Thanks for that. Fingers crossed May is ok. Hawkins has form with 'accidental' elbows, so I'd definitely be on reckless side of fence 

 

Accidental elbows.

How convenient.

Slow mo looks like his forearm smacked his face in the tackle as he was trying to get rid of the ball. Maybe accidental, but gees Hawkins has form. 
May looked horrible going off. Hopefully it’s not a break.

Yep, you don't need to convince me. Still game day so I've still got my Red and Blue goggles on. Hang him!!

    Umps disgusting in that term.

    I love the pressure that we are applying.

    Still room to improve from several of the boys.

    Poor Maysie.  Looking at the way his eye blew up, unfortunately it's looking like a potential fracture.  Hope I'm wrong.

    Petty can step in and do the job. Has been in super form down at Casey.

    My fingers are like icicles, so not going to try and navigate my way back through thread. 

    Can someone with benefit of replays tell me what happened to May? His contest with Hawkins was right in front of me, but it looked pretty innocuous until he didn't get up 

    Mays elbows suddenly beame possessed your honor.

    He through one up as he was turning and caught poor May in the eye.

    Lots of blood and May looked dizzy.

    Not good.

    Take the red and blue glasses off I have watched the Hawkins hit 10 times now, it was an accident 100% may contributed by pulling Hawkins towards him

    Depends on whether the tribunal is adjudicating based on intent or result this week.

    should get a tap on the shoulder based on form and how the reckless action resulted in a busted eye socket... or the commentary team will write the conversation as an accident and move on.

    more likely the latter than former sadly. I hope he’s just a little groggy and dazed for a week instead of becoming another 426

    Dermie was quick to say it was an accident just prove it was deliberate. Selwood is without doubt my most hate opposition player. Yes Brayshaw was a little late but Selwood would do Laurence Olivier pround. Then he has the gall to whinge. Pathetic

    One of the most disgraceful umpiring performances ive seen in that 5 minute period in the 2nd.  We should have been running it up the field for a shot at goal instead he calls holding the man when it should've clearly been holding the ball. 

    Two holding the balls that were 50/50 against us in our forward line against Frittata & Sparrow yet the Cats don't get called for similar and then get a reverse call instead.  Faaark off Umps!

    It was actually a free to Jetta against Menegola but Jetta then slung him. Reversed free. Then Gus bumped Selduck after he disposed.

    I’ve only seen drips and drabs but despite inaccurate in front of goal best footy we have played all year?

    It’s such a strange game as it lols like we’re playing an under 16s side at times, we’re doing so easy, but as always we can’t get it into fwd 50 enough. Finally towards the end of the qrt we did convert.

    Anyone see what Selwood said briefly to Kossie as they were coming off??

    Typical Selwood having a sook at the umps coming off.

    Lower you head some more, scumbag.

    Nibbler and Jordy fire up fellas


    A few of passengers, Jordan, Sparrow, Jones, ANB and Melksham. 

    Get involved, do some magic.

    Wish we could hold simpler marks and kick set shots.

    Playing well otherwise, good game plan. Good running and breaking lines, swarming attack and defence. 

    Keep at it Dees.

    Viney WTF have a shot mate

    • 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?
