We're one goal down. I just assumed we were 80 points down by some of the posts.

    Garland is a liability. He doesn't effect contests, but leaves his man.

     

    He has flown under the radar doing that for years now.

    Difference in this game we work so hard for a goal while eagles get them fairly easy, can't fault our pressure though

    Didn't you know we're supposed to play perfect football every single week, for every single minute of a match?

    Eagles have the look of a top four side to me. The fact we're staying with them has to be promising.

    Watts needs to play round 1.

    TMac building nicely after a shaky start.

    Me are desperately missing a small defender (Jetta) and forward (Garlett/Kent)

    gee we have a lot of poor players that do not seem to be doing a lot, disappointing we would be stuffed without oliver

    8 points down at half time.

    Turnovers and a few decisions have hurt us, and have allowed the Eagles to play their game which has resulted in some easy goals.  I don't mind it happening tonight as it will highlight something to work on for the team, as the Saints will try and do the same thing.

    On the flipside, we've played some positive footy and used it quite well.  When it's worked, it's looked great and we've been able to kick some goals.

    Oliver has clearly been our best, he is just sensational.   Hogan, Salem, Lewis and probably Watts have been good too.  Lots to like with some things to work on as well.  Not even close to the doom and gloom some are giving here.

    There's going to be some very sad posters going forward this season if they think this is bad.

    The Weagles were flat track bullies on home turf last season. Horrible away. Hopefully we can become very good at one of those!!

    I hope that's a joke.

    Watch the replay if you aren't taking note  and work out goals against who you are playing on.

    Then accept it.

    Has Jack Trengove been on the field?

    Centre half fwd line doesn't do enough for us at the present either.

    Still plenty of growth which is exciting but a few we miss and a few I'd rather see in so far. Ie Hibbs and Jeffy. Peds and Jetts

    Should be a picture of Oliver on the front of that jumper. 

    I like Oliver. 

    Good half by Clayton Oliver. 

     

     

     

     

    Oliver!

    They do look like a top 4-6 side and it is good that we're staying with them. Hopefully we don't dropped the ball in the second half.

    • 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?
