Good Lord. Gastro. The curse is real.

I'm surprised we don't just forfeit.

    weed in. 

    We are rooted

    Yep. I have no faith in the Weid any more


    Only tiny positives is that JKH and Weideman get a chance.

    Though not sure how much of the ball they're going to see up their end of the ground ...

    We

    will

    win.

    I hate myself right now. I mean really.

    So with those late changes, the changes from last week are now:

    In: Hibberd, Hannan, Kennedy-Harris, Weideman
    Out: Hore, C Wagner, Lockhart, Petty

    The two late changes suck but the team is better off overall with these four changes. C Wagner and Petty were superfluous to our needs and we get two better marking forward options in Hannan and Weideman. JKH improves Lockhart, Hibberd replaces Hore adequately enough (less defensive stalwart-ness but more offensive drive).

    Salem and Hore. Two of our three best players this year ?

    Probably shouldn't have teased my mother about Saints players eating dodgy sweet n sour pork in China. Probably shouldn't have teased her about St Kilda being a basketcase pre-season either. It all comes back to bite.

    No mentions of the late outs on the coverage. Forever the professionals at Seven.

    Crowd sounds very pro-Crows. So much for home ground advantage. 

    Hate these dumb games. Sadly we play better here than at the G

    We made 5 errors in 1 passage of play and kicked a goal.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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?

      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?
