Good luck Jacko, Rivo and Benno!!

Dees by 20 pts relax we got this.

Oh and Hunt to play dangerous forward crumber!

 

I expect the guys to be a bit rusty, and somewhat scrappy with "connection". I'll be OK with this if we give a 4 quarter effort.

The amount of games I've been to where it appears we put the cue in the rack after getting out to a three goal lead early in the game.....

Do it for Nev. And me.  

Just saw the pre game Zoom with Mahoney. Sounds like Hunt will be spending more time up forward for speed around the contest. Has a point bit to prove, would love to see him snag a couple. 

 

An unintended consequence of no AFL for the 1st part of the year was the rest of the family's disinterest in it becoming vocal. AFL in the past had always been unspoken priority, but Id lost my privileges. By yesterday i could sense a gritty losing battle.

Enter a 70" Ultra HD 4K TV for the man cave. My barely used BetEasy account with $2 left (thanks Demons) has led to Kayo being added as a free App for 3 months. Just finished setup connecting with the LAN. Me and my new scarf are chafing at the bit. C'mon Demons!

I had a crumpet for the first time in probably thirty years. Hoping it's not a omentaphor for our defensive structure.

As he should. 
We lack goal kicking avenues up forward and Hunt proved himself to be a handy goal kicker for a lot of last year. Anyone remember the winning goal he kicked last year in the same game from outside 50?

Its forward or bust for Hunt IMO.

This sounds like a silly question to ask, but are all games at Marvel with the roof closed through this covid period rail, hail or shine?

Correct... The open roof plays havoc with the TV coverage

Terrible stadium but we're stuck with it

I heard a few weeks ago that the roof will be closed for most if not all games at Marvel.

Expecting it to be closed today.

How long does it take for the roof to close?

They’re using a hand-crank to save money so 17 days.

Make of this what you will. One night on the drink my friends and I had the idea of a prank for morning radio. One of the guys was a Commercial real estate agent. We planned to have a for sale sign made up and have it placed in front of AFL park Waverly. Only the guy did not make up the sign, instead being a sharp agent he pitched the idea to Jeff kennett who was figuring out planning for the docklands. [censored] of with the guy for not doing the prank and maybe having a small hand in us playing at Marvel today.

at this point it wouldn’t even shock me if goody put jackson in the backline after training as a forward/ruck. I’d expect nothing less from Melbourne

Feels like you went with the trusty alphabet soup Skuit...

Wait where has this stuff about Jackson playing in defense come from? We are crying out for quality tall forwards and avenues to goal. Why would you take a talented young tall who has trained ruck and forward and then stick him in the backline?! What a stupid decision that would be. Very Melbourne!

Neogilistic portmanteau fail. I may be a bit excitable at the moment.

  • 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.

    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?
