!!

Well played Gus, great to see you back in action. Demon gets through comeback game unscathed MELBOURNE midfielder Angus Brayshaw has emerged unscathed from his first game after seven weeks out recovering from repeated concussions. The helmeted Brayshaw finished with 23 touches in the Casey Demons' 16-point VFL win over Essendon at Casey Field on Saturday night, including 11 possessions in the third quarter. Brayshaw has twice been knocked out this season, one of which was an illegal hit off the ball that resulted in a one-match suspension for North Ballarat player Hayden Walters. In May last year, he suffered two concussions at VFL level in the space of three weeks. The Demons have been ultra-cautious with Brayshaw's recovery this year, with the hard-at-it midfielder being slowly integrated into full training over the past month and wearing a helmet in a bid to avoid any further issues. During his time on the sidelines, Melbourne's coaching staff took the opportunity to teach and work with him on his technique when approaching contests. They found that Brayshaw was predisposed to leading with his head and they have been trying to alter his approach to ensure he leads more with his body to absorb the contact coming his way. Brayshaw has played 33 matches since being recruited with pick No.3 in the 2014 NAB AFL Draft, but he has played just 12 of a possible 39 games since the start of 2016. He featured in the Demons' opening two games this season, before being omitted in round three.

Not today mate, the Giants are just porridge.

Wold have to be out of Goodwin or Pyke for me. HIs ability to understand game day situations and remedy them has been most impressive.

He has struggled the last few weeks and perhaps a week off is not a bad idea. But I would be surprised if Jonesy is free to return. Either way I want to see a team that is ready to pump the living crap out of North next week and put this hoodoo to rest.

I agree best performance of the year considering the amount of players still yet to peak and volume of changes. It was the perfect response to last weeks performance which is what good teams do. We have finally proven full strength we are more than capable and exposed Port for the fragile team that they are.

Indeed. In present circumstances I would take the Tigs in a knockout final in a heartbeat.

5 games in 3 years, wow. Makes you realise the challenges for him mentally to never give in, huge respect for the lad.

Give my brother in law a really hard time, he is a die hard port man.
