I've been impressed with Dunstan's ability to find handball targets under pressure.

     Haymes special this week, all the points. Better off happening now and not in a final.

    Too many selfish shots on goal

    It’s (selfishness) starting to creep back in. I think the lads were a tad happy with themselves coming into this game.

    Jeez Weideman would want to do something decent in the last.

    Surely he doesn't have many goat photos left?

    I've been watching closely and his half hearted leads are doing him no favours

    Not sure you can blame Weid with the ball coming in. It's been atrocious. And he still has two and has competed strongly in the air. 

    Smith a liability defensively. No time for him whatsoever. 

    Has Weid taken a mark?

    This game should be well and truly over by now. 

    Should have been done and dusted at half time.

    Our second quarters continue to be NQR so far but i blame most of that on our play forward of center and lack of poise / forward craft coming inside 50 and inside 50 itself.

    I am waiting for someone to say he's got 2 goals so he's one of our best

    2 straight. He’s an outlier tonight.

    He's kicked more than BBB at this point and everything into the forward line has been terrible.

    Give him a break!

    Melbourne just have so much more run than Richmond late in the game. 
    I am convinced that our game plan is to accelerate our work rate gradually throughout the game.

    • 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.

      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?
