Clarry best for us by a mile

    This is why Oliver is a star. When the pressure is on Oliver gets going. He is a freak.

    Oliver big goal, he’s been easily our best this quarter.

    It'll be our fitness vs the home town advantage in the last...

    Oliver is kicking goals. My goodness.

    I guess this game was always going to be tough with thirty 1000 crazy booing crows nuts.

    Sam w may be making way for bbb i think.

    ANB having a shocker.

    When Trac burst through the centre he should put it to the forwards. That handball to Clarrie was a horrible option. If he didn’t like any option coming at him have a shot, he was in range,

    Kozzie should take as many of the kick in marks as possible.  We've given them far too much acreage off that kick in far too often for most if this match

    It’s going to go either way. Unless at least 5 of our players who have put in shockers lift then it’s going to be one long struggle.

    Clarry a gun

    Well we’re being put under the pump, now we see what the players are made of.

    Hunt is showing the lack of composure that got him dropped over the past 2 years. 

    he needs to do better or can’t be risked down back

    when you are playing poorly, do the simple things


    We are very very lucky to have Oliver. He is keeping us in this contest. 
    Need more from McDonald and Trac if we are going to win this.

    Sloppy ball handling, fumbling, luck of the bounce going the other way ... and we're still in front. Now for the final quarter fitness advantage.

    We got on top in that quarter after a very shaky start. Olly Trac and Dogga to the fore. Our fitness will be a big factor in the last. I think we will close it out from here

    What?

    Every time we play a lowly team near the bottom of the ladder we play to their standards!?

    Agree. Also if there is a spoil up the ground it can rebound quickly to him one out.

    • 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?

      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?
