It is starting to look like our real problem is that we still struggle to compete against the top teams, same as last year. Just unfortunate we started the season against three of the major rivals for top 4?

Having said that, I'd still prefer Essendon to fall in a hideous heap.

Port playing with the audacity we were late last year.  Eagle look way off, not sure if its a just an off night, the rain or Port pressure.  But the most entertaining game to watch this round so far.

The rain is West Cokes Kryptonite.

No team can go into any game now,  after dreaming of they're own bathwater,  early in the week.

Bathwater is toxic to winning for any team,  these days.

Port are such a Jekyll and Hyde team. Couldn't beat a Richmond side without the majority of their A-graders last week at home, then back that up on a short break by being the first side to beat West Coast with Darling and Kennedy in the side in nearly two years.

The wet didn't help West Coast but Port showed that when you bring A-grade pressure in your front half, even the most composed sides will struggle to get the ball past the halfway mark. What Port did is exactly what we're trying to do, and what we did well at our best in 2018.

Port were “on” from the first bounce and did not let go. 

It was a very impressive performance, and one i suggest Goodwin look at closely

 

Freo almost home against GWS. 

How are your tips going?!?

Betting is almost impossible at the moment. I understand rounds 1-3 you shouldn’t bet but the trend continues.

Hogan playing okay against GWS.... Freo not looking like easy beats

He always plays well when we play St Kilda.

Hogan 22 disposals, 14 marks and 3 goals  

Beat me to it.  He and Taberner had big games.  Walters had five score involvements in the last Quarter too. 

Whenever I watch a gws game it has the feel of a preseason game due to the grounds they at in. Canberra and Sydney 

though also when we play in the NT

Watching Richmond v Swans.

Swans are so bad. It's like watching the Dees in different jumpers.

Perhaps we could merge, the Melbourne Swans ?    Or perhaps we could be the Sydney Demons, or better yet maybe alternate.  good-team,  bad-team...  weak in, weak out... of town.

Then we could have buddy,  and Nate could play with brother, and Vanders could be closer to home.

Simple one week we wear dark blue on our jumper,  the other week we wear white.   We already wear white for away games now.

simples.


Carlton versus  Footscray, Game umpired to Carlton to win. Blatant free kicks paid to Carlton to win. Never seen anything like it. Not even half time yet. Sad that the AFL have appointed people who are manipulating umpires and our game to achieve desired results. 

Half way thru the 3rd and Carlton haf a 5 goal lead and heading for their first win.

If it ends like this they will be 14th on the ladder. ?

Such an even season, and we have completely blown it.

  • 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.

    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?
