Good observation CB

watching the replay I thought the first half of the third quarter is where the GC really got on top with their run and carry. Luckily they only scored two goals during that time and of course had Bernie not made the intercept the Suns were on the way to another.

That Vince intercept was a turning point in the game.

    This season I have found the commentators really disappointing tbh, more so than previous seasons.

    Some of them constantly get players names wrong or constantly dribble on about something that is not related to what's happening on the field or are more barracking for a team than commentating or their "special" comments aren't very "special" at all.

    Just because former players were stars doesn't necessarily mean they can commentate. 

    In saying the above my only real fav commentator is Gerard Whateley. 

    I reckon half of them are just bored with watching so much footy, they only really get excited for the big games. Remember they do radio commentary in addition to the tv as well as panel show gigs on tv/radio during the week. You can tell half of the time they're trying to find a narrative (or have a punt on) to make the game interesting.

    Yep...was like the cogs finally slipped into gear and wr got traction.

    Still very all over the shop before that.

    All those 'good structures' and 'good efforts' :rolleyes: just weren't gelling.

    Then ...... click (thankfully )

    How did the lamb taste, pretty juicy no matter how long it was in the oven...

    Oh Shite! it's probably pretty black by 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.

    • 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?
