    I’ll take 20 points but we should be 30 points up.

    And not doing enough to get it out.
    Got tackled and layed there.

    A crap quarter. Poor quality game. If we play 1% better we will win by 50-80 points. Would like to win some clearances. 
    Viney is still a liability.

    Hope vanders is ok.

    Good 1st quarter. Spargo probably our best with trac

    He was walking around. Seems ok. Thankfully. He’s actually played well. Hit targets by foot. 
     

    JJ playing the Gus wing and Gus playing more inside?

    JJ looks great in this weather

    He isn't one for the flashy stuff but he rarely makes mistakes.
    Vandenberg might disagree though ?

    Vanders playing well. 

    Viney playing like an absolute crab.

    There’s going to need to be some tough calls later in the year if JV7 doesn’t improve. He’s the complete opposite of a crisp footballer at the moment.

    Plenty to like. Spargo's ball use. Lever and May doing their thing. Vanders has looked great Four great passes.

    Jordon, Rivers and JAcko doing some good things.

    Ben Brown's groundwork is much better than at any time in his career. If he can get his marking right, look out.

    Basically going as I expected so far. Some of the looks they’ve gotten are a bit clean for my liking, but I’ve liked our functioning in the forward fifty. Brown is illustrating again the difference between dropping marks and contesting. 
    Keep it up fellas!

    • 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?
