    Reasonably sure there's more to it than: Handball blind = Premiership.

    Him & Viney had a very compromised pre-season (only 3 weeks).  Let's see how they both come out in the first 6 rounds in 2020.

    Lever has been dogged today and not in a good way.  Another handball over the head Lucifer's longjohns!

    Tough to watch. How did our ball movement and skills get to be so bad. 

    Im so focused on how often we f up that’s its easy to forget the scores are level. I expect that small mercy to be removed early  in the third.

    Oliver's never had one though. Every time Max gives him one he hands it off to the nearest customer.

    Haha yep has a ring to it Trig.  Especially in the deep of winter!

    Melk & Fritschreig our only two who have shown natural forward instincts/craft and finishing skills this season along with Lewis when played there.  Good to have those two up forward again.  Working well together also so far.

    Melk one of the rare players for us who works hard to position himself front and square (on the move) for the crumb.

    Both are always on the move as well.

    wow... just wow

    Just tuned in been at a few open houses. Seems like our best footy has already happened :( 

     

    Gee Wags, JKH, ANB, Stretch and Spargs are all very easily brushed aside.   Need some strengthening, big pre-seasons await.   No sure how many with Dees in 2020.

    • 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?
