Agree, another balls up of an opening game. 

On ya “ Gill “

Weelll! At least the footy’s back on. That’s something. Young worth watching.

 

The only thing missing from this game is Phil Gibbs and Ted Henry on commentary.

And it's just gone 8:30 - what's on SBS?

The ads are nearly as bad as the commentary. 

FMD, how many betting ads are there these days? Disgraceful

Go back 3 years and Dusty would have torn this game to shreds. He is starting to warm up, but looks 4 or 5 games away from doing what he can do.

Both midfields look so pedestrian and workman like, but with no excellence, or burst away player. 

I am a huge fan of Charlie Curnow, but he is playing a very Sam Weideman ish game - getting to everything but not completing a mark, or a play. 

Cotchin is shot. 

Shai Bolton - yes please. 

Yeah great call about Dusty.

The pressure isn’t off the charts and like you said, 3 years ago he would probably have 2 goals and 3 goal assists by now and Richmond is up by 30.

 

Blues still in the sheds it seems

He could still explode this year but I’ve always felt Curnow is very inconsistent. 
 

He has the potential to dominate but it feels like he goes missing for 2 games at a time then explodes and kicks 5.

If it’s not ‘his day’, he’s a middle of the road forward. 
 

As much as I hate to say, when Hawkins has a terrible day, he’ll still be involved in at least 2-3 goals.

Prestia is killing it. Unfortunately he us dishing it off to Taranto who can't kick.

He must’ve heard you, Dub

Maybe we should have a game day thread for all the games lol

Tigers defence non existent 


Carlton has defended well. Something very familiar about their defensive structure...

 

How has no one fixed McKay's ridiculous kicking style yet?

  • 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?
