It was a season defining game for both sides. Both were to eventually go on to play deep into the finals with divergent outcomes for the two clubs.

    Wasn't sure where to pop this post and my musings on facing Port Adelaide.

    For me, considering we are a month and a half behind most other teams in our preseason (and the body of work that has gone in post the recuperation from the 2021 season proper)...We are tracking magnificently. And then add on our injuries to most of our key defensive first choice personnel, we are tracking even more magnificently.

    The correlation/causation between fewer injuries (and to which personnel) and ladder position is undeniable... and we are bucking the trend.

    Also, for those that bemoan accuracy in front of goal - and not smashing teams a la our finals campaign. (it's really about your self imposed expectations of how the team should go, vs the reality of fronting up week in, week out in elite sport).. I'm just not sure how realistic it is to smash teams weekly...no matter how emotional you get about it.

    We are now a team that can play poorly (from a supporters perspective) and still win...by almost 5 goals - with key first choice pillars at both ends of the ground out. For me, that is the stuff of my Melbourne Demon supporter fantasies!

    Anyway....on to Port... all those things mentioned above (and 2 consecutive 6 day breaks) lead me to be quite accepting of a loss. I would definitely take a 3-1 position at this stage...

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
