Wow and I thought I was cursed.....

I don't mind shelling out once a year, but hopefully its not too much to ask to be in the game at half time, this time round. Shelling out for it to be all over at half time is painful :.)

Not only that - I was at the 2001 Footy Park comeback v the Camry Crows but had to bail early.

    I thought we played some outstanding footy on QB against them. I'm hoping no one in the team says we owe them before the game.

    Dawes might come out and make a statement with his toothy Adelaide private school accent.

    Sends a shiver down your spine.

    The same hard hitting lingo used by Alexander Down Syndrome in 25 years of political flouncing, leading to zilch.

    I haven't seen a live Dees victory since the 90s.

    Thats gotta hurt, Skuit. Its going to be sweet next time for you thats for sure!

    For me it was Vs. Adelaide at the MCG in 2005

    I like the settled side , give the kids a chance and hopefully clunker/clanger Dawes can redeem.

    If you wanted to start dropping blokes for errors etc last week we'd probably have Viney and Gawn v 22.

    I haven't seen one ever.

    Jeezus!

    When an administrator of the clubs main online forum has never seen a win , I reckon that's as big a statement as ever in regards to this clubs recent history. FMD , this club needs to get its [censored] sorted.

    I'm going to email the club and ask if they can wear 'Nasher' on their arms next week.

    What a [censored] indictment.

    It was made clear that he is regaining match fitness via Casey. He played around a half last week and has been named again this week.

    I have no problem with this. As much as I want to see Salem in the senior side, it's best to be conservative.

    Thanks mate - I've been a bit out of the loop so wasn't sure what's been going on. Have been pretty busy and not really inclined to seek out info on the Dees the last few weeks for obvious reasons so thanks for the heads up.

    Such pessimism! There is every chance we will embarrass the Pies this week. Their form has been a bit shaky. Ours has been a little disappointing, I'll admit, but we have not lost five in a row.

    Perhaps if we all say the board's prayer:

    Our Nathan, who art in the middle,

    Hallowed be thy game.Thy clearing run. Thy kick to Viney is direct, As in the game plan.Give us this day our Bernie Vince.And forgive us our turnovers,As we destroy them that wear black and white. And lead us not into hesitation, But deliver the ball quickly. For Hogan is the target,

    The Demons, take the glory,

    For ever and ever.

    Amen

    Haha that is brilliant just sent to my family.

    And no Oxley.

    Given it was Cloke and Oxley that killed us last time, I wonder who it will be this time.

    Dunno probably Elliot and Fasolo/Sidebottom.

    Nasher, my heart broke when i read this.

    We've all suffered but at least i got to enjoy the come back against freo in 2008 and the build up in 2000 and the delerium of the first 3 weeks the finals series.

    When the ship turns i hope you're still on it.

    I'm still worried that the ship is sinking deano!

    I must admit, I'm pretty sure it isn't sinking.

    Although it is pretty stagnant, adrift if you'd like, and i think our biggest risk is that at some point they'll decide to scuttle it.

    • 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?
