Genuinely think we're the best side in it so far this year. Port have been hot and cold. the Dogs looked good at stages but haven't been tested and their backline is a real weakness against better sides. and we've beaten Geelong and RIchmond. 

 

 

the ch 7 commentary from the bunker in docklands sounds weirdly subdued today

the way the swans play is really interesting; chip chip chip

if it works it's great but if you can pressure their forward entries they struggle a bit

Surprised with how poor Port are looking

We've been by far the most consistent and solid team thus far. I don;t think we've had a bad quarter yet.

 

A strange year, with erratic performances (up and down) happening week to week.  Sides down 5% get cut up, and few teams have a system that works.  Teams have looked champagne or boiled lollies with little apparent change.  Stands us in good stead with a solid system.  We have seen off several solid efforts (including the two grand finalists) and it seems more than the sugar rush offered up randomly by others.  Defence wins flags.  Not impressed by many others 7 weeks in.  Dees are looking well set up in comparison.

Because GWS need more top 5 picks. Bloody hell!

It’s ok. They keep their feet warm before they move to better clubs.

Dogs were weak as [censored] last night and Port are getting slaughtered as we speak.

Of course we are the best side in the comp.

The umps kick another goal for Geelong.

They’re very good at it. They’ve been doing it for years.

Between the botched salary cap, disastrous trade period,  Eddie standing down, Grundy contract,   their 1-6 start where Buckley has lost the players and the players dont even care about the jumper, losing to Gold Coast at the G'...

The Pies are officially a basket-case.

If only Port had run out in the " prison bar " guernsey,  would have topped off a great week for the pies....


Some “surprise results” this round.

Hope our guys see this as a gentle warning and just go out and smash Norf.

Very concerned that everything is going our way. Usually does not bode well!

Hoping the 2021 demons are the real deal

gawn / jackson v hickey / mclean is going to be good to watch next week, presuming our two get thru fine tomorrow

can't believe that hickey got up from a pcl after 1 week - was meant to be out for 6!

Port don’t like playing Brisvegas 

they often get smashed.

Look like a class of recalcitrant schoolboys sitting down to a reality check homily from the coach post game.

What a shame that the Cats lost. ?

Do you mean the free kick milking cheats ?

Cats absolutely shafted on that last call. I reckon it went 20 at least

was touched apparently...

But how good is it to see them on the wrong side of an umpiring decision. 

 

Clearly holding the ball at the end. Seems karma has ran over the Cats!

Some hubris amongst Demon folk setting in. 
 

the season is very very long

 

we can cover the swans and crows and dogs

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • 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?
