If we get on top of their midfield, forward line and back line, we’ll win. 

Once again Ethan - a brilliant and succinct analysis. 

Where would we be without your insights.?

 

Just arrived back at The Manor and read Ethan's preview to bring me up to date.

Had a terrible week really. Purchased what I thought were very sexy and moderately priced undies for the maid and it turns out they were face masks.

Next, when I started talking up a Demons win the maid fled.

Anyway I've been driving around all arvo searching for her. Didn't find her sadly but I lifted the spirits of the local serfs by letting them see me and giving them a wave.

Now i'm cracking a reasonably priced shiraz quaffer and putting an obscenely fat steak on the barbie ( barbie as in cooking appliance that is).

I'm super confident again. We showed some very convincing signs last week ( albeit  against a [censored] Hawthorn) and reckon we'll only get better this week. 

Kozzie to kick a couple. Jones to surprise. Viney to cause serious injury. Dees by 27 !!!

Just got poured on waiting to get in. Luckily they opened the gates 5 minutes early. Was a big downpour for about 5 minutes and now just lightly raining. Think it should pass soon.

The “Before the Bounce” videos have been really good this year. 
Well played to those involved. 
 

the running of Lockhart you just do not see during a game on TV ?

Well he is tastefully and responsibly attired Jim but I'm not certain.

The rearview of the Sheila looks familiar though.

Until getting trapped in Oz I've spent most of my adult life living in time-zones west of Australia. I thought getting up at 5am in Europe to watch the football was a drag. But having to wait until after 5pm is much worse. 

Mate even having to wait till 10h today. What am I meant to do? Watch Eagles v the Pies? ?

Well is was pissing down when we arrived and now a light mist of rain. Hopefully no more rain. 
 

That’s the report from the weather man on location ?

It’s our home away from home.

Don't think we'll win this. The Lions are in the kind of form we are merely aspiring to be in right now. Will be happy with a gutsy, tight and close game (and would of course be elated with a win!). The only thing that would upset me is seeing any kind of regression and a low-effort performance.

 

Other than a good win against Port they haven't beaten much. Got thrashed by the Cats too

Club has issued vision of the heavens opening up over the ground.

Apparently, 100.2mm of rain fell at the Gold Coast Seaway to 9am Sunday morning. This was the highest daily July rain for the station since 2005.

2020. What a year. 
 


At least we should handle the wet conditions OK, we are after all from Melbourne????? what a crazy old world this Covid-19 world is...........WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

 

Go Dee's, give us all something to smile about in old Melbourne Town.???!!!

Anyone have any idea what the weather is like up on the Gold Coast today??

Brisbane is better than us. Big question about whether we can perform against a side stronger than GC/Carlton, mid-table sides.

But I'm really looking forward to it. If we play the same way we did last week, we can certainly win.

Might be wrong but I believe there has been some rain. 

Just in case everyone wanted another weather report from the ground .. the rain has stopped! 


It has stopped raining. 

Let the game begin. 

That’s the report from the weather man on location

  • 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?
