Amazing how many media ‘experts’ were talking up a Richmond renaissance in the preseason. Even after we belted them in a practice game, you had Whately carding on about it being like racehorse training and that Richmond were holding back and letting their stable mate show their hand. Complete nonsense 

I haven't watched 360 since all that rubbish Whately and Robbo were foaming on about and that Dusty might be back to his best. It really sounded like they were paid to say it.

    I see Luke Jackson had a good game last week in the the most 'off broadway' of games you could possibly get (GC Suns at Norwood during business hours)

    Let's see how the contested marking beast goes tonight on the biggest stage of all - Friday night footy!

    A loss to the Dogs tonight would be perfect.

    With games coming against Brisbane (gabba), Hawks, Swans (SCG), Geelong and then us they could potentially be 3-8 after 11 rounds and season over.

    Love this death ride.

    It's time for the Western Bulldogs to rocket back up the free-kick ladder. May the umpires miss every one of Libba's throws!

    C'mon doggies!

    Not sure what GC saw in Mac Andrew to draft him so high.

    I wonder if we would have taken him if he got through to our first pick.

    Instead of JVR? Or different draft?

    I think in any draft 'Gonzo'...I must admit to not seeing much of him at all but he looks highly speculative.

    GC have that many picks I guess they can afford that risk but...I don't know.

    I think we would have taken him, and developed him a hell of a lot better than GC ever will.

    He would have spent 2 years at Casey, and learning from Gawn and he would end up a good player.

    GC is the wrong place for him

    We apparently have his brother in our Academy squad.

    Expecting a new rule that bans any brother of a player who was in MFC Academy and is playing at another club, from going to the MFC.

    Sounds legit.

    No doubt that GC is absolutely the worst place for him to develop. I've got no idea how good he's going to be or if he can play but he's got some good tools and raw material to work with. Would have loved him as a Casey project.

    He looked good though. Easily his best game for them.

    How sustainable is it for them to rely on Jackson kicking from 50?

    • 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?
