Tough final five minutes to the term, but we held them relatively well, even if we had a little luck to go with it.

Midfield has been really good so far and I've liked the work of McDonald and Weideman up forward.

Hopefully those last five minutes were nothing more than a blip on the radar.

Yep. Same in Europe for me

Fine for me. Though could have done without the getting up at 3.30 am part.

Weid has been good.

Gee Melksham makes a huge difference to our forward line.

Salem playing the backline general well I recon he is the replacement for Lewis.

    Not bad so far.

    Port regained their poise somewhat at the end but we made the most of our opportunities early. Nibbler needs to work on his set shots however.

    Sparrow looks like he belongs.

     

    Some nice work so far. A few cheap turnovers in midfield but we're getting busy. 


    Viney and Petracca not exactly making their presence felt.

    With May to come back, Frost would want to be stepping up.

    No, surely Oscar has to come under scrutiny.  He is rubbish and is ridiculously slow.

    Jones has done some good stuff.  Very much involved in the game.

    Yep, he's actually been really good out on the wing.

    For those trying to watch overseas- this link is working.

    That was pathetic defensive work from O Mac then.  Westhoff should never have marked that.

    Frost is incredibly frustrating

    He was stiff, though.  Ball was called out on the full and then he paid the push in the back.

    Umpiring howler - how can you pay in the back to a ball that has gone out on the full!#!

    Bad call. Soft call. But Jesus Frost is dumb to put his hands on his back for no reason.

    Frustrating

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
