Where was everyone in our backline just then? 

Well jones was there.........but only watching.


Must be the 2 goalless quarters now. 

How can every other team chip it through from half back but we kick long to a 3 on 1?

I don’t understand why when we get we get a free 60 out from the Adelaide goal dead set centre of the ground, we kick it perpendicular to where we want to go tot he wing. All you do when you do that is give the opposition time to flood your forward line and force a situation where it takes 2-3 kicks to get inside your forward 50 rather than 1?

Ah, the Night Watchman! Very noble of him

 

I honestly think OMac is the worst player in the AFL. Seriously, what does he offer besides making Jenkins look like a star ?

Salary cap relief?

Well we got a few soft frees there that we managed to get a goal from.

Makeshift backline could be our undoing here. The question is going to be if we can kick a big enough score to overcome the goals we're going to leak up the other end. Still, at least we're kicking goals and looking like a decent team. Next week with More, Salem, May and Lever in ... look out.

Out: Omac, Wagner, Spargo and one other I haven't decided yet

Gawn to Melbourne is the equivalent of a 10 dating a 2 because she’s “nice” 

8 marks inside inside 50.

Who are these guys?

They seem to be looking before they kick.......

Fritter is way more valuable at half forward, where there isn't as much pressure as in the backline. When is this going to happen full time?

We are dominant. But we need another two goals.  Come on Melb

Comedy relief?

 

Smith is sore. Has he ever played a full AFL game without being injured?

  • 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?
