I hope this isn’t the Last time we play on the MCG this year

Something tells me this might be the case SWYL. I hope the situation in Melb can get better for all the diehards who have shed blood, sweat and tears for this club.

Couple of things can come from this game.

1. Take back top spot and go into next week with more confidence, with 3 on the trot.

2. More touch for our forward half connection. I expect Fritsch to get on the end of a few today. 

3. Oliver's game vis a vis the Coaches Votes/Brownlow.

How about a win!

May out and Smith in.  I wonder how early in the week Smith knew?  Good chance to give May a rest, and to see where Smith fits in.  I reckon Petty steps into the May role, and smith plays more of a hybrid hunt/petty role.  A good chance for all in such glorious conditions.

Today feels like a nothing game. We don't have to win, we just have to beat Geelong to finish 2nd or even top if port goes down the the Dogs. . 

 

doesn't seem to be on ch7 in melb

anyone have any more info (other than fox/kayo)? 

If Joel Smith leaks less than 3 goals, that’s a win. I hope he makes me eat my hat.

Seven are doing the later game. 

No worries about giving Maysie a rest. I'm actually surprised a few other guys weren't "managed".....particularly a couple of the younger guys.

Probably be good for the younger guys to get a good run at the ‘G.

As long as it is just a well earnt rest and nothing more serious because no doubt that without May we cannot win a flag. 

No May and no Tmac. Definitely not confident. 


Good call resting May. We have Cats and first final coming up over a 7-8 day period and he’ll be cherry ripe

AND NO INJURIES PLEASE! 

The over confidence of some on here who just never learn brings on my MFCSS severely.

We have seen over and over this season if you are off your game, you can get rolled easily.

I will take a one point win as long as we don’t cop any injuries. 
Starting to cop a few and it’s a real worry. 

Could be a bit in and out of this game at the start, a friend had a bad accident at work last week and ended up in hospital. We're finally allowed to talk with him on the phone so game on in the background and thread open :)

Don’t understand why Weid didn’t get a run. Right weather and down a couple of key position players.

Other than 'yuk', this has a touch of Shakespeare about it

Think his papers are stamped unfortunately for him.

Comments by supporters on a website have absolutely no bearing on how the team performs.

Which is the main thing.
More important than anything we need to go in with a fit list.

  • 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?
