Are we a chance for our lowest ever live television ratings today? 

The demonland podcast live audience numbers might give it a nudge.

I for one will be watching it live. Cant wait. 

My weekend will be a lot more peaceful not sweating on a match. And we only have to wait till Monday night for the next game!

    I see there's a bit of MFCSS virus still lurking about Uncle.  Nothing a good Shiraz won't flush out!

    I'd recommend giving it a fair shake well before the bounce.  Finished the remainder of my Wolf Blass grey off on the weekend PRIOR to the match and it worked a treat... anxiety quashed!

    I shall certainly act on that advice Rusty

    Nice leather seat option on the Range Rover there Northern! 

    Leather, an option! It is compulsory my good man. Air-conditioned leather is the option.

    Have to admit the changes have left me a little flat and very uninspired.  Pickett out I understand first year player but he brings some level of excitement to our side, ANB is plain boring and offers little.  Smith, I think can play needs a period to adjust to AFL speed, Fritsch/Hannan same but different, Fritsch is a marking forward that can kick goals, Hannan offers a lot more on the defensive side, a lot less on the attacking.

    Harmes/AVB both try hard, lack the decision making and disposal skills.

    If we keep the Swans in the game, I'm worried that youthful confidence will beat us, they have a lot of talented younger players with some seasoned mids that can shut our midfield down.


    Who would have guessed that after the Bulldogs game that we would be playing footy in SEPTEMBER.?

    The least excited I've been about a Joel Smith inclusion since he joined the club. I feel as though he's purely in the side based on need and short turn arounds and less on his form in the practice matches/training. Either way I hope that means he has a good game.

    Unfortunately for Joel the backline is pretty deep this season at the medium-tall back positions. This along with poor run of injuries has really stunted his development at AFL level. Looking for him to really show something with the opportunity tonight.

    It’s a day for role playing and sticking to the system: working them over methodically and then going over them in the last quarter. Hopefully ?

    We are playing an injury depleted Sydney outfit. The only way we won't be ahead at the final siren, is if we are already ahead of ourselves. 

    It's fantastic that AFL and FTA partners consider Melbourne supporters are again more interested in 4.00 News  and The Chase on 7

    Medical Emergency, Storage Wars, American Pickers on 7-2  or Graveyard Cars andBargain Hunt on 7Mate.

    Wouldnt want to interrupt this essential viewing with a game unwatched by demon fans.

    Of course everyone knows that Melbourne Football club members and supporters all watch their game on pay TV, sipping their whisky with their feet up in the ski lodge they drove to in their Jaguar.

    Im missing the skiing but would have been able to interrupt the outdoor physical activity to watch it in the bar of Zirkys in any normal season.

    It's back to the radio coverage here as of course no outlets (pubs)in our regional areas are open for business with the now luxury of any pay tv options.

    Oh well at least we'll get to see them on TV on grand final day. Get there Dees

    4:40pm on a Thursday! I just had to quickly block out the time in my work calendar so nobody sneaks a late afternoon meeting in.

    I just want 4 points, and given our percentage is already healthy, I wouldn't be against managing a few players through the game if we are in a comfortable position. Tough 9 days coming up.

    Are we winning the contest / clearance?  For a team that prides itself on this, we have sucked at this for many wee

    It was unusual that the saints smashed us in centre clearances and we won. If we had dominated in this area we would have won by a big margin. 

    Im sure we will turn this aspect around today.

    Have a ripper, non-Netflix time. Watch the Dees beat the Feathered Ones, what a dream. Pies, beer and football - nothing could be better.

    ...

    But I don't drive a Jaguar. Other than that you nailed it.

    PS. The snow is melting quickly.

    I reckon we will have a down game over the last few rounds as we don’t have a bye and the short turnarounds and heat. 

    I will be impressed if we turn up and smack Sydney but I won’t be surprised if this is a slog. As least for the first three quarters

    Is Kayo an option for you?  Or AFL live pass for a game by game option?

    I feel your pain, I’m not quite sure how I survived before Kayo.  I remember having an AFL live subscription watching the games with my family huddled around my iPad.

    I'm having flashbacks of our loss to them in 2018, but I feel as though we've matured since then. 

    That was the last game Jesse Hogan played for the Demons.

    The Swans can’t score and our defence is peaking, there’s no way we can lose this game. Sydney by 27.

    Your predictions are the best.

    Looking forward to a repeat of a Richmond like game from last night.

    Irrelevant game unless we lose.

    Had assumed it is a night game. Trade winds up north can be quite strong during the afternoon. Would hate to see a 4.11 score !!

    • 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?
