Worst case scenario we are in the eight after the first round.

Might have gone to early.

    Carlton have been building a very good list with a lot of talent

    After 39 years being rubbish, you’d hope so

    Nice that 1 in 100 predictions can come correct

    Nope we have three points on them. Would hate them to have been higher even for only one week.

    Provided Carlton don’t play Essendon next week, I will be hoping they lose something shocking. I really don’t won’t to see them gain too much confidence and seeing and hearing their supporters tonight just reminds me how much I hate them.

    Well that was interesting.  Carlton are clearly still lacking in some class and execution under pressure, but their workrate and contested work was first class.  They were the width of a post away from blowing that game right out. 

    Also, good on their fans for singing the song like that when they won.  First time in a decade they've won in round one and they deserve to celebrate it. 

    One thing for sure - they won't get 28 frees to 20 next week - they play the Bulldogs.

    Dustin Martin looks cooked. Down rated to good ordinary player.  Richmond can’t play tempo footy.

    • 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?
