Ha, ha. Which one? Perhaps all three!

equilibrium - a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced,

                       a state of physical balance,

                       a calm state of mind.

He actually forgot his underwear before the 1999 French Open, and didn't want to take up his coach's offer of wearing his, so he played without any. Because he won he decided to never wear underwear again!

I guess there was none for sale at the tournament ?  frilly knickers, non ?

That would be coaching 101 to have T Mac playing as a defender tonight.

Coaching 101 is also not to start throwing players around because the whole team is under-performing, or to start shuffling players who are down on form.

(Though with May, Lever and O'Mac out, and the next generation not ready, the rule book could be ripped up.)

King of the bleeding obvious- Cameron Ling. "Melbourne must win tonight." Spare me.

Painful isnt it....

Interested to see if we stick to the zone defence guarding space. Never liked it because requires everyone to know exactly where to position themselves and be able to adjust on the go with awareness of what's happening around you. Don't have the confidence that all our players have the smarts or instinct for this...

T Mac and Frost walked out together, warmed up together for a while, walked back in together chatting the whole way.

Backline Bros tonight?

With any sense... straight to the pub !!

Any reason why after years of linking arms around each other’s shoulder for the national anthem and Anzac ceremony we decided not to do it this year?

So does that mean we're left with Weids and Bull up front? It won't matter how many i50s we have tonight in that case.

Depends how we use it going forward, and how often we make a contest.  If we can at least break even in a marking contest and get it to ground, you would hope the additions of Garlett and Lockhart would go someway to helping us create some pressure and to keep the ball locked in there, which is what we want.

But if we bomb it to 2 or 3 on 1s, then we're in trouble.  Big trouble.

I saw that and thought instantly 'I wonder which poster will bring that up on Demonland?'.

You didn't disappoint.  Means nothing.  We did it last year and lost, so it makes no difference.

I was thinking Lockhart goes back as the Jetta replacement. We'll know soon enough. I don't have much faith in us doing anything other than bomb it in at the moment.


Any reason that woman interviewing Hardwick was wearing a Dressing Gown? budget cuts...

I'd love to see T Mac down back tonight.  I know he has the odd brain fart moments, but he brings some experience and we know he can match it with the best.  It might help to bring back some confidence in his game as well.

Needs to find some form somewhere why not.  T Smith out of the square.

Low long raking kicks get there quicker and create more chaos.  Quick bail out kick if no early options coming inside is ok but at least go long & low so the opp can't intercept as easy and chaos when it hits the deck...

Good luck Demons! 

Chilling.. just watched the SBS report on Srl Lanka... my advice to Jonesy, Louie and Jack.. just tell the boys to enjoy it... we all love you

  • 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?
