It’s as if we weren’t playing that q for the umpires. They missed everything going out way. Port can’t keep that up all game. Should break open if we can maintain our structures.

    That is one of the worst quarters I’ve seen of AFL. We’ve got the game on our terms, though didn’t have a great amount of rebound. This is going to be a slog. 

    Completely agree. That's half an hour of my life I'm never getting back. 

    The upside is that the next three quarters can't possibly be as dull as that...

    Played on our terms but a pretty bog ordinary game of footy so far.

    Hunt is playing a ripper and it’s nice to see Maxy clunking a few

    We kept them goalless but again we missed opportunities. 

    Trac you are great but when you mark inside 50 don't turn your back, McDonald was on his own in the goal square and you ignored him. 

    Here's hoping for a good 2nd quarter. Take your chances. We are dominating, just not on the scoreboard.

    We could be better. Where we are positioning our shots in the forward fifty needs more polish.


    Port's intensity and pressure has been great but I really can't help but think we're letting them run at us a bit.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more bizarre display of umpiring in my life! Perhaps they are looking through the channel 7 camera which is filming the game from the other side of the river

    Poor kids. What did they do to deserve that?

    Hunt's defensive acts are good but his disposal is awful.

    Jordon has been great.

    Get ruthless in front of goals and we'll be right...

    So I was worried about how Lever would come back, as he has not always been great 1st match back from a spell but I think he looks good so that is promising. Weid dropped a sitter am praying very hard for him. Our system down back look solid. Max is on fire with marking, best game this year. I have a feeling Viney is quite angry and is going to eat someone.

    • 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?
