A joy to read

 

Thx team


Fingers crossed Salem is OK. Crappy tackle when there's 4 mins to go and you're 90 points down.

 

We seem to like bending teams over barrels these days.

Great to watch.

May the strangle hold over Norf continue. 🙏

Just put a pineapple on BB for the Coleman. Paying $21!

Was there any noticeable difference in the umpiring of the holding the ball rule? Alternatively, were players trying to dispose of the ball more quickly because of the supposed "tightening up" of that rule?

Didn't see any difference, other than a few ridiculous holding the balls paid.

That will come down.

I reckon after today it will be in around $10-12 range.

On the claim that Weid might have been played in the ruck in case that Luke Jackson leaves.

No because he needs to get a go away from just being a forward   in one position. And he is quite decent around the ground with good skills marking and handball ing. No one not even BBB or Tmac  can make  a difference to Dogga in the ruck.
Please no reason to  be so half glass empty that is not what is being suggested that Dogga is leaving this season or the next 2 at least. 

I know it's only a practice match but belting North Melbourne is always a fun event.

Hopefully Salem is OK? Otherwise sounds like we got everything we'd have wanted from this match.

How has Tom Sparrow done?

It looked like he had hit the gym regularly in the off season.

He was great. Trimmed down noticeably but still looks wide and strong. Kicked it beautifully and will get more midfield minutes based on today's game

I was confused about the pineapple reference there for a minute.😁

I know a 20s a lobster.

Is a100 a watermelon ?

Worth a punt for sure.

On Brown, I saw a highlight video of Chandler's goal from the middle of the field. Was that Brown sprinting into the goalsquare chasing after it?

If so...seems a far bit faster/more agile than last year?

Yea it was. He looked quick and gave the thumbs up when it went through.

First quarter has been uploaded on Youtube, assume the rest of the game will be up shortly

A few iffy ones, but lots of high tackles paid that looked very dubious and "drawn".  Unfortunately Kayo wasn't doing replays. I would have liked some more looks at many of them.

Whats everyones thoughts on Chandlers game?

I rate the kid but obviously didnt get to see how he played today.

Any thoughts?

BoG for me was Clarry.  Very powerful display.

Most pleasing was Joel Smith.  Not sure if he was beaten once and disposed of the ball very well.  Really starting to use his supreme athletic gifts well.  Even with Petty out, picking our defenders for round 1 will be a nightmare.

Can you elaborate on Joel Smith.?  Iv'e always had my doubts and saw a 30 sec clip of the game where he charged through won the ball then butched it.

Not representative of his game?  Hitting targets?

Chandler was opportunistic , at best.

Kicked 2 goals but was rarely sighted otherwise, though the same could be said for our other small forwards who tended to see more goals sailing over their heads from long distances

  • 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?
