Man I dunno. It's a game I guess. We're lucky to be in front but we are working our backsides off and especially our backline.

What will be will be, I'd love to win but it's been a great effort to get here. Give it a red got crack!

    Predicting big second half from Clarrie and Gus - they tend to get better as the game goes on.

    True, and my word we need them! 

     

    Our defence has been fierce, the pressure has been good, not at the level of last week but we can get there. We need mids to go up a gear like a few 3rd quarter responses we’ve had this year.

    I agree was basically a basketball charging foul situation.  I don't think it should have been a free in AFL football, but it would have been very hard for Oliver to stay upright.

    Definitely a free when 50m off the ball


    Third quarters are our thing. Let's see how we go. If the Hawks get on top again they will be hard to stop.

    Oh well, we are ahead. Melksham and Hannan need to lift. And Tyson is useless

    I don't like Tyson being caught in our defensive 50.

     

    They’re worn down... we’ll crack ‘em open this quarter I reckon.

    It's all over Twitter. Fox footy saying he dived, AFL Nation asking people if he flopped. 

    But no mention of Sicilly a couple of minutes later flying out the front of the pack.

    Technically yes, but if all those are given in finals, it will get farcical.

    Took Spargo 3 attempts before he hit Brayshaw for that last goal. I still wonder if he is up to it.

    He may not be, but right now, he is. His pressure is good.


    Saw Kennett on tv. Am hoping to shove it to him.

    • 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?
