Bad Kicking = Bad Footy | Devils vs Port Melbourne Preview | DEVILS DEN

The Devils traveled over to ETU Stadium for a massive clash against Port Melbourne, and what a game it was! Tassie fans showed up in droves, completely outnumbering the home crowd three to one , but a heartbreaking final quarter saw the Devils go down 100 to 104 in an absolute nail-biter. Bad kicking is bad footy. While our direct territory game plan had the Borough completely baffled at times , kicking 14 goals and 16 behinds ultimately cost us the four points. In this episode, JD and Fred dissect the match review, detailing: The Game Style Clash: How Port Melbourne completely abandoned their kicking game to try a high-volume, modern handball-wave style. The Kaine Baldwin Problem: Port's key forward got completely off the chain to boot six goals. Was the defensive experiment worth it? Our Unstoppable Left-Footer: Hugh Dixon takes out the Man of the Match with an absolute quadruple-double style performance across the ground. Under the Radar: Cameron Owen steps up big time to carry the ruck load , plus we look at the young talent waiting in the wings. The Leaderboard Shuffle: The top six are completely bunched up as we take a look at the voting leaderboard. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 - Welcome back to the Den: Reviewing a Heartbreaker 01:45 - Match Recap: Crowd Turnout & Bad Kicking is Bad Footy 02:57 - The Tactical Shift: Port Melbourne’s New Handball Wave 04:15 - Stemming the Flow: Ben Hobbs Gets Loose 05:23 - By the Numbers: Breaking Down the -70 Disposal Stat 07:42 - The Final Quarter Squander & A Wild Goalpost Theory 11:30 - Man of the Match: Hugh "The Huge" Dixon’s Quadruple-Double 14:35 - Honorable Mentions & The Return of Zach Adams 15:15 - Under the Radar: Cam Owen Dominates the Stoppages 18:09 - Ruck Depth Rumors & Lauderdale Prospect Spotlight 20:51 - Match Voting: 5 Chocolate Votes for Huge Dixon 24:55 - Leaderboard Shuffle: The Spread of Goal Kickers 26:09 - Selection Debate: Is There Room for Sam Siggins? 28:11 - Help Us Hit 200 Subs & Wrapping Up 🎯 HELP US HIT OUR GOAL!
