    Lifetime ban for these two for touching hands. Hope they sanitised afterwards ?

    Lever is so well spoken. Future captain written all over him. Hard to believe how young he still is.

    Good interview, but i put that down to the fact that Jake is such a good media performer. The stand out part for me is from 9:20 mins in where he said we didnt play the Melbourne way in round 1. You couldnt possibly be less accurate. The problem was we played EXACTLY the "Melbourne way". Win from the bounce and bomb it long . The whole league knows that is what we do. With the incredible quality of West Cokes backline that was never going to work. In fact it failed practically every match last year as well.

    The "Melbourne way" he talks about is not the way we play.

    Change or keep losing matches we shouldn't.

    Let's be positive and assume that he meant there is a new Melbourne way but we slipped into old habits and din't play the Melb way.

    Just a question , Sue, if we didn't play the way that we are supposed to, what was different that happened after Qtr time? 

    Because we actually kept with them, didn't we, for the rest of the game score wise, which unfortunately i didn't see?

    Uhm he did talk about the “connection” to forwards so they know the “Melbourne way” they want to play (won the contest and connect to the forwards) but they played the “Melbourne way” they have played for so many years besides 1 under Goodwin.

    hoping we have two great players here !

     

    was bored with Social Isolation  feeling better looking to football Not sure how I will feel about the season 2020. The first round was a write off, for us and at least two other sides.

    • 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?
