    Bruise free football - from both sides. Pretty sad that these two teams were afforded the respect of a Trumpeter and the Last Post. Not much intensity out there.

    I'm in Perth as you are and in peak hour traffic morning and night I pass a work ute painted red and blue with a logo in the rear window, just thought it may be you as there aren't a lot of us in Perth.

    But they have SOS recruiting. They've got no hope. He's useless.

    In fairness to SOS he brought over Marchbank Plowman Pickett from GWS who all look like will be quality players in the future.

    His draft picks in Petrevski Seton, Curnow, Fisher, Weitering, Silvagni Williamson will also add depth and class to their side over the next couple of years. They still have alot of holes on their list but they have a good base to build on.

    I have a serious hate for Carlscum more then anyone but i think their future does look bright... unfortunately

    They're at least 5 years away from challenging. As soon as Murphy and Simpson retire and Gibbs nicks off to Adelaide, they will get pummelled regularly. 

    Curnow looks okay, but I wonder about his size for a KPF. Marchbank looks like he reads the play well. Pickett and Petrevski-Seton look nippy. Weitering is class, but is being played forward, because they're ordinary forward.

    If they end up being another 3-5 years from even challenging for finals, Cripps will leave and then they're [censored].

    I hope that happens. Hate Carlton with a passion.

    I get so depressed watching Ollie Wines

    exactly what we still lack

    Grunt. 

    We don't lack grunt... I know you like complaining, mate, but we've got plenty of Wines' type. We need more diversity in our midfield makeup if anything.

    Nah mate, not me. I also pass a few vehicles with MFC rego plates or membership stickers on the rear window.

    I usually just apply the small MFC member sticker to the rear of my vehicle. The rest of the stickers that come in the membership pack I save up and strategically place on my mates cars and wait to see how long it takes them to notice. You might've spotted one of my Freo mates car. ?

    He's a good player, having a great season. Limited decision maker, but tough around the contest.

    We don't lack grunt. It was just an opportunity to imply we stuffed up the Wines v Toumpas draft again. Let it go.

    F$5& Toumpas A F! I am watching tonights games. 

    Wines is the sort of players who wouldn't have let last weeks 3rd Q happen

    WE STILL LACK GRUNT

    No. We lack leadership. We have plenty of grunt.

    Leadership and Grunt can be the same thing. Playing hard through fatigue

    Disagree, mate, but each to their own.

    As for Carlton, they're playing a side as young as our blokes, but are nowhere. It shows the gulf between our list and Carlton's and we're not even challenging for the top 4. I'll say it again. Carlton are in big trouble.

    They have no forwards. Malthouse cleared them out

     

    fantastic

    I have just turned it on

    OMG the inventors of tanking seem to be perfecting the art form

    CFC may have been fooled by the success Bolton had with a list that maybe even Neeld could have had success with

    To those who have had the courage to watch it all, are CFC that awful or are Port good, or third option, neither?

    And they haven't built a midfield. Should have traded Gibbs last year and they should be blooding midfielders now around Murphy and Cripps.

    Highlight of the match so far was Jane Bunns quarter time weather update

    Jane might not always get the weather right, but really, who cares ?????

    It's more that he had trade value. What will they get for him this year now?

    • 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?

      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?
