    Go Dees!

    Haha fantastic work. One of my wife's go to entrée's. Won't be hoping in the pool in north east Vic... Although if we make finals a cannonball may be on the cards much to the kids delight.

    We look great today.

    Dry conditions suit our style of play.

    Bummer those two losses against Freo and Swans We’re in pouring rain and howling winds.

    Opposition who don’t bring intensity & effort suit our style of play.

    Much better 2nd quarter. Oliver kicking the ball now and is 100% efficient, viney not trying to take tacklers on and just getting rid of it, fritta kicked a goal and our backline going ok. 

    Joe Daniher statless

    Mitch Brown looks good leading up  

    Ouch!

    ANB having a cracker. He needs consistency. Do this every week son

    Yes give him credit for good play. That collect when he was going to get hit and then a lovely goal was great. Stick it up me son and become a good player, I would love it. Now keep going for the second half.

    Love watching this - to see us playing with movement, hitting targets, almost everyone contributing.

    But Essendon are dreadful. Neeld-esque. Some of their chasing and defensive efforts are embarrassing. We really can't take too much from this game so far. 

    But I m loving it. Dees thriving. Bombers annihilated.

    brown is the missing link forward so glad he is getting a go at it, the weid go at the ball son

    I wouldn't be getting too excited just yet.

    We should be far more than 28 points up. They are absolutely atrocious. But they are a confidence team and despite their defensive pressure being terrible they're still generating inside 50s and getting some looks. If they get an early goal or two, or worse, if Daniher gets his hands on the ball, we know we can concede goals.

    Fritsch's goal kicking is getting worse.

    Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Langdon, Salem and ANB all playing really well.

    If this is our last game, Hunt, Brown and ANB are giving the club something to think about.

    When Fritta missed the target right n front of goal in the second quarter and the Essendon player ran the ball out just typifies our season to date. 
     

    HOPELESS

    Also fritta cant kick for [censored]. He needs to learn over the off season or learn in the seconds. Pathetic.

    Mitch Brown 13 possessions and 7 marks..  this guy should have been in the team all season, especially ahead of T Mac.

    Good pair of hands.

    So far so good. I can see why people have been whinging about Viney. As soon as he gets the ball we lose it.

    i dont like that hunt is playing a good game coz its so one off and then we'll be asking how he got a new contract again this time next year

    Now just need melbourne to keep on doing what they did in the 2nd quarter. Just bury them. 

    Seriously daniher not worth 2 round draft picks. He was getting beaten by joel smith. 

    Roped the dope.

    Ess, had the impression after the first, that it was all too easy.

    Now to see if ruthlessness is in our game.

    We should go on with it and win the next two quarters.

    Mids working well, the team finding space, great pressure and tackling.

    Liked that we tried a different game plan in the first and then got into our fast style in the second.

    Need to be able to switch it up during the quarter.

    Edited by kev martin

    Had a solid bet on dees over 39.

    I hope they don't showboat from here. Should be 3-4:more goals up as it is.

    Smash them redlegs

    Needs to talk to a psychologist, he is obviously pressuring/stressing, himself into poor kicking. It is a confidence issue.

    Sam Weideman handballing to Jayden Hunt for the certain goal is one of the best things I've seen in recent weeks. Weed hasn't kicked a goal in a long time and didn't need to give it. Much respect.

    • 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?
