With inclement weather it could be a night out for our smalls in who are all in good touch.

Always had a soft spot for the Tigers. That is of course until they started dominating.  Same with Footscray.  Always liked an underdog. It's sad success brings out my contempt for clubs but that's footy.

Whoops didn't mean to quote myself.  But since Im here, why cant I give my post a like?

    Any concerns?

    Depends where your app suggests it's going to rain. I'm in Melbourne and I've just washed my hair. So maybe.....

    I like how you're able to see that hate is unhealthy.  Many people are unable to get that stage.

    Hate is such a strong word …….
    It was obligatory to hate Pies as a Melbourne supporter in years gone, the two just went together and that DNA never goes away.

    Hate Blues because they are Carlton.

    Hate Dons since 2000 and their no responsibility drug saga enhanced it.

    Hate Cats because of the unfair advantage they get.

    The hate is unhealthy but the schadenfreude of watching those  teams lose was the only salve during the Dee Dark Days.

     

     

    Excellent hate summation.

    Boomers and their obsession with syntax, grammar, accuracy and factual information!

    And we're all the better for it. Mind you, I've just started a sentence with a conjunction which is another no-no, so there is still room for improvement.

    You've probably now informed younger readers what at least one conjunction is.   But I doubt they'll remember.

    But LDC ....... it's just a convention..... so don't worry over it!

    And, don't let the grammar nazis tell you any different!

    3- Assume Draper and Phillips to physically go at Grundy to wear him down.  Tmcd could be used to support. This could be a weakness as exposed by the Lions.  

    Why would we revert back to this when JVR who has performed the role since coming in is also playing

    Pregame pregame question. 

    Will Max play against tigers?

    Would you risk him when the Tigers have no ruckman? 
    We then play North off a very short break and then Gold Coast. 
    Doubt we will see him before North game. Could be as late as Hawks game. You don’t risk your most important players.

    I guess we don't need him against norf and Gws anyway.

    I disagree hate can be healthy eg I hate murderers, pedos etc - probably even more than I hate Essendon 🤣

    I don't think it's a concern given we can activate the sub at any time

    • 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?
