Some players are having bad games. 

Good. It gives them focus to train out those deficiencies in the coming weeks. 

Video to be studied very closely.

I feel like he'll be on the bubble every game, but won't get dropped once injuries start.

Brayshaw probably to the main offender, which is annoying because he is a ball magnet.

Yes, his disposal hasn't been good so far today, but I'll put it down more to it being the first half of real competitive footy for the year than anything else.  His disposal isn't always that flash regardless.

The Wagners and Hore don’t look up to it.

I thought Hore looked alright myself.

Disagree.

ANB also very ordinary 

You are just realising that now?

Richmond winning in the air and on the ground. Who is 38 for them? Killing us in the air.

Is number 34 for us Hore?

He has done ok INHO.

Poor disposal from gus, nibbler, JKH and stretch hurt us.

RIchmond spread brilliantly and opened us up. 

I have not seen Dusty up close before. I now see why he is so hard to stop!


Steady on guys. Even Winx gets beaten in barrier trials!

They moved dusty onto the ball that quarter and the whole game changed immediately. 


that midfield combo of oliver, brayshaw, and harmes with trac and salem coming in would have to be one of the most exciting group of 21-23 year old mids i've seen

shame gus can't hit a target and trac can't kick a set shot

they're basically full strength, and when they had the centre square combo of martin, cotchin, prestia plus titch edwards coming in they were so much stronger than the group that we had up against em, which at one stage seemed to include stretch and jkh

And for all that, we're on level terms at half time.  Funny that.

Who would have thought that playing two Wagners wouldn’t cancel each other out? 

Petty looks promising. 

Oliver quite possibly could be the GOAT.

Just wait till we add Viney back into the midfield mix with Gawn knocking it down they're throats.  It will be orgasmic to watch.


I had a feeling that the rotations through the midfield were biting us.

Richmond were doing their flood dump kick attack that quarter.

Weeds seemed to get caught under the ball a few times.

We need that tall option to take the contested marks

We’ve shown lots of promise for an exciting season ahead for mine

FMD!! I'm reading some negative [censored]. It's half time in a [censored] JLT match FFS .Settle down lads.

Bit bitter but optimistic, wouldn't you say?

There wasn't much else to say about the second quarter. Just sucked. Nothing much more you can say. Noones slitting wrists.

IDees very ragged and being belted at ground level. And sorry  to say but Petracca looks slow, overweight and not that interested.

  • 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?
