Much as it pains me to say it, I think the Cats will win it this year.

    West Coast playing better than us from what I have seen, not hard mind you.

    12 hours ago, leave it to deever said:

    I thought he turned it all around against cars h and a game and prelim and seemed to love kicking them...almost skipping after giving high 5s.

    Gone back to his old poor  self of set shots. 

    If he is accurate it makes a huge difference

     

    I wouldn't want him kicking after the siren for a win.

     

    Other than that I feel bad for the criticism of the big guy who bleeds red and blue.

    Not sure if you were on the turps when you wrote this Deever, but I think big Maxy did just fine kicking for goal after the siren Rd 23 last year and setup our magnificent premiership drought breaker.

    I don't want to critise him either.  He's MFC royalty as far as I'm concerned, but I'd really love it if he can find his goal kicking radar again and help us smash the Cats in a prelim on the way to a flag at the spiritual home of the MFC at the MCG!

    I absolutely despise Collingwood, particularly after beating us twice, however is it actually better for us if they beat Sydney today?

    If we beat Brisbane and Collingwood win twice then I think we’d play the Pies (2nd v 3rd) at the G in week 1. I’d like to think the boys have learnt a few lesson from our two encounters against them.

    Conversely, if Sydney beat Collingwood and St Kilda  they probably get us on percentage which would mean a trip to Sydney week 1 assuming we beat Lions.

    Really torn on what’s the better outcome for today.

    (Ofcourse all of the above will mean nothing if we lose next week)

    One thing I know for sure BBP, I'm not wasting one ounce of stress on this game. Swans win means Pies lose, Pies win then we may get the scenario you mentioned.

    If I may for a moment on St Kilda, I think it's time they do a partial re-build. They're in the dead zone which is frankly the stink zone. So much money tied up in average players and no proper direction. Their football looked great early in the season when they took the game on and used pace, they now look one paced and boring. Have someone sit on Jack Sinclair and there goes the rebound 50 attacks. Extremely disappointing.

    Seeing Ben Cunnington and Sam Docherty do what they did today makes you feel things are pretty good in the world.

    Are we better off if Collingwood beat Sydney? 1 and 2 almost locked and both Melbourne teams

    Or do we prefer Sydney win a close game?

    Can't see either losing Rd23, reckon Carlton will be spent and StKilda won't help us

    Almost irrelevant if we lose, unless Freo and Sydney lose last Rd

    If we win, it's difference between Coll or Syd at the G in FW1

    How good would a draw be? Just getting it in now on the 1 in a million chance I can look like a genius later.

    Good to see Essendon get the 4:40 slot. I don't think I've heard anyone mention them at all this week.

    Hope port thrash them

    Wouldn’t mind getting the Pies at the G if they’re still unbeaten

    Can't see a result that favours us greatly but for the purpose of keeping top 2 possible....Go Swans

    Eagles fading in last night's game against Freo did us no favours

    • 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?
