Alright lets build up a great lead then take our good players off towards the end. 

Bring it home well Melbourne 

 

from the AFL site

at least one positive from this mess:

Christian Petracca recorded quarter-highs for disposals (12), contested possessions (nine) and clearances (four). He was the only player to record more than one kick (four) at an efficiency of 100 per cent.

    We actually need to kick a swag of goals considering what is happening in Hawks dogs and considering north will win by 1000 points tomorrow

    Glad the dinner party I’ve been hosting has just finished and I’ve missed having to witness that scoreline


    Just now, —coach— said:

    Are north playing Frankston?

    They're glad they're not

    Great kick inside 50 from Billy Stretch there.  More of that would be great.

    ANB misses a sitter.  Anyone surprised?  I'm not.

    Nibbler doesn’t deserve to hold his spot on this form.

    ANB is trying his hardest to prove his defenders wrong.

    Sh|| t ! Really??? The wevver forecorst (say in tony grieg voice) said 25(ish).

    start pulling players to rest!!

    I know his opponent isn’t a world beater, but Frost has been very very good


    I notice Jones is getting caught a lot more this year. He's just that tad bit slower now. I fear the end might come for him a bit quicker than we though.

    is garlett still on ??? or just having a quiet one again

    He's kicked a goal and everyone said that was enough 

    My love for BF is huge, so many modern players would have tried to milk that high contact, he is just getting on with things, such a ball player.

     

    ANB golly ... cant hit a barn let alone a door!

    Get off Neal Bullen

    • 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?
