There’s more than one giant head, Jontee. 😁❤️💙

 

With all the pontification about a 100 point drubbing - forgetting Naarm are playing an AFL side - has anyone thrown their play station controller and rage quit yet?

    Great show. Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

    What was Goodwin thinking sending May to Goldstein ?

    This game, like this ground, is trash. 
    Let’s get the 4 points, avoid injuries and move the hell on to bigger and more important things. 

    How did you gain access to Goody's whiteboard notes?

    Who's injured and are they serious?

    But we're not 10,000 points up at quarter time against the bottom side! Lazy players don't care! Waaaa!

    Ignoring the fact that a team with nothing to lose are always going to give their absolute all. We don't need to smash them in the first quarter.

    Yep. If I was a North supporter I’d be happy with that quarter. They put in. I said it last week that there are no bad teams, only teams that can’t sustain effort and North are one of them. There’s still plenty of time for the lapse to come and for us to skip away.

    Q1.  
    Nth bringing pressure and effort. 
    Dees not quite on point. 
    Fritsch tackle was great stuff. 
    Evens in clearances. 
    Dees goalkicking is not quite as sharp as it needs to be.

    More of an xbox guy


    As much as we talk about poor forward connection, that was perfect forward connection between Brown and Rivers.

    Brown led back to the square gesturing to Rivers where he wanted it (20 out on the far pocket, a hard kick but Rivers can get there). He then led to where he wanted it, and Rivers put it there. Brown grabbed the mark as it was put to his advantage.

    Too bad about the kick for goal from Brown, but that was forward 50 gold.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
