    So far we have seen Gawn and Grundy sharing ruck duties.

    Oliver, Viney, Pickett, Harmes, Sparrow and Petracca have all rotated at centre bounce.

    Petracca is impressive.

    Hunter is a great addition. Owning that wing spot that we have struggled to fill for years now.

    Dominating play but hitting up leading forwards is still very poor.

    Can’t see anything at ground level. Can’t wait for nosebleed seats at the G with a balmy 2 degree southerly in my face. 
     

    Look to have a few turnovers this quarter and no signs of the quick play on through the corridor that we were hoping for.

    I have have seen enough to ink Hunter for round 1 and pencil McVee for round 1 as well. Whilst they have both had their moments I really dont like a forwardline with both TMac and Brown and we do still scream for a crumber at the spill when Koz not there. Our clear want to move forward with short quick kicks and also our spinning of more players through the midfield are positives. Granted neither Harmes or Sparrow have really made the most of the time.

    Anyone?

    I didn’t get the email from Kayo to activate the voucher. I assume you didn’t either. I had to ring the membership and they fwd to me.

    I’m going to give benefit of the doubt and put it down to the unpredictable conditions. Our ball movement has been pretty good. 

    We’re dominating play and are not getting a fair run from the umps. 

    They’ve missed some howlers and given them some really soft ones that haven’t been reciprocated at the other end.

    View from the top of the stand is excellent if you can find room

    Just getting the early rust out of the system.

    If we can still clean up our forward 50 entries then we'll be fine this year.

    Not sure about Spargo’s headband. Looks like Phil Lesh from The Grateful Dead.

    Kayo extended highlights during the breaks are bloody annoying. Put a commercial on FFS.

    Was just thinking that

    I’m really looking forward to seeing JVR. Surely old knee Brown and old foot McDonald are done. 

    Compression bandage on J Adams knee. Walking around just fine on the ground. 
     

    More Casey guys so 18 warming up for the next game so far. Haven’t seen Verrell or Schache.

    Have to think JVR and Jj get a run soon in the main stuff

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • 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?
