Lucky we are still in it.

On a wet night thats a huge margin.

 

 

Serious question. Can pert demand an explanation - behind the scenes to avoid making a scene - about Nichols’ umpiring and request he never umpire our games again

    Warning signs. 

    Umps 11 frees to 4 

    Biased and crowd influence 

    We want to be at least four or five goals in front by the last or they'll do us

    Would love to see Vandenburg really hurt someone. Don’t care if he gets suspended, just ruin bury someone.

    Bonus points if it’s one of the umpires or brain dead husks in the crowd!

    Nat incorrect possession  - ball up in side our 50

    Our contested ball work has really gone to [censored]. 

    If we win this it’ll be against all odds.

    Need to rise above the poor adjudication and just get this done. Back to rushed long bombs inside 50 and handball merry go around, stamp that out and play direct and fast

    That, or just get Salo to drill a bullet into that imposters melon.

    Naitanui take it out of the ruck drops it play on

    Tackled after a mark - Nicholls says not 50 (what a surprise).

     

    Fritta - gooit mark but stupid unaware play on.First genuine free to WCE

     

    Is there a scoring end?  Come on Dees - slipping away

    • 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?
