Small forwards need to do what they're there for get involved and crumb some goals apart from pressuring

Agree. Missing Oliver. Our bottom 6 are nowhere near last years level. Forward line not functioning. The mental effect of the Jackson and Brayshaw situation. Port now with a real chance of finals. Port now into $2.45 from $3.10 a week ago. I hate to say this, but I think there is a possibility we miss finals altogether

Wow that's some proper doom and gloom! MFCSS has got you good!

Play like we did against the lions we win, even without Clarry. Produce a performance similar to last week then we lose.

im just not sure which dees will turn up today.

 

 

God help us if a tall goes down, we have zero back up

Just back in Bangkok after a very pleasant week in Chiang Mai - lovely place.

I have accepted an invitation from @Sir Why You Little  to again view the game from his "respectable saloon" in Nana. I have some reservations in this as my last visit resulted in 2 or 3 days being erased from my my memory........ ah well.

To the game. What can said but we simply must win to keep clear of the logjam that is forming at the top of the ladder. I reckon Trac and Jack will set the tone but I also hope to see some centre bounce breakaway from Kossie.

Max to kick 3.

Dees comfortably in the end.

Bit of a different pre game for me this week as I am away from Homebase. 

Spending the weekend in the Champagne area in a luxury hotel in the hills above Epernay to celebrate my birthday. Champagne tasting and buying, Michelin starred eating, spa treatments etc. I will be watching live with a hangover.

Dees in The Alice by 6 goals.

First time I have started a GAMEDAY thread. Hope I have not stood on any toes. 

CHF, love that region and can't wait to get back again. There used to be a restaurant called the 'The Caves' in town that was an excellent experience in quality country french cuisine.

The pub in the town square was great after 9pm as well. Let's hope you get to celebrate a win and prolong the hangover!!

Shouldn’t be hard to spot you then. 😁

I’ll buy you a 🍺!

*goes home stone penniless broke having bought every single bloke wearing a Demons scarf a beer*

Possibly also wearing a Demons cap, and a Katmandu puffer jacket.

Further identification assistance ...  I'll be the oldest person there ... by a fair margin!!

Different for me this week too, CHF. I’ve left France and I’ll be watching in Kuching, East Malaysia.

Go Demons!

Port are in better form than us obviously, so they should start favorites IMO. Our mids need to ramp up the pressure this week and lower the eyes going inside 50. If we can withstand their pressure and do that, then we’ll win. If not then it’s going to be tough and top four looks less likely.

Their form is only marginally better than ours.

They're 3-2 since their bye, we're 2-1. Their wins were against Sydney, Gold Coast and GWS. Ours were against Brisbane and Adelaide. Importantly, all three of their wins were at the Adelaide Oval, too.

Lucky the game is not at the MCG. Given the weather we would lose about $100k with maybe 15,000 in attendance. 

 

Kozzi and Bedford are gonna rip it up at the Alice!

Dry day, the classy players will dominate

Wow, I thought Old Dee was a downer. 😜

Did you see us last week?

this week subtract Clarry and Petty 

Edited by old dee


Even after the Oliver out on Thursday night team selection I was relatively still confident.  But then having thought it through deeper I reckon the loss of Petty is significant. 

MFCSS kicking in for me and now not so confident..

Geez you lot jump off quick. Grow a backbone FFS. Win today and we are equal first a game clear of 3rd. Win by a lot and we could pinch top spot back. Sydney did us a huge favour last night, up to us to take advantage of it. Our only losses this year have been to sides sitting 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th. Port are not a very good side and missing a ruckman. Looking for Max to have a day out and Viney to step up in Oliver's absence. Despite our loss last week Petracca has been back to some of his best hitting the scoreboard with 3 goals in consecutive weeks. On a dry track I expect Kozzie, Bedford, ANB and Spargo to bring the manic pressure we were renowned for last year.

Demons by 24+

Wow, what a bunch of sad sacks. Does anyone recall that we are the reigning premiers and second on the ladder? And as far as I can tell, the game against Geelong was the only game where our brand wasn’t on show for a fair whack of the game this year.

Its\'s a new wave of MFCSS

Demons to relish a dry track.  Thinking they will be relaxed, focused and ready to show Port that they are not close to a top 4 team.

We find connection forward and score over 120.   Port will be lucky to get half that.  Really confident today for some reason! Go Demons!!!

You mean ‘opposition supporters’ as he watches from the stands?

Is he playing?

Well surely the players do see the ladder & how close it is at the top.

If the players are hungry for a top 2 spot they will win today.

Lets take our top spot back

  • 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?
