Freo finishing 4th or 5th last we be a dream but It ain’t happening. They are better than this and will still finish somewhere in 9-12. Still gives us a top 10.

    Suns are already above them, I'm getting greedy now and want Carlton to leap frog Freo in the coming weeks.

    Understand I was confused because I loathe Carlton.

    I don’t know if it’s already been asked, but how the flip did we lose to this basket case!?

    ...just need Sydney & Carlton to run into a bit of form now.

    Then the way Hawthorn have been going is a bottom 3 position for Freo too much to ask for?

    That’s what we can only hope for.

    they don’t have an easy draw: Collingwood, Doggies and Cats all away. You can almost put down 3 losses there. 

    Lions, Bombers and Power at home - would be hard to win more than one of those.

    Blues, Swans, Eagles and Hawks round out the rest , which they’ll probably 3-4. 

    So can’t see them winning more than 4-5 games for the rest of the season for 10-11 wins, which is about 9-12 ladder wise.

    The bye certainly came at the wrong time for the boys from Cockburn.

    GWS would have to be a chance this week but seem unable to string 2 wins together.

    It's always the wrong time for cockburn, bye or no bye.

    It’s premature -  I know.

    So if teams finished as-is. We’d have pick 6, 18, 24, 36 and 90.

    I’d take 18 and 24 to  Cats  (as Suns unlikely to trade ) for Pick 9.

    Take 6,9 to WC for Reid. If they take it, good otherwise we use it on Curtain and Duursma.

    These umps either have money on the saints or Freo to make the 8 cos this is putrid. 
     

    But tigers doing enough to shunt Freo down further!

    Why are the cats giving us a top 10 pick? Slide down 9 places for a pick in the 20s is not a deal I would do if I was them.

    • 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?
