Very easy task this week:  only a page and a bit to wade through.  Unsurprisingly their few fans are not that engaged.

  • I'm not saying i'd sell my soul (if i had one) for a win…Buuuuuuuut....
  • Finally had good communication and run and carry against Richmond.  Demons will be a totally different task.
  • Our midfield will need to be on fire and our forward line will need to click as well.
  • If we bring our third quarter for the whole game we'll win.
  • Unlike the previous 2, this isn't a must win for me, but we can't be carved up.  unlucky for melbourne playing such an inform team like the suns.
    • Ha just their luck coming up against such an in form formidable opponent.
  • Let’s keep the loss under 10 goals, dees will be coming in hot after pumping a poor kangas team
  • If we could some how pinch this one, it would be huge, especially with WC the following week and getting us to 4-4
  • Melbourne are getting a bruise-free training drill before next week. 
  • Saturday arvo 4.30.  At least if it's thrashing the rest of the footy world will have forgotten about it by lunchtime Sunday if not 10pm Saturday

I won't be around much to do these for the rest of May so if someone would like to take over these reports, you are welcome.

@Queanbeyan DemonI think this was your gig before I hijacked it...

Thats a big IF

 

It’s truly telling how little engagement this club has after so long in the competition.

Anyways our first quarter > their third quarter 

Take this lightly and we will lose. Come out with the same mindset we did against Norf and it’ll be a 10 goal smashing.

This is a fair point.  GCS seem to always give us a hard time when we go there.  We can't be complacent.

And yet I don't think we've lost to them since 2014.

I think it works in our favour that this game is at 4:30 and not at night, it will be less slippery and dewy which we struggle with.

Having said that, I haven't checked the weather forecast and for all I know it could be pounding down with rain 


forecast no rain, light winds 22/23c at start of game, 20/21c at end of game.  sounds good conditions

I think those comments are balanced, and will add two things. Be very interested to see how many frees Matty Rowell will get along with Lucretia and Is i hope we get Razor again.

Autocorrect for Lukosius? If so, your device is impressively refined. 

Rowell vs Clarrie and Viney for contested possessions will be fun to watch.

Send them to Tassie it's easily the best option.

Problem with that is AFL ideally want 2 teams in more populous States .

Given these weekly threads usually come with street names:

"Where's the road out of here?"

 

What they’re saying at Nerang Broadbeach Road, doesn’t have the same ring to it 🤣

  • 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?
