All those who carped about Melbourne not beating top 8 eight sides can now officially GAGF.  We are worthy finalists and will do some damage. Bye bye cats next week.

Also all the Jones haters can GAGF - top game from the Captain.

    What happened to Tyson?

    Gawn kicked the ball of the ground and collected some part his arm (close to his wrist I think). Think it’s a fracture of some sort.

    Harmes did an outstanding job on Kelly. 

    Harmes was fantastic. Smashed Kelly and collected 29 disposals and a goal himself (Kelly with 19 touches).

    Just think. We are a St Kilda debacle away from third.

    On the other hand, 3 of the 4 teams that smashed us are in the four so perhaps were are where we deserve to be.

    We learnt from 2017 that percentage counts and to score as much as possible and deny them easy goals.

    Today we learnt that to be a top team, we cannot concede losses to inferior teams.

    We took the game on with nothing to lose.

    Thats when we play at our best. Quick, clean, aggressive footy.

    Loved it.

    Bring on the Cats!

    BT on seven said that we have the second highest % which is the first time since 1964 we have achieved this  

    We all know what happened in 1964.

    Harmes is seriously good. Has had a great month of football. Very damaging player. Pops up at the right times. Everything we need leading into finals. Also, we play 110% without Hogan in the side. If we hold onto Jesse I hope we play him in defense next year. We look a far better side without him in the forward line.

    GWS looked like they didn’t want to play us again in the finals with some of their efforts in the 3rd qtr.

    Terrible for Tyson and Kent...   Tyson still might get up for the final but Kent is done... the bloke can not take a  trick.

    Salem is mint. Most underated player in our side.

    Roosy summed it best during the week when he compared him to Jarrad McVeigh in his prime.  He can be a general across half back for us for years to come.

    Triple M just reported that players sent coaches and staff out of the meeting room.  Suspect some sort of pact was being hatched!

    Players are really owning this - absolutely beautiful!

    • 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?
