Wiseblood involved in everything here!

I'm currently keeping one eye on a three month old in a bouncer, one eye on the game and one eye on here.  I've got three eyes somehow.

    Psychic line. Some days are tricky. Some days are great. So what kind of day is today going to be? It falls into a completely different  category. It holds the potential to be a day that you won't forget. Take advantage of the cosmic potential for transformation

    In the MCC tonight and still manage to have a row of Richmond nuffies behind me..

    We should take over the AFL enclosure on the Southern Stand,  when redeveloped. Own that area...  and start to takeover the Ponsford, as well.

    Hahah nice! Wife’s out, just got my 7month old to bed before the game, 3yo into bed after our second goal and 5yo currently wriggling like a worm with tiredness and watching the game with me.

    How good was that?  Took the right options, worked hard to get forward and lowered our eyes.  Great work.

    Great lead by Nibbler to get Melk to kick there.

    The uncontested turnovers are absolute killers.  We must have had a handful already.  Just bombing it from defence and it just comes straight back in.

    Loved that first term.  More pressure, better use going forward and I feel like we tightened up defensively.  The test will be to keep it up for three more quarters, but the early signs are good.

    One thing we need to fix is the bomb out of defence.  You can't always be precise, but we can't allow them uncontested marks with repeat entries.  They'll score from them eventually.

    Can't complain, they're having a dip. A lot more running back to help out as well.

    That fake handpass by Melksham before kicking to Hunt is what I want to see more of.

    It was only slight but it opened up the ground in front of him.

    Their inside 50 pressure is unreal. Means they have time to setup behind the ball and cut us off. When we get time, and use it well, we are picking through them.

    Not sure we can keep it up, but doing ok

    At least we've shown we CAN play, even if it's only for a quarter. Something there to build on going forward.

    Under a lot of pressure.

    The intent is there. Right now I’ll take that.

    Tom Mac showing us why he's so much more effective up forward where, with the sticks in front of him, he doesn't have to worry about his disposal.

    Credit to Goodwin for trying some kooky [censored] [censored]. I am here for it! 

    Would love anyone in this team to hit a target this year.

      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.

      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?
