Pert sounds too much like Robert Walls for my liking.

Wall was a Melbourne supporter as a kid.

 

Feels like we have a lot of weapons in the forward half now. Preuss looks like a handful and throw Joel Smith in there, there's a lot for the coaching staff to work with on top of what we already had.

Hunt has been impressive off half back. 

Really pleasing to see. Terrific game so far by Hunt. He looks really composed with ball in hand.

    Yep, in a game where, understandably, players having been getting up to speed, Hunt has been lowering his eyes quite well.

    Pert interview interesting. 

    Speaking about the stream he said fans want content, access and an inside perspective and they are going to provide that this year. Perhaps he hasn't sent the memo to his comms team yet but situation sounds positive

    Unfortunately I don't think Jeffy and JKH will feature much in 2019. I hope I'm wrong. 

    Bit hard on JKH, had plenty of touches and disposal has been ok.

    Garlett showing bugger all so far.

    Hunt’s performance so far looks very encouraging.. the Hunt of old perhaps.

     


    Have just dipped in and out of the Live Stream intermittently. Four players seem to be involved whenever I take a quick look - JKH, VDB, ANB and Hunt.  However, primarily because of the low angle of the cameras, it's almost impossible to work out whether their disposals are productive.

    It is a fantastic atmosphere down here - I’d guess around up to 5000 here?

    Really impressed by Trac and Harmes at ground level, JKH busy in the second term in particular, Preuss excellent in the air, and Hunt running hard but his kicking leaves a bit to be desired, Lewis and Hore very calm and composed down back

    Wouldn't mind seeing some camera work to show the set-ups at centre bounce under the new rules.

    Also, how far can players run for the point kick ins?  I thought there was going to be a big 'square' around the traditional one.  Couldn't see any markings so will the umpires be guessing how far players run?  

    On the new kick-in rule,  Max and Preuss doing well marking from the kick-ins.  It seems we have a set-up down field, depending on who kicks in.  I think we are working well with that new rule.

    That little checked kick by Hunt to find a target inside 50. He looks on this season. Would have blazed away previously.

    How great must it be to have facilities like these.

    We really lag behind the comp big time in that regard. Hope our leadership fix this soon.

    What a great training ground this is.

    • 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?
