The bloke's always a pest when we play them.

Is there anyone who saw the incident and do you think the match review dudes will remove him from next Sunday's game against us?

MOTLOP ON REPORT

Being reported by a Goal Umpire alone is unusual in this day and age. Hopefully there will be supporting video evidence. One week would do nicely.

I seem to recall he has some carry-over.

    IMO Motlop is worth 3 goals to Port before the game even starts so its a bonus for us

    He was worth five last time we played.

    No Motlop for Port on Sunday after being offered a one match ban. Motlop is unable to reduce the length on suspension with an early plea.

    Heath Shaw and John Anthony were both cleared along with former Dee Chris Johnson.

    and no Justin Westoff either....another 3 goal a game player. So this means that Power will be relying on tredrea for goals and i feel confident Warnock can do a job on him

    So now it's no forward line vs. no forward line this week.... should be an interesting game to say the least! :lol:

    They'll just ram through 10 from the midfield to take up the slack. :angry:

    I don't want to admit it.... but it's true. <_<

    They've still got Ebert, and they could throw Chad Cornes up there too. Still better than ours, but definitely weak and we're in with a better chance than we were 48 hours ago.

    This Motlop news doesnt affect the Demons at all, as we have no chance of winning at AAMI for a few years still.

    We were even pathetic there in our Finals seasons.

    Yeah, wasn't it surprising to read that before they won on Friday night, St Kilda was listed in the Herald Sun as having the worst record at AAMI of any club. How did we escape the radar on this issue? Sadly, I just put this one down as a loss every time. I guess you aren't tipping a Demon win then this week YM? I remember a few seasons ago, after hitting the top of the ladder, one game clear after 18 rounds, being thrashed by either Adelaide or Port at AAMI the next week. I don't have the answer. We even play better at Subiaco don't we? Certainly had more wins over there in the last 10 years.

    My as yet unborn grandkids will be 70 and some people will still be saying that.

    Bobby, from memory we got pumped, PUMPED, by the Crows after they had had a rubbish few months in Craig's first game as coach.

    We won a few in a row, hit the top of the table, then got pumped by Port to begin our 5 losses in a row.

    Certainly a hell hole for us. Not to mention Round 22, 2006. Half the Crows side out, a win for a top 4 spot, never got into it.

    Last year we played the week after the Freo game, kicked the first four of the last/third quarter to get it back to 27 points....lost by over 70

    Actually, I'd be happy if one of the Port players such as Chad Cornes, really got under his skin and had a go at him. Just to see if he fires up on the field.....it's time the penny dropped for Sylvia.

    Does the penny drop for Mildura boys?

    Look closer, and you'll see that that was a stupid HUN miscalculation. They claimed St Kilda had a worse record than us because they'd won 4 and we'd won 5. Do the maths and you'll see that our winning percentage is lower than their's, because we've played about 5 more matches than them over the same time period. We've got the worst winning percentage at AAMI.

    He will just get reported.

    I just want him to focus and play footy.

    I wonder if we might do something silly and knock an understrength port off this week at home?

    Every time we go to AAMI, I ask this question. But this time I give us 0.000000000% chance. Just don't have the cattle.

    Someone on the Port Board at Big Footy was bemoaning turnovers and skill errors, on the face of it things sound pretty even.

    Not good to watch though.

    PS Motlop is challenging his week

    Hope he gets off!

    Good for draft picks, even better for an understrength super coach side

    Cleared. :angry:

    Yeah, apparently the goalie had some sort of delusional episode. Motlop said "didn't happen" and Hunter agreed with him.

    Yeah the players code probably kicked in on that testmony, but according to the report delivered on Fox Sports tonight Motlop was asked if he "punched" Adam Hunter and he said he didn't then Hunter said he didn't, and then Motlop went on to amend this opinion by saying something along the lines that it was "more of an upper cut" :wacko: !!!

    Anyway he was cleared all the same......

    Daniel Motlop free to play, Adam McPhee suspended

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
