Oscar McDonald...oh boy!

If Oliver, Viney and Brayshaw get on top and the umpires shed their bias, we are seriously in this.

Yep, it's what has me quietly confident for the second half.  They lifted in that last ten minutes, so hopefully that has given them confidence.

I agree with others that we have been well beaten in some areas tonight, but the fact we are still in it is a real positive.  Our forward line has looked much more open which has allowed us to kick more goals and have those opportunities.  If the three you mentioned above continue to lift then we can get more of those chances in the second half.

If Jones is to play it must be up forward - useless elsewhere.

Hibberd is gone. Hore showing something.

Wagners will never be any good.

OMac just horrible.

Your last two statements i agree with. I haven't given up on Hibb's yet though.

Had a bit of a shocker.

I've felt Frosty hasn't been too bad so far tonight, apart from one kicking blunder.  He has generally done some good things down back.

U pairing is [censored]. Boundaries can’t throw the ball in. Field umpires always looking for a soft over the shoulder to the Swans and if we get a free they bring it back everytime allowing the Swans to manup. Front on contact to our forwards doesn’t exist. Anyway we are still in it. Petracca stand up mate!

Sure, but the forward line isn't really the problem, it's up the other end of the ground where we've been leaking goals all season. Even against Essendon we managed 18 goals - which, incidentally was the 3rd highest score in the whole round.

Long bombs i50 not hurting us as much. A few are thankfully looking shorter

 

My God were in front!!!

That ump will be sacked


Front contact now but not in 1st quarter? Umpires are straight out idiots


We simply can’t let the ball into our defensive 50 because it’s a certain goal. 

 

Let’s put Spargo on the mark again.

  • 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?
