    This. Except in a much nicer way, and not disparaging birds of any kind.

    Better to let Grundy and BB do the ruck, give Gawn a break, he's tried.

    You do mean “tired” right?

    I love the phrase monkey's uncle. Is that a Lion King one?

    Sounds like he's been tried and convicted without a chance to defend himself!

    He sure is trying out there.

    I think it was around long before that since my grandad used to say it and he’d be like 1000 years old were he alive today. 😁

    ‘Trying’ in this instance being an adjective or a verb?

    Interested to see how Joel Smith goes about it tonight.

    Hope he clunks a few and can apply some tackling pressure when it goes to ground.

    We need to find our system and method tonight going forward.

    Taking the mickey by the way @WalkingCivilWar would never question El Capitano.

    Lets go with adjective for those playing at home.

    You must be a kid. Common in old Hollywood movies and early American TV.


    Time for Max to take this game by the scruff of the kneck! Just been going since he's been back & we really do need him at his best. 

    For me, he's our barometer tonight & If he gets going & starts clunking them around the ground like we know he can, then it'll go along way to setting up this game in our favour. 

    If Carlton deny us marking the footy, we'll be in trouble.

    No just your grandad! But don't worry, one of mine would have been 125 y.o a few days ago.

    Not sure what to do about this game whether to start drinking early or later and finish with a flourish

    Coffee ban? Why? WHY??????

    Yeah nah, good luck with that Layz. Wish I could do the same. I would except there’d likely be a spike in random homicides in the western suburbs. 

    I'm running a marathon today and feel it's analogous to our season. Currently in the early winter slump, going ok but slightly out of sorts, I hope by the time I cross the finish line (5pm-ish) there will be some beers lined up at the golf club and I can celebrate in style and watch the Dees tonight.

    We're just grinding out the marathon at the moment. Each km marker (game) is merely a snapshot at the present time as to how the team was feeling... it's not a predictor of the end result. There is going to be a lot of hurt and joy both on an individual and team level over the next 12 rounds... and then the next season begins.

    The saying has been around since the 1800s and was a sarcastic response to Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

    Well Polly wants a cracker because this is either a ‘BBB is done’ situation or ‘he can only play 10 AFL games a year’ situation. 

    I don’t understand it and I am worried more for JVR who is running about trying to play to where they are kicking it and looks so lost from time to time. Gawn and Grundy play like they ‘chip in’ to the forwards as a favour and we don’t have someone to the tough work now that TMac is out. 

    Unless we suddenly move the ball better - get ready for more frustration and as many I50s as points…

    • 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?
