That was generally a good first quarter but here's my question: can someone please sort out Charlie Cameron?

    Please put a man on Rich.... he creates top much of their play and reads the ball too well to be left as a spare

    Joel Smith has dead set lost the plot.

    Would it actually hurt him to ****ibg stand next to Cameron!?

    According to the commentators Salem had Cameron for those goals and Smith has been shifted on to him after the third.

    Sort out the defence and we've got this. Commentators saying Salem had to be switched off Cameron

    A jittery first quarter from a few. Hope we settle.......and for Lever to not give up the ball.

    Keep going Dees

    We are in front, showing up the Lions defence. Getting beaten around the stoppages, and groundball in defensive 50 is a huge worry so far. Great to see Bowey step in for last 5 mins at ground level. Cover Cameron, we win.

    Need to start getting on top in clearances. And we need to start controlling the ground ball in defense because when it hits the deck we are all at sea.

    Hibbo in for Smith

    Having one of those moments you know where you ask yourself why why do I put myself through this. 

    all good now. Just needed a minute.

    That was frenetic.

    Gave up some silly goals though.

    I hope Tmac starts to get going. Cant afford him to have another poor game.

    Gee it made a difference when Oliver got going.

    Joel Smith was standing next to him just before the ball was bounced.

    Smith has zero football IQ and it's showing.

    Should have played Hibberd.

    Salem isn’t a lock down defender, so I agree with this.

    Not a chance in hell. Salem is there to make the play not take the best forward. It was Smith who went to him at the first bounce.

    Think Smith is getting blamed for others errors

    • 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?
