How was his kick that should have been spoiled over the line that Weid fortunately ended up marking and then his up and under to the North defender, instead of lowering his eyes.

The guy is finished and should have retired at the end of 2018.

Found space and the Pill to hit targets that lead to 3 goals

Melksham, Hannan, Spargo, Fritsch and Weideman have laid 4 tackles between them.

Surprisingly, Melksham has 2 of them (Hannan and Spargo 1 each).

Weideman is not there to tackle. His role is to mark or neutralize contests. That’s his forward pressure. And he has done it very well.

    Also, fitness is going to come into this.

    This is where Burgess will make his coin.  Both sides off a four day break.  Hopefully we have more in the tank than the Roos.

    If the umpires will stay out of the game we will win.

    Melk has been useless.

    To an extent I don't care if we win by 2 goals or 20 goals from here, we have just got to GET THE JOB DONE.

    i somewhat agree as it's 4 days between our last game 

    just want us to kick away a bit 3-4 goals I'll be happy

    Why must we always play on 

    because we're the dumbest team in the league? 

    Come on mate you should know this by now 


    Brayshaw WTF


    Spargo giving Bennell a lesson on how to play in the forward line. Spargo will keep his spot next week by the looks of it!

    Hollywood again from Trac

     

    Too casual Trac

    T Mac is finished. Honestly this should be his last game. He isn’t even close to AFL standard anymore.

    • 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?
