We won this one without jesse hogan

This year im not sure having him in helps that much based only on recent form

Geelong are on the way out, but I can still see a real whipping coming this week.

The boys put the queue in the rack against the Blues when everything was on the line.

Can't see a turnaround this week.

I see the exact opposite.  We looked flat as a pancake after four high energy games, of which we won three.  Just about every time we've looked that flat this year, we've sprung back almost as drastically.  Just going off this year's experiences, I expect a highly competitive effort against Geelong to round out the year.

Idk he took 14 marks and kicked a goal. Would have liked him to be more accurate but he played pretty well yesterday. Do that week in, week out and the accuracy will come.

Not if he keeps his stuttering run up and poor kicking action. He needs some big time coaching on how to kick goals in the off season.

Another 186 coming up..,

In what world will we lose by 186 this weekend?
We haven't lost by over 55 this season.
We have a list far superior to that awful day back in 2011.

Agreed but Geelong wont see it coming. Particularly that whining coach. 


We won with that list?

  • 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?
