Danger is really if OBrien dominates the ruck.  I was expecting a 7-8 goal win but with Weid and Mitch Brown in the ruck (god help us), I’ll settle for a win.

    I just want to see high energy levels and good work ethic from Weed and Mitch Brown today

    If we win, we're definitely in the premiership window, and if we don't we don't deserve to be...*

    And if it does go our way the post match entertainment is only a few steps away too 😉

    Yes, most certainly. Very easy to celebrate in this town. 
    “Lady Drinks” can add up very quickly so you need to keep a close eye on the reciepts!!

    The only thing that concerns me is the inside info Burgess has on our player stengths/weakeness, game structures etc. 

    Crows will be all out to get a fast start.  We will need to be alert early for new tactics, after all they surprised us with a winning game plan last year, without Burgess. 

    If we can get the fast start, kick straight and take the crowd noise out we will be well on our way.

    Had hoped this would be a % booster and we win by the 6-8 goals.  Now thinking a win of 3-4 goals, even without a recognised ruckman.  A game to bank the 4 points and move on.

    Yep, I'm happy to keep our percentage as healthy as it is and bank the 4 points.

    Where is everyone else going to watch the match? If anywhere. I'm going to the Sporting Globe in Richmond.

    I’ll be watching in a beautiful hilltop town called Belvès, in the Dordogne, France. Go Demons!

    Oh, I’m sure I’ll see the game. The question is… from where? Front row on flogger/Giant Fritta head duty, or from the local lockup (D & D). I’m loud and proud as it is. + alcohol = “security!”

    😁

    I’ll be watching at Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club. It hasn’t stopped raining since we arrived and it’s bloody freezing as well. GO DEES!

    I'll be hoping it's front row.

    AFL web site is useless. No late changes so Jackson is playing. 

    Twitter Fox Footy is saying Jackson replaced by M Brown

     

    Sholl and Tomlinson are the medi subs

    Melbourne Instagram confirmed no Jackson. Brown in and Tomlinson sub.

    I’d have that in reverse given Mitch Browns last 2 games. But I hope he shows more intensity today or at least some intensity!!

    • 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?
