    Apologies to Bail and Nicholson, who work so very hard but had but too many missed targets.

    To everyone feting Grimes but lambasting Bail and Nicho for their ball use, Grimes butchered the ball as much as Bail (24 disposals at 58 per cent efficiency) and less so than Nicho (22 disposals at 68 per cent efficiency)

    I agree that they all used the ball quite badly. However, I can't say that they were bad. All of them gave us some much-needed competitiveness and won their one-on-ones. These guys are the ones who are desperate for a chance to prove they can play and to get on Neelds good side. They fight for every ball, and that is worth more to us right now than 80%+ efficiency.

    No argument from me there Ralphius - I was happy with Bail and Nicho yesterday and reckon they'll come along just fine.

    And I'm not unhappy with Grimes - just frustrated because it was also evident in the games he played before getting injured last year. Hopefully he'll find better touch as he gets more games under his belt.

    Bail ,Nicholson ,Tapscott and even Dunn(yes Dunn) had reasonably good games.

    Garland was down ,JT ,Bennell likewise .

    Blease ,Bail and Nicho have speed which we lack.

    Jamars game was an improvement on this years form .

    Stoppages/Clearances were abysmal overall .

    Grimes was a bit erratic but is improving.

    6/- Rivers - Did a lot of good things in spite of being towered over

    5/- Jones - Another really solid effort

    4/- McDonald - Strong, fit and turned the ball over less

    3/- Blease - Lots of effective bursts spoilt a little by poor licking for goal

    2/- Watts - Always thinking, always looking for smart ways to get the ball and smart things to do with the ball

    1/- McKenzie - Good job on Judd

    Also thought that Grimes, though not brilliant, played a good, brave Captain's game

    We're back on the 'improving' curve which is a relief. Thought we spread really well on occasion.

    Agree with everything you've said (even about Dunn) except the line about Jamar. I thought he'd played quite well in some earlier games. But I didn't see anything in his game on Sunday which was in any way meritorious. Where did you think he'd improved?

    • 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?

    • 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?
