Win the last without injuries.

Then bring on the Swans.

    Bit of a lapse but didn't lose the quarter so I'll take it. Need a strong finish! 

    ANB dreadful turnovers that should be goals.

    Panic merchant.

    Let’s be honest here, we’ve played one good quarter and that’s it. Disappointing. 

    Bring this slop the next 3 weeks and we won’t make finals.

    2 goals to one that quarter... getting worse

    Getting worse or nothing to play for? We've won. We've got an unassailable percentage. We have 3 tough games coming up. Why go for the kill?

    Sloppy. I want to see us put the foot down in the last quarter.

    We need to be sharp to beat the Swans. 


    All well and good to be miles in front and obviously I am happy about that but we need to develop a real killer instinct mentality and should be 100+ in front now.

    Exactly

    The Swannettes will be sore this week

    I’d rather us keep the momentum going and build this percentage than worry about the probability of a potential injury. Foot down. This footy won’t win next 3 weeks. Oliver and Brayshaw freaks as usual

    Goody looks nonplussed in the box late in that quarter.    My armchair emotions are a bit more outlandish.

    They’ve been a rotation down since Q1.

    Look at the end of the day I’ll take an 80+ win with no injuries. That said I hope Goodwin does give it to them a bit, some bizarrely stupid decision making and a massive ease off of pressure. 

    I swear since the seven commentators gave TMac a big pump up of his set shots he’s been 50/50. Really should’ve snared that one from a great mark. 

    Anyway 20min of footy left to leave the suns a mess for next week.

    Unassailable percentage? Cats play Suns and Dockers at home. What do you think they will gain in those games? We are wasting percentage again. Hope we out score them by another 6 or so goals this last quarter. 

    normally would be rapt this far in front at the break but really that   qtr       was pathetic,and           oscar please go home

    It’s not easy playing witches hats for 2 hours. They were lifeless and dead at 1/4 time

    Geelong play Gold Coast in Rd23...in Geelong...186 may be under threat

    Too many want to coast when presented with an easy win. Why is This. Mac being outmarked by a midget.

    You've summed it up Jaded.

    One quarter if very good footy then rooting around against a injury ridden bottom side.

    Yes we win. But how well have we played?

    2nd best percentage in the comp with 4 less wins not enough for you?

    4 goals this quarter Jesse and your back in the Coleman race!

    • 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?

      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?
