.... then it may just be the last game I watch this year. No Sandilands and Fyfe, Stephen Hill milestone game with his brother Brad returning after his misdemeanour and the game being in Darwin, all presents itself (somehow weirdly) as a recipe for Deesaster. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we choke again given the pressure on the club to perform.

Forward lines and back lines are all over the shop and our mids are out of gas with 8 weeks left in the season. If we can't get things to click this weekend, the season is down the gurgler.

It will be Game, Set & Match. Thank you linesman and thank you ball boys. Game over

Champion Data have us finishing 6th after 15 rounds. So that must include a win against Freo.

But then again they nominated Petracca as an elite player in rankings at start of season, alomng with Lever (correct) Hunt (?) and TMac (tick)

And nominated Gawn and Oliver as " above average" !

 

 

.................we are crap.

 The self satisfied comments from Jones after the bulldogs game and saying the players were looking forward to a rest after 6 wins on the trot says it all. Sunday might be the ideal time to start thinking about being out of the country in September

He always makes stupid comments like that.

Should be kept away from microphones and cameras at all costs.

Dees by 20 goals. Freo won't score, Petty to take 22 intercept marks, Trac to have 47 disposals, Hogan to kick 11 goals. 

 

None of us are going to toss it in now we're all too addicted to our beloved by frustrating as hell footy team....lets be honest you would have tossed it in years ago if a disappointing loss was enough to trigger you!

if we lose - season over. ill vent for a while then lose interest

If we win - even by 80 pts, ill be asking where was this last week.

if we beat freo then dogs, ill get sucked back in a little and be ripe for the next disappointment

Good times!!

I charted a flight over Hawaii last week and threw my lid deep into My Kilauea, where it was instantaneously consumed in a fiery death deep in the bowels of the lava flow, never to return.

Should the MFC somehow miraculously conjure a finals appearance in the next 5 years I might just commission an expert volcano diving expedition to try and recover the molten remains and fashion them into a Viking helmet to be donned during the finals campaign. Does anyone know an expert blacksmith capable of working with a metal and igneous rock formation?

All this was in preparation for a near inevitable loss this week. I better login to Wife's online betting account and see how many $ she has stashed away from endlessly backing Winx.

I'll delete the game from my IQ and move on with life.

I will not seethe inside and want to burn the world down...

 

That last bit may be a lie...

Mt Doom.

Darwin has been so good to us. 

I wonder how many Memberships have been generated through our heroic deeds up there in the humidity?

45 maybe?

I posted in the other thread (I can't recall which due to my terrible promiscuity - sorry) about the weather at approx 7.10 CST there.

Low RH, low heat index, light onshore wind, temp > dew point, temp approx 22, mid winter, low chance of precip.

Has anyone who is in Darwin or has been, in these conditions, able to comment on the on ground conditions? Sounds pretty good to me.

Watching the NT games on TV, the loudest cheers are always for the opposition. In case of a WA or SA team it sound just like home ground support for them.

If we lose to Freo it’s season over.

And then I want to know what the implications are of missing the finals 2 years in a row, especially after being 8-3 this year.

Head coach sacked?

New president?

At the very least they can punt that assistant coach that wore his Richmond scarf to every final last year, and was seen actively supporting a rival club.

Of course. This was the last “deal” on the AFL Table, you wouldn’t choose it. 

This better be the last one

I struggled this week, mate. If we roll over against Freo I don't think I'll be able to pull anything positive out of the bag!

And if we win you'll find something negative. 

Swings and roundabouts and all that...

Negatives after a win??

No i wouldn’t think that at all

You are a very sick man

Winners make finals and the the MCG is full of expectation ..

  • 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?
