Good win by the boys like what I'm hearing from the

Commentary sounds like Jamar had a good game our

Defence stood tall Garland and Macdonald seemed to get

Plenty of it. Hopefully we can continue the effort against Port

    Especially with Joel MacDonald down there. I think he's a bit under-rated around here.

    And I think that with a bit of injury luck, Garland could be every bit as good as Frawley. Different players, but Garland is simply superb on the rebound.

    I've been watching online, fantastic win to start off 2011.

    Blew out some cobwebs alright. Bennell, Bartram, Bail & Davey's leg speed helped time and again. Good pressure from the forwards made Adelaide cough up a few times. Maric converted when required which was good to see. But it's NAB Cup....now for Port...

    Good effort in a scratch match. Hope we can hold up in 2nd game. I thought Evans was the shining light but let himself down badly by his kicking.

    Very happy to see my man Stef Martin playing well. I'm a believer.

    Suspect he might be subbed for Spencer for the Port Game. Nicholson other sub, presumably he'll get a run.

    Scrappy game, but will be good for the confidence. Should be able to do OK against Port, but we're really missing McKenzie, Jones, Scully round the packs.

    Good, and we still win a game. We need confidence in our whole list.

    Do we have to win both matches to guarantee we go through to the next round?

    If we win both its a sure thing. IF everyone wins 1 it goes to percentage.

    Only the top team goes through.

    The best 2 second place teams go through as well.

    Out of the 6 groups of 3, the top sides will go through, plus the next best performed 2 sides from the remainder as wild cards. I presume the sides who win by the most will host the wildcards... but then I reckon it will depend on scheduling too. ie, if the Pies are the last wild card, I bet they'd still play at the G.

    • 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?
