That was easy. North have a long hard road to travel.

everyone performed but I’m not convinced Schache is the answer. Let’s see how he goes against the suns.

    I can’t be bothered going to find the thread but Chandlermodium stocks must be about equal with Apple’s after that.

    Goodwin was so happy he high fived his security guards

    He is soooo cuddly. I just saw the president give him a big smooch at the end of the team song.

    Disgusting 😁

    Just need the antidote for the woman behind me to shut up because we didn't win by 100 points.

    The only downside was the missed 100.

    Go Dees!

    At least we cracked the ton. 
     

    For a team coming off 5 days, with a trip up to GC, the switch off to preserve a couple of percent for next week is fine by me.

    Everything clicked. Clear night at the G. Beautiful to watch. Crowd was pretty lame, but it’s North. No injuries. Seagulls absolutely rampant all game. What happened to the falcon? Onto next week.

    When was the last time we kicked 22.7? How good has our goal kicking been this year.

    Asked for a 15 goal win in the pregame thread, got exactly that. 
     

    Should’ve won by more.

    Great win, made even better with the memory of North beating us time after time for years.

    Excellent win

    Definite percentage booster 

    but … only the Dees would allow 3 soft goals in the last 3 minutes to reduce margin from 108 to 90 points!!! 

    Yeah.

    Only the dees.

    Sheesh.

    Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more

    At least the players showed up, cos the supporters definitely didn’t. Shocking crowd for a club with almost 60k members.

    Yep. Pathetic crowd. Perfect weather. You knew it was gonna be a probable giant win. Last home game for a month. Rubbish turnout.

    And I reckon half of those behinds were rushed. Probably we just missed a couple of set shots.

    Very professional effort on a short break. Flashes of excellent ball movement and mostly the right tempo. 

    The most pleasing part was the unselfish work of our forwards. Fritsch and Pickett clearly got the message after some of their efforts last year and it’s great to see it spread through the side.

    And why do you think that is? And remember they ended up with 3 players on the bench due to injury.

    Schache isn’t the answer. Petty back in or BB depending on form at Casey (with Petty to go back)

    • 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?
