Think you have forgotten Angus.

Clarrie been our best mid, and that’s where we need to be winning it.

But Gus is having another good game.

Trac needs to play the worker role and let Oliver just run free. Let everyone get a lick of the ice cream Trac, you’ve had yours.

    Desperately need Lever back in. Not just for the intercepts, but to organise and steady things down back. That Stringer goal where he just ran into an open space to mark would never have happened with Lever out there. Smith, Rivers and Hunt ... OK, but they need directing.

    Brayshaw playing well

    Yes been superb.  Just like to see him kick it to the top of the square occasionally coming i50.  A few too many shorties to the pockets.  Just mix it up a bit and keep the defenders guessing etc

    He was better when he was just the small forward. He's now playing up the ground more, where all his energy is just wasted. He's a burst player, and the best place for that is around the goals.

    I though the exact same thing. With lever in the side, that's an easy Lever intercept mark.

    May doesn’t appear to want to be responsible for his man tonight.

    Lead by example Steven.

    I would argue that Smith (despite that one mare) has been our best.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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?
