It would be shocking if Port don't come hard. Leaving aside the threat of going down 4 zip, imagine their week living in Adelaide after last week's debacle. If they don't I reckon hinkley is

When a player disposes of the ball to a teammate and try’s to run to link up the next play but is impeded by the opposition player it’s a free plus 50 metre penalty.

Didn't know that - thanks  👍

The. Commentator mentioned  the give and receive or the ol soccer one-two. But I never knew that was actually a rule. 

If we have the ball and I'm about to give it to you but I can't because you're scragged off the ball, what's the point in the free? We already have the ball - hence the 50.

That's the justification - to prevent "professional" free kicks that stop the team with the ball from attacking.

Remember when we used to fight and shut down games and be like “oh my god we are a chance” and then the opposition would kick 5 goals in 4 minutes? 
Good times were had by nobody.

Rd 1 2013 they killed us and set us up for a horror season resulting in the sacking of our coach.

It's about time we returned the favour.

Yes I was there. I remember commenting to my friend at I think it was the 12 minute mark of the first quarter that “ gee have you noticed we haven’t had a possession yet?” And I think by then Wines ( who we didn’t draft against everybody’s thinking) had already kicked 2 goals! Have I got the right game?

I know it’s early in the season but it feels like the change in holding the ball interpretation has made it more inconsistent than previously. And the insufficient intent rule is horrible.

although our forward line has been stagnant, I have been happy with how Sam W has presented and taken marks in the centre of the ground... no different to a BBB role, it's the way it goes sometimes... perhaps a bit of late scoreboard cosmetics for him.

Jackson is on, couple of key marks, backing him for votes by game's end. 

Viney having a great game.

Anyone notice Brayshaw leading pre game speech/rev up?

Discipline is outstanding for a lot of late hits.

Nearest the pin this will be a 12 goal win

Everyone having a go (a couple quiet but need to watch again to look for team actions)

To be fair, that led to Roosy, PJ and subsequently Goody.

They did us a huge favour

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
