This would have taken a fair bit of energy out of the swans. Thank [censored] that Johnson came back this week and that feel good factor is not in play against the Dees.

Man I wish pies had of won tonight. Swans and buddy get their confidence back. Makes it a lot harder for us to make the 8

Pies will get to 14 wins with their soft draw. 

It is entirely 100% in our hands as to where we finish - even second, with double chance and home finals is possible .... in fact WILL happen if we win all our games.

So ...no excuses.


 

Super round of footy so far.

If anything, this round should be proof positive that we should fear no team in the competition.  Swans might have fallen over the line tonight, but I think the win paper's over their cracks.

Well... what a finish, I think this year will be as tantalising as last year - we’ll lose to GWS miraculously and hate all of our close losses for it...!

but we have a sniff’


Great chance to be 4th at end of round, as long as we don't screw the pooch. Massive game next week if we win tomorrow. Come on Dees. ?

How good has this round of footy been? Damn. 

First round in VFL/AFL history where 5 games decided by under a goal.

As long as we beat the Swans. Possibly one of WCE & GWS. And obviously the Suns. 

It should never be easy to make the Top 4. 

It’s time RIGHT NOW for the MFC to get serious

The filth nearly won with a depleted squad. I am nervous about next week but watching the swans they look terrible. We can move into 4th tomorrow so lets see if we can keep it.

Think this is the first time ever that a round has had 5 games decided by less than a goal.

Think how many TV's would have had coffee cups or bottles put through them.???

We could conceivably be playing GWS for a top 2 spot in round 23. 

And I see no reason why we can't be doing that.  The Eagles in Perth will be tough, but I think we can match them on the day.

If Kennedy is out we stand a very good chance.

If we want to win a flag this year, the Sydney win was the perfect result for us.
If we just want to Bradbury our way to an extra footy game this year, well then bad luck.

lol Franklin or not, Sydney are still terrible.

Collingwood literally has no backline with Dunn, Scharenberg & Howe. 

Of course a champion was going to kick a bag.

If we beat Eagles and GWS, we will go deep into September......just sayin

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • 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?
