Luckily I am getting tanked before the in laws and kids come over for tea. How unwatchable if football these days...but I still can't avert my eyes.

By the way... still no goalless quarters...

The we momentum swung our way that qtr. Our finishing i to the forward line is still a massive worry.

 

After least after last week we should be fresh to run it out hard in the second half

Lots of positives though. Have liked Hannan’s game so far - he adds plenty when he is fit and going.

He and Lockhart have been great additions.

    McDonald is doing everything right so far. Everything he has brought the ball down our way its created opportunities for our cumbers

    Should have been the first dropped after the Carlton game as was stated many times here, sadly our coaching geniuses thought otherwise.

    He has half a game to keep his place.

    I think James Harmes might be back in the midfield for good after this.

    Rivers and Lockhart look very very good 

    Like them, just add something different 

    if Tmac can stick a few it'd be nice

    Much better quarter but still issues.

    We're barely generating shots on goal and too many of them are on an angle.

    Brayshaw's goal was nice but the kick inside 50 from Harmes was to a pack of Geelong players who spoiled each other.

    Our defence tightened though, and our ball movement sped up which was important. We're zero chance of winning if we try playing slow with short kicks.

    Gawn, Tomlinson and Lockhart all playing well IMO.

    god damn we need a forward 

    Might be time to swap Lever up forward for T-Mac.  Even if its just for a quarter.  Need a tall mobile marking forward in the mix.  Too many wasted entries

    Steven May playing a very good defensive game on Hawkins.

    Rivers is playing like a veteran already.

    Hibbered has actually been good.

    Leave Harmes in the midfield and get rid of the Dusty don't argues!

    agree - he's too good to play down back

    • 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?
