Great quarter Melbourne. I'm so proud right now of the effort so far

    Poor Maysy…. 😭

     

    That was exactly the first quarter we needed. May's injury is certainly frustrating but I'm confident that Petty can restrict Hawkins if he stays on him for the rest of the game.

    Keep it up boys. Game will be over at half time if we can. 
     

    Sub May out now. Not worth the risk if he can come back in 2 weeks.

    So is may hammy confirmed

    My take, he is either gone for more than 2, or it ain’t too bad, just needs a bit of good stretching like when I semi did mine (felt like an electric shock, but wasn’t too bad, then stretched it out and was ok).

    No way if it was touch and go would we risk him further in the game. Him running is a good sign

    Qtr time update from the ground:

    Top of Optus Stadium lit up in blue and red, maybe because officially the home team? Whatever the reason, loving it.

    Geez love the confidence.  

    Hawk/Cameron could catch fire. Try him on one leg if you need to in my view. 


    As long as Geelong don't kick 9 in a row we should be able to hold on from here in the worst case. This is a game winning lead at quarter time.

    Would be gutted if we make the Grand Final and May can't play in it.

    Dawn kicked a goal after the siren . . . Dawn won the coin toss.

    It didn't feel like the 1st quarter of Prelim, more like the 5th quarter of Rd 23, didn't it?

    • 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?
