The hyper-fixation on Melbourne's performance at the moment is weird. On Fox Footy they were analysing "defensive breakdowns" of when the Bulldogs kicked goals last week. I mean how else do teams ever kick goals if not for some level of defensive breakdown? We're being picked on now.

Jon Ralph just said that there is some significant good news on Tom McDonald a d there could be a big chance he plays comes finals.

Richo tonight said they were hopeful but it was a long shot. Be interested to hear what Ralph says.

I like it tbh. We're not irrelevant anymore.

 

Five players that need to step up tonight...

Maxy

Spargo

Salem

Weid

Dogga

Every single club other than ours announces every player in the team. I personally don't need it but it not a bad touch I guess.


Prime time… 

Let’s rip them a new one…. 
 

 

How frig'in embarrassing . . . Taylor and Hodge wondering around on the ground talking absolute siiiiite. Hodge walks like he's got a cricket bat up his clacker, and Taylor a goal post. And any chance wardrobe could organise suits that fit?

See Gus warming up in the centre square - fingers crossed.

Playing some midfield time tonight according to Goody and Richo.

I think we can win tonight, and should, but gee I'm nervous, because we really need to signal a turn in form as turn towards finals. If we lose, we could drop to 6th, which will make things a little ugly.

But that's all moot.

We're gonna win tonight, because we're going to come out breathing fire. We have to. We'll want revenge for that game earlier in the year.

Go Dees 🔥

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!


The dockers always love to go backwards to set up their forward counter.  You gotta be right up in their face most of the time to kill that.  No BS full zone defence this week.  Bring that and we're toast

Melky Burnt......but it was a gettable shot.


 

Richo is usually ok but seems to be barracking for the Dockers....Oh for an impartial competent commentary team.

  • 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?
