Really interesting watching this. Hard to tell how we are doing because the Saints are seriously struggling. Ross Lyon has a huge task ahead.

Our general game play, positional strengths and all-ground defence is looking good. Hitting targets across the ground looking good. Our choosing and hitting targets who are 25 - 40 metres out continues to be a work in progress. A bit disappointing.

Chandler, Hunter and McVee very, very  impressive. 

Grundy looking rusty. I am really wanting to see JVR, but TMac and Brown doing everything right.

 

Kicking skills.  Will be our most exploited weakness yet again in 2023.

May has 3 weeks to stop [censored] himself under high kicks. That was awful.

The game day thread never fails to disappoint.

Pickett’s ball use has been poor. I get he’s keen to impress but he has to take better options and not try to reinvent the wheel 


Lack of two way running now is costing us. I am giving them a break because it’s 900 degrees.

A few real howlers in the past 3 mins going into half forward from people like Kozzie, Chandler and others.

If you aren’t seeing May drop his head and spill marks when going back with the flight way too often then you aren’t watching close enough 

 

Good to see we changed up our forward entries, we go to left pocket....oh wait 

Ground announcing saying 5Q’s to go. That would mean a full game for the Casey lads

The old 'let's stop playing after we're comfortably ahead' never fails to disappoint! 

Love how Richo said during the week that this was something the boys had been working on to fix over summer. 

Let's see it then ey.

I’ve been sitting comfortably in the shade and I’m finished. 

If the Saints want to wake up and bust a gut now in this heat them all power to them.

In any other conditions I’d agree but it’s [censored] hot.

Saints definitely had the scoring end and we had Oliver at half back, plus a few ordinary turnovers. It’s not all effort 

The commentators keep saying it's 8 periods today, but all the early official info was only 6.  Anyone know whats actually going on?

they changed it yesterday


1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

they changed it yesterday

Because they looked at the forecast and went “we need more heat stroke”

Petracca with a set shot early in the 4th. And he....  nails it.   73-38

 

Kick to hot spot where there was lots of numbers.  ANB had kept his width though.  Ball got out to him who went back to Gus who had drifted forward who dropped it into Trac about 35 out.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • 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?
