Feel your pain. We can't go to the G either obviously. Covid is a biatch

Should be a good game in Metricon today though. You can provide a scouting report on the Suns. They've been playing well and will be difficult opponents for us next week

Watching other top 4 teams put away bottom sides vs us struggling go figure

28 points is hardly putting a team away.

We beat the Dogs by 28.


If the news report is correct that Pendlebury has a broken leg that could be the end of a great career.

Amazingly consistent contributor. I suspect he would make a good line coach if he decides to go that way.

why do people assume a good player will make a good coach?

how do you teach someone how to move thru traffic like pendles?

Start of rd I led the work tipping by 4.

I took Pies over Carlton. My best mate said Blues would win and that Pies are tanking. I asked why, you’ve already got Daicos and you just beat the Tigers. His answer was to use less points. I honestly believe they had the better team going into last week yet seemingly went home at 3/4 time.

Took Lions over Tigers, must of been only person not aware it was Reiwoldt’s 300th game. Still after being burnt by tigers four weeks running I jumped off, also thought Lions would have point to prove.

Headed into this week with a 2 point lead.

We have to have our tips in 2 days before first game, so I took Carlton, then McKay pulls out yesterday. I was seriously considering taking North before this but with things so close went back to the North/Hawks/Pies will tank from here on in theory….

Took it each way in a few multis, very interested to see how this plays out.

Just saw 2 players run within a couple of metres of the player with the mark and then a player swung 360 with the ball and then hold it, while he booked an uber and guess what, play on, nothing to see here. I think back to Gawn’s 50 penalty last week, which cost a goal, when he was about 30 metres from the player with the mark and was following his man and the Tracc holding the ball, after a 1 second tackle on him.

I have loved the consistency of umpiring this season.

hopefully Suns can do us a favor here and knock over the Lions

Misses a simple 15 meter set-shot and in the next play goals with the overhead kick. Classic Daniher

It's a long way better than a loss to bottom six sides or a draw against Hawthorn who  have not been able to beat time with a stick. 


Huge round for us.

If we lose and Brisbane and Sydney both win, we'll be 1.5 games safe inside the 8 with 4 to come. Puts our top 4 spot in the most jeopardy it's been for the entire season.

But of course, if we win and Brisbane and Sydney both lose, we'll be 3.5 games safe inside the 8 with 4 to come, which means we'd only have to win one more game for the rest of the season to lock in the top 4.

Still not convinced Carlton have a good list, on this showing they need a lot. And Davies-Uniacke is becoming a serious player.

Carlton are still coming…

Are they tanking to get a bottom pick for Cerra?  Petrevski Seton wanted by Dockers and together with a high pick and something else, might get a deal done.

PS: I know players don’t tank.

Edited by Redleg

There's no way they're tanking.

For one, they're not going to slide lower than one more spot on the ladder. So it's a one pick benefit.

For another, they were still, going into this week, very much in the finals race. If the favourites win this weekend Carlton would, with a win, end up one game out of the 8.

It’s possible. But I doubt it. The Coach is under the sword so i would expect the players to be going hard. 
They are just a very average list that is paid way too much

Doesn’t look good now…

Just a matter of when rather than if. Can't totally blame him in a way, that panel he has looks like a very very weak one, but he's the boss so he pays the cost.

  • 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?
