Why is it that I feel no frustration from todays game?

Not Angry

Not disappointed

Just normal.

Because it was that sort of game, perhaps? Not flogged by 10 goals like the last two weeks, not a win, just a clanger fest in which for each good bit of play there were one or two facepalm-worthy moments ... One more brick in the road to somewhere good, I hope.

    Don't concern yourself Moon, I'll unveg myself as soon as I'm confident that any schnitzels from Jazza's area are gone from the market.

    Lentils for life, then ... :)

    Haven't seen the game yet but to take Port to under a goal at their home when they were desperate to win to get into the top four, was a great effort.

    We are definitely improving and this off season in adding personnel and learning will be vital to our future.

    We are on the right track.

    YES I guess 4 wins and only a couple of beltings for the year will be an improvement.

    To be very honest at the start of the year I thought five wins would be a big improvement on the two previous years.

    Don't know if we will get 5 wins this year, but we have clearly improved.

    Percentage is the first indicator. It is up.

    I think someone posted that we have lost 6 games by under 20 points. I seem to remember us playing most of our games in the last several years where we were out of it 20 minutes into the game. Then it would get worse.

    I would imagine that Stretch and maybe 2 good mids drafted and maybe another traded in plus Hogan and improvement in youngsters like Salem, JKH, Toumpas, Kent etc and another instructive pre season will have have us climbing the ladder quickly.

    My five wins is wishful think Redleg but I try to imagine a win against the Lions.

    How is the USA treating you?

    Just received an update on Biffen. Apparently just came off a bender to discover his meth lab had burnt down and his girls had joined a union. Biff's life is in a spiral - out of control. I like the guy (even though he stole my credit card) but there is a limit to my good nature. The "lads" consider him a pervert (along with Frosty). I'm going to avoid the Gat for a while.

    So, Spearmint Rhino it is in the meantime?

    Sounds terrible Jazza- like work people advertise as "honest ".

    The alarm clock thing sounds injurious to my delicately balanced sleep patterns.

    Thank you for your kind offer-but the only time I like to see a cows rump is on a plate with chips and salad.

    Thought you pimped cows for a living,so we are in a similar business.{thats what BBO told me}

    We also use a lot of chemicals,so there is natural connection to our trades.

    I even thought we could do a job swap,But then i feared for my girls as you would for yours.{although yours dont have 4 teats]

    You may need to think more about your offer. As it may be you will be exporting more white powder then liquid.

    Plus don't you need a special permit for employing people from the Gat?

    I am just about spent for this season.

    I would be happy to conclude now as the best time of the year is fast approaching.

    So you don't think we are a chance against the Eagles, DF? If we did get up then, I believe we would hear your cheers over here .... :blink:

    Always a chance R and B

    it is not impossible that five Eagles players could have heart attacks during the game.

    I have no idea how the MFC has won six games in two years.

    Although I did enjoy them it would appear to me they were more by chance then anything else.

    Hoping there will be better days ahead in 2015 as currently we a equal last on the ladder and the only team we were ahead of on last years ladder is above us now.

    We threw away the game last weekend when it was won!

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
