Well, folks, it's nearly game time. Best wishes to all. Suicide is not an option, whatever the outcome. The key to Demon success tonight is: mongrel, attitude, opportunity, heartlessness, execution skills, 2-way running and outside support. Carna Dees.

 

And kicking for goal at a normal level of accuracy

    Now convinced you aren’t a Melbourne supporter.

    Save yourself some grief. Block is a good option.

     

    It’s not about Brown, it’s about how the forward line in it’s entirety work together. I don’t care if he kicks none as long as he looks damaging and creates options.

    I can't wait for the Ben Brown 5 possessions game only to have people roll out the 'he brought the ball to ground' bullish!t. which is code for doing nothing but drop marks.

    I cant wait for you to be wrong.

    Dees go bang tonight.

    port have targeted Max last times we played look for a massive response from all.

    Very confident

     

    Well, that day took forever.

    I'm mildly freaking out.  Good times. 

    Final thought before the game; in the three games Ben Brown played earlier this season, both Fritsch and McDonald kicked more than a goal-a-game better than in games without Ben Brown.

    I just remembered how much I hate Port supporters.

    I say this a lot but I think I really mean it tonight.

    I have never wanted to win a game as much as this.

    And I hope that maggot from tge Crows game isnt around.

    And please let us win the first qrt.


    I still feel sick. 
    Sick, but confident ❤️?

    GO GET ‘EM DEES !!!

    Little bit nervous but I think we have a much stronger team on paper.

    No excuses, want a start similar to that against the Dogs.

    Get ready for a 1st QTR blitz (in our favour)!

    I'm v̶e̶r̶y̶ m̶o̶s̶t̶l̶y̶ kind of confident.

    (I was a little worried about this game and probably still am but we have to have faith in these new Dees. There will be bumps along the way, but geez we've come a long way already). We're getting there, and tonight we'll expose another pretender.

    Go Dees!


    I am still not sold on Thursday night footy but apparently my better half likes the idea of Melbourne playing on Thursday nights because if we lose she won’t have to put up with me for the better part of a day. 
     

    I hope we bring pressure, pressure and more pressure and kick straight. 

    This pre game is so [censored] lame. I’ll never be convinced otherwise.

    Umps have started 


    Not sure what the latest health advice but to those dees fans in the crowd remember. Don't touch the football

     

    Already with the dodgy frees

    • 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?
