Death, taxes and a Luke Darcy comment when a team is 3 goals up “next goal becomes super important”

    As well as Carlton are playing, Cats 17 scoring shots to Blues 8. Blues half forwards being murdered.

    im watching the Freo match and heart rate decreasing

    No ... that's quite normal.

    However I'm sure you don't hate them as much as me.

    When we speak of learnings i hope our club has learned not to stand the line when marking an OOTF.

    The Doggies clever.  Started using the outside 5 rule to protect the inside play on or kick from this situation a fair while back.

    Cats & the Blues have now learnt and are also doing this tonight.

    As of last week we were still standing the line.

    You know the thing about the cats, they never seem to overuse the handball, it's generally one or two followed by a kick. Even when we're playing well, we just seem to overdo it, and that issue has plagued us since Neeld. There have obviously been games that are the exception but too few and far between.

    You have to applaud the Cats. As much as i hate to say it, they are the real deal and will be a difficult proposition in Sept. 

    Pressure has been through the roof and the Bkues look gassed.

    Scoreboard flatters the Blues. Their defensive ability across the whole ground is not there yet. They’re zero chance of winning the premiership this year due to that, but will be a serious contender in the coming years.

    Both Freo and Sydney are serious contenders. Freo for mine are ready to swoop on the flag. They’re probably the best defensive team going at the moment, and defense is what wins premierships.

    Haha, if you need therapy we probably all do. I feel ill just thinking about them winning the flag. I'd take anyone above them atm.

    yep. It’s hard to say isnt it, but  right now they’re the flag favorites. Gonna take a lot of beating to get past them now.

    The only thing would be whether they have peaked a bit too early..

    Yeh very strong allover the field the [censored].  Hard to find a weak area.  Maybe the ruck but usually that isnt a huge factor.  Certainly well organised, maintain their structure and strong over the ball.

    They attack the ball carrier straight away ...no hesitation at all.  The opp is always under frontal pressure.

    Freo might be a team to counter this frontal pressure as they prefer to fold back and then counter vs the attacking forward style of the Blues.  Where do we sit here i wonder?

    Cats are the most efficient team in the league atm. 18 scoring shots from 36 entries

    [censored] I hate them

    Our defense isnt to bad either

    What a pity Carlton are losing.  If they had won. 7 sides on 48. At this moment. Quite close. Really

    • 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?

      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?
