    I’m gonna say it now… if we lose to Geelong next week I’m calling time on the year 2021.

    Geelong hold no fears. Expecting a 5 goal + result.

    The Cats had us covered until they started resting their stars at 3/4 time last time we met. It's going to be a huge test. They've definitely improved their side with their changes this week as well. 

    Sounds like our boys had a good first week in the hub, getting some much deserved rest, but it has to be all business from here.

    Ok to all WA demons fans. We implore you to get to Optus next week, drown out the cats fans and get our boys over the line into the big one. Do it for all of us dees fans that are stuck in other states in particular here in Victoria where we cannot move.

    I agree. If that's the best Geelong can dish up we win comfortably.

    Goody cracked a bottle of red at halftime tonight.

    This is rubbish, propaganda driven by Geelong people.

    The only time they "had us covered" was the 20 minute patch in the second quarter where they dominated stoppages and kicked 6 goals.

    If anyone had anyone covered the rest of the game, it was us covering them.

    And they didn't rest anyone. Dangerfield was (allegedly) sick and spent time on the bench in the fourth but that was it.

    Why do people have to minimise our win?

    Did not want to play Geelong again but if we play at our best we will win and win big.

    With the Rat brought in by the Cats, I think Smith will stay in to release Lever.

    I have just watched a pathetic semi final so why is my MFCSS running so hot ?

    Not worried, Geelong were average tonight.

    If we cant beat them comfortably (4-5 goals) then we wont win the flag.

    Are we not forgetting they played with basically their full squad against the Giants who were missing, Toby Greene, Tom Green, Jessie Hogan, Sam Reid, Xavier O’Halloran, Brent Daniels, Nick Shipley and Braydon Preuss.

    Yes my MFCSS is in overdrive right now but having said that the Cats were lucky not to face a fully fit Giants outfit and it’s not surprising they won by 35.

    I'm trying to slap myself out of the feeling that we're going to win this easily and put ourselves in a Grand Final. Surely, surely not?

    Yep, full strength minus Stewart (and Parfitt going down early). Plus had the extra day break, and didn't exactly exert themselves last week whereas GWS played a hugely intense game vs Sydney.

    My MFCSS is also strong right now, but objectively there are plenty of reasons we can/should be confident.

    Definitely a huge worry game for me.

    Last time they didn't have Touhy, Duncan and Rata. 

    Joel Smith will stay now especially Big sav down there. Bowey for me is still the vulnerable one down back. I said Hibbo last week but if Jayden Hunt is ready then I'd bring him to give us some speed out of the back half.

    Our defence and mids have to be really switched on from get go.

    so they'll definitely lose parfitt and bring back...higgins? simpson?

    losing parfitt is massive for their mids as he's starting rotation

    can't see stewart or o'connor being a threat

    they spent a fair bit of timing just bombing it forward with those foursome of talls - hawkins, cameron, ratugolea, rohan - up front but i think that plays right into our hands, particularly if rohan pushes up the ground to use his pace and allows lever to zone off

    • 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?

      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?
