1.10 is worse then right on Mothers day Lunches

I could think of nothing better to do on mothers than go to the G and watch this one unfold.  

 

I'm not a mother though so what would I know

    We’ve beaten this mob once at the MCG since the 2006 elimination final.

    Saints on an 8 day break should have recovered from their Cairns trip.

    Really hoping we can bank this win as we have some tough fixtures between rounds 11 and 15. Would love to be 10-0 before we face Sydney and Freo at the G.

    We can afford to lose 4 games this year IMO in order to finish top 2. Would rather not use one up today.

    Would you happen to have the breakdown of many times we’ve played them at the G since then? We rolled them last year but that was at Marvel.

    Yeah, we don’t do Mother’s Day at mine. 
    Apparently we do game day…

    Now to work out whose work this is: the hipster uni student or the bedroom-dwelling, PS5-playing teenager. 🤔 

    LOL found these in the bottom of the wrapping. They know I lose/break earbuds on a weekly basis.

    Added a pic of what was almost thrown out with the wrapping paper. 😬

     

    This haven't been tested B/S. The doggies threw everything at us and come up short. As did the Suns Hawk and Tigers. Port is the only team that rolled over.

    Bit too much taking in the media puffing up the Saints. We win this by 27 points.

    They just want a bit of excitement. "Best team wins again" is dull compared to "so-called best team is vulnerable" or "pretenders toppled from top of ladder."

    Wayward Saints seeking salvation. Last seen sliding for a slither of soap in slippery northern slimes. 

    Scraping like seagulls in a slather for seemingly senseless seconds searching for a slim score.

    Media mogul machinations on Mother’s Day may mirror minor minds.

    Determined Demons dastardly dash delusions of disorientated  delinquent delight.

    Saints or sinners saved for slaughter by the last quarter.

    I was more talking about posters in here believing it.

    I don’t have the breakdown handy but I believe St Kilda have won 8 of our last 9 meetings at the G.

    Nervous as all hell.

    (I hated mothers day; something always came 'unstuck' and then it was on....)

    Hope Tom has a great 200th game. Not that you'd know with little fanfare about it.

    But hope we have a good win & we carry him off

    Mothers Day is just the creation of Hallmark and retailers. Surely every day should be considered Mothers Day.

    Expecting to win well.

    At some point we drop a few games during the season.

    Still when look at quality across ground 

    Backs - May Lever Petty Brayshaw Bowey

    Mids - Max Trac Clarry Langdon 

    Forwards - Fritsch Brown

    Running power - ANB Kossie Spargo Sparrow Hunt

    Add system and we look very hard to beat!

    Go Demons!

    • 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?
