    In summary:

    4 losses at an average of 37 points.

    Injuries to McLean, Neitz, Robbo, TJ, Moloney, Rivers, Green, Wheatley, Jones and Whelan.

    Pathetic and inept performances from the players.

    Pathetic and inept performance from the coach.

    Pathetic and inept performances from the president (thinks Daniher should coach to 2016)

    Pathetic and inept performances from the fans (16,000 to an MCG home game)

    Apart from that the seasons travelling quite well :huh:

    Well 'demondomination', we started playing the Saints in the first match of the season, with David Neitz kicking the first goal of the season. At least we have enjoyed the first 30 minutes with the Dees holding a comfortable 2 goal lead at quarter time. Everything seemed to be going to plan. We seemed to have the opposition under control. After this glorious half hour everything has been turned upside down what with massive injury problems, no confidence and poor form. We will improve but we don't know just when this will occur. Stay in the country , maybe the boys have just missed you.

    In all honesty none of us have any idea what Gardner or the board are saying behind closed doors. Part of his job as President is to provide a united front, and as long as Neale's in the position of Senior Coach, on the outside he'll always (appear to) have the support of the board.

    Do you really think Paul's going to turn around and say "I reckon Neale's doing a shit job and I doubt he'll be the coach in 2008" ?

    Not sure why you're wasting your time, or why I am wasting mine...

    Clearly Gardner should have sacked Daniher on The Footy Show last Thursday. He is a crap president for not having done that already. :rolleyes:

    well lets see whats happened whilst you were away, brad miller cant mark so he got a glove but then when he does mark he seems to think hes playing rugby and handballs to a player behind him. then theres nathan carroll who lets his opponent get way ahead of him when the ball is kicked his way therefore nathan has no chance of even trying getting anywhere near the ball or his opponent who kicks goal after goal. then theres all these stupid hand balls all over the backline which of course leads to the other team getting annoyed therefore getting their hands onto the ball and again kicking goals, and then theres neal daniher who lets the team get away with this crap sort of play, really you havent missed out on much its been like this all season.

    • 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?
