    Or perhaps they’re happy to take 3 first round picks off our hands.

    Or a player and a pick or two.

    However our target may not be the obvious Reid. We may want a few players.

    So many defeated Demons posts on here. Sure we are not playing great but it’s May FFS. We lost to a top 4 team away by 4 points

    I back us to turn it around and to be playing a better brand by round 20. 

    And this aura around the Pies? [censored] me, stop building it up. they have this mental hold on the comp, the Blues looked beaten when then ran out. and the Crows [censored] the bed in the last quarter. 

    For me we need to play fast paced footy, we have the talent to do it. It does come with it’s fair share of turn overs but we can defend that and hurt teams more by creating constant pressure on them.

    The Filth look good unfortunately but it’s a long season with another 13 games to go .., we may actually see them travel away from the G

    i did. hence i said i feel we can turn it around. Pies are not unbeatable and we have plenty of talent and hopefully we can make some changes to our game plan and get our clearance game going again. 

    if you are sure we will not win the flag, why bother watching any games?

    Because I like football, I also said they are beatable, but if we keep playing our game plan we won't.

    WC might try to split pick 1 and use their picks on the best WA talent 

    Exactly.

    sounds like we’re in fierce agreement then!

    they'll trade with Hawthorn/North for a first and second. Would you want to play for North though?

    would North want another Number 1 pick though? risk another Horne Francis?

    I reckon Green would be the best player in the league if he wasn’t so injury/suspension prone. 

    5 minutes in, in the wet - one beautiful assist. one lovely goal 

    a football genius

    They just said Pies run the ground to score 1 in 3 times, from the kick out.

    What would our stat be for that, kicking to a contest on the left side, nearly every time.

    Also what is the stat for scores by opposition from our kick outs.

    We don’t seem to be as focussed on our pressure as we were in 2021.

    You know what helps. McCrae having a team that he barely has to make changes to. He has a steady reliable forward line that kicks goals. You don't see him rotating and still trying to work out his best forward line to kick goals. Take note goody 

    Exactly this. We won a flag and still have no idea 2 years on what our forward line should be. They got so caught in defense that they were completely blindsided by the comp changing tact and becoming more offensive and we simply have no answer to it. Should have seen it as the afl were all talking about making the game more of a spectacle.

    That's one glaring problem right there that's so easy to fix. Mark gets spoilt and punched forward to waiting opposition. So predictable

    And who's fault is that we have a ruckman as a forward coach, should have changed it last year, kids like JVR and co need to learn forward craft at this level.

    Nah, they're much better drilled then what we were last year.

    Their forward line absolutely shades above ours last year as a starter.

    their scoring indicates otherwise...

    their defence is excellent and their midfield outstanding

    Sidebottom....front on contact..unrealistic ....play on.

    I’m now in the mindset that we are unlikely to win the flag and if we do, then it’ll be a nice surprise.

    Both teams have had 20 scoring shots. Honestly Collingwood’s second half has been pretty ordinary. Carlton have kicked 2.8 since half 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?
