Dogs

giants

blues

port

bombers

WC

bears

csts

 

hoping the Suns/crows/Freo can cause some upsets however!! Not to mention the demons

 

Picking from a what is good for MFC viewpoint there are several interesting matches.

If Adelaide could bet the Bombers that would be fantastic.

As for the others depends if you are an optimist or a pessimist. Believing us to be clearly top 4 material ?I'm going for

GWS

North

Port

Dockers

Eagles

Bulldogs

Hawks and Swans to draw

And Storm to thrash the Broncos !!

Not fussed who wins tonight. Don't mind either team. 

I'd love to see Adelaide get up and beat the bummers. That would be fantastic. 


I reckon the dogs in a canter tonite.

Should actually be a pretty watchable game tonight. Both teams happy to play with an offensive mindset so hopefully we see a few goals kicked.

tis indeed

no defensive pressure whatsoever

 

Would prefer a Suns win tonight.  Think it helps us more, as they will likely run out of steam in the seasons 2nd half anyway.    Dogs one of our main competitors for a spot in the 8.

really, dogs should be a top 6 side

they've disappointed since the surprise premiership

sigh...i'd love a surprise premiership...


Half Time and neither side has impressed at this point in time. 

The other thing that’s not impressing is the rain and the predictions that it’s going to hang around the Coast for the next few days and affect our game on Sunday.

 It should also impact our team selection and I’m thinking Nathan Jones is firming for a return. T. Mac also still a chance as well.

Weightman - 0 posies into the third.  Runs around packs like a seagull looking for a chip.

Post that in the Weightman thread!

Pickett all day, every day.

I’ve really enjoyed the Suns v Dogs game. 
English has gone from a bag full of chocolates to the boiled lollies this week. 
I really enjoy seeing Libba back to his best, tough little nugget and just keeps bobbing up for stats and goals. 

The ground is going to struggle with the weather on the way.

Wow, just checked.  31 hit outs to 8.  English getting a lesson

I'm sorry but I simply don't rate the doggies.

They've got a gun midfield with a forward line that only works on some weeks.  When it's off they can't score at all.  Granted, the weather didn't help later in the game, but at they can be totally impotent inside 50.

Also, anyone feel ill when Billy Gowers marked the ball with about 30 seconds left and then turned it over with a shocker of a kick.  I swear he could have been wearing a Melbourne jumper when he did that.

100%. He had players everywhere or he could have chewed up time. Instead he did his Angus Brayshaw impersonation and shanked one into the corridor and hit the GC on the [censored]

I'm getting really really really REALLY tired of the commentators fawning over Rankine!!  Even when he kicked behinds in the last, they were making it seem like it was part of a cunning plan! (did love his mark though)

Me too! He's kicked 6.9 for the year and has burnt some team mates

 

I think the novelty will wear off pretty quickly with him. He can have all the tricks in the world, but eventually he will have to tow the line for the team and he will be watching from the stands

  • 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?
