Right now, Joel Smith's performance against Cameron is stacking up pretty well.

this is turning into an entertaining shootout, way better than last nights bore fest

To be fair watching grass grow was also more entertaining than last night’s disgraceful display of football. 

This game is a lot like the Dees/Lions game from last week so far, except the Lions are scoring more in a high-scoring game where Melbourne was able to keep ahead of the highest scoring team last week.

 

Goal umpire calling for a review when you can see what it was watching the TV at home

The Dogs are the laziest side on turnovers. Just do not defend or spread at all. Their game plan falls apart if they aren’t winning clearances comprehensively.

Any direction.

Running one way then back the other doesn’t cancel itself out.

Yes. Sadly changing direction often leads to umpires paying the free even if the total distance travelled isn’t too much.

You clearly see the umpire head down looking at the line not the play. Waste of time for review.

Entertaining game but skills are not the best. Port will be having a good laugh now.

Cameron is a first quarter specialist. 

Small sample size. Getting on top of the Melbourne defence is basically impossible. Let's see what he can do for this quarter and the rest of the game.

I'm torn. As much as I'd like to see Brisbane win I've already exceeded my limit of hearing John Denver for this century. 

Just noted Hawkins and Selwood had 'incidents' looked at by our very special Mike Christian and as usual, they l walked away Scott free....

Umpire 22 doing finals is not ok. I assume coz he’s in Brisbane he will go to Adelaide next week? No time to quarantine in WA?

  • 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?
