Did anyone else notice that Brayshaw let this slip in the post match interview? Seems like its almost a done deal…

Yeah I did but thought it was just a slip up until the news today

    To be fair, we will comfortably account for the dogs if the current pattern continues.

    We are so bloody schizophrenic.

    More like bipolar, up and then down.

    Schizophrenia is living in delusional states, creating non realities. Which, is not true, we are a good side and have proven our credentials with some great wins.  We have not imagined them.

    Reality is, we are a hard side to beat.

    Though, our problems are in our head, we need mental strength and agility

    Well that sucks. I have been hanging to watch the dogs game, especially after missing the earlier game. We’ll still be lockdown next weekend I’d say

    PD's (personality disorders), are a degree of associated problems, we all exhibit some behaviour of each. So it comes down to how dysfunctional we are, not the behaviour.  

    I would suggest OCD (obsessive, compulsive disorder), is a more likely diagnosis within this threads topic and Demonlanders.  

    Look how we get thrown out by change to the schedule and our weekly rituals during the season for our march to the grail.

    Switching round 19 and 20 games still has a few border closure and exemption issues. 

    Just let us play GCS next week in Qld!!  If Brisb can come and go to Melb to play the Hawks next week then we can come and go to Qld to play GCS. 

    Have a horrible feeling the AFL is hell bent on us playing in Darwin.

    I don't get why we have to move games around? Just play them where they can be played, we will end up being screwed having to travel to Darwin then Perth in consecutive weeks ?

    I think we might be in for a beating, worse luck.

    I don’t understand this thinking. So if we played them in two weeks we could beat them but playing them next week means we lose? We aren’t carrying significant injuries. Nothing will be different next week to the week after, except for perhaps a small-ish crowd.

    Well, if they do play this week, and limit the crowd to 25,000 then 80% need to be Dees fans, as it is our home game!

    You'd hope that next season the mathematical genius who develops the AFL Fixture might let each team play each other once before any repeat games are scheduled.  That way, if the season needs to be shortened it can be done fairly.  I've never understood why we play some sides twice before we complete a match against all sides.

    They will tackle and hunt us like no tomorrow. 

    Our ball movement will be a thing of beauty.

    Our ability to get the ball will hurt anyone in the way.

    Fight, get it and control it.

    They will chase us all day.

    Did we have a VFL match this weekend?

    no... cancelled unfortunately

    Ironically Sydney and GWS seconds played yesterday and 3 from each team had to go around again today due to the covid exposures at the rugby.

    I believe there was a practice game with a few Victorian clubs and we were involved as well. Not sure who played.

    I just hope the boys come to Perf to play and smash the Eagles.

    My only game I can attend all year.

    I hope, however unlikely, that the AFL put some thought into our finishing with three away games in a row, with two of those on opposite sides of the country. I’m happy to play the teams, a rethink of the venues is warranted.

    I will eat my hat if we are allowed crowds at games in Victoria in the next 2-3 weeks. Given the spread at the MCG the argument to allow crowds becomes ever harder to make while we still have cases and while NSW is still a clusterfudge.

    • 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?
