Cats will do their usual finals stuff then fall at the final hurdle.  Meanwhile Dees supporters will die a thousand cuts over next two weeks.

So you’ve written us off against port then

    Traccs lack of effort to chase there was deplorable.  One of his worst games tonight.

    This is classic Goodwin Melbourne watch us win 3 of the 4 quarters and lose by 5 goals. It's been his MO since day dot.

    Yeah bit of a throwback for sure. 


    at least we stemmed the bleeding.

    Let's put in a shift for 1 more quarter and get out of here with a 25 point loss and no injuries

    Not looking good but I haven't given this game up yet. Six goals is not out of the question.

    Yeah, what was that about? I actually hope his game gets highlighted in the media this week. He needs a rocket. Sloppy and not doing the team things.

    What to do about Tom McDonald. Not seeing him get up the ground to get involved much makes me suspicious that he is still injured. 

    Shame we didn't give a game to Weideman while he was out for two weeks. I can't see him coming in to replace McDonald but can we carry McDonald in this sort of form?

    Guess melksham is the other option.

    Yes.

    So glad we have not been smashed.

    That lapse in the second was surreal.

    Umps really helped cats but our backline crumbled.

    If we lose by six to eight goals id take it.

    Im worried about tmac. Not sure if we can carry him into a final. It was a bad time to get injured for him.

    Ridiculous comment.

    I want to see us out score them by 3 goals this quarter.

    Good way to highlight we need to fight harder against the big teams when they are on a roll.

     

    This quarter is big for us whether you think it's done or not. If we can run them and win the quarter it's enough of a platform for next week. 

    WE can still win this.

    • 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?
