During the h and a season so many commentators pitted us v cats as the best fwd line in gfc v us the best backline.

Pffff.

In general, it's sad to listen to the commentators (although some - and this is a minority - have a few clues). There seems to be a central tendency amongst the majority of their number to waffle, to forget what they said seconds, minutes, hours and days ago, to present an authoritarian statement or two for cudos, entertainment and self-preservation. In all, a thoughtless process of a redundant calling to appease the masses and ignore the minnows in footballing terms. Geez, I miss Drew Morphett and Tim Lane.

    How important is Ben Brown to our structure. He was immense last night and good to see his goal kicking accuracy improve with the more games he has played with us. 
     

    Bet he is happy he made the move from a wooden spooner team to a gf bound one.

    Mate he’s a fantastic footballer, reads it well attacks it clean hands and has his decision made as before he’s about to dispose of it. Pure class

    He actually appears to be a Salem clone. Solid in the contest, good footy IQ (ie reads the play well and makes good decisions) and is a beautiful user. Some of those passes through the eye of the needle last night were insane.

    I think what Bowey has on Salem is leg speed.

    Our development and coaching (along with recruitment) has been A grade in 2021.

    Tom Sparrow also very good the times he was involved.

    I thought you’d been sent to the Demonland Gulag.

    All the rapscallions from days of yore are coming out of the woodwork. All we need now is @Moonshadowto return and all will be copacetic!

    Yes Col,

    I had to "go away" for a while.

    My eyes are still adjusting to natural light.

    Good to be back in the asylum.

    Going through these threads I could just cry. I can't believe this is real.

    Reports on 774  just now that Nathan Jones is expected to be catching a flight home to be with his pregnant wife. Sad if true as I'd love him to be there, but wish him and his family all the very best. Whether true or not, regardless, thanks Jonesey, sincerely, you've been a light in the darkness and we wouldn't be here without you. ❤️💙

    It was really good not having BT or Brayshaw on the TV commentary last night. I forget the bloke's name that did it last night, but gee I hope he gets the gig for the Granny.

    Jason Bennett. He's a former FOX Footy commentator. He did the VFL on 7 for a while, but I reckon they've realised he's their star. A much better commentator than the majority of them, and when the lead is no nonsense football, it sets the tone for the rest of the commentary team.

    I am hopeful Steven May will be ok with a bit of rest. The "bye" before the AFL Grand Final may actually be a blessing in disguise?

    Have watched the highlights of the game a few times now.

    Max Gawn was unbelievably freakish in the things he did as a ruckman.

    It is definitely a surreal feeling watching a Melbourne team playing so well.

    Anyway, the job's not done yet...

    Was there a footy game on last night. I got a telegram this morning telling me the Dees and Cats were playing in lock out state that cannot be right surely. Can anyone enlighten me please?

    Technically it was only a 39 point win once you subtract the 44 point lead Geelong had in round 23.

    That makes no sense, it's technically a 131  point win, add the 44 points points we came back from + the 4 points we won by then the 83 point win by last night.

    But we would kill for forward line like Geelong according to kingy, they have 3 forwards that kick goals, we have 6

    Joke or not it's still wrong, and not funny because it makes no sense.

    • 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?
