Ridiculous insufficient intent ā€œruleā€ is driving me insane. As is the way forwards get away with pushes in the back. Defenders donā€™t dare fall over to make it clear what happenedĀ

    It would be magnificent if Sydney can maintain this type of pressure up all night.Ā

    Chris Scotts 300th game as coach next week. Happy to spoil another Geelong 300th.Ā 

    I foresaw the game and afterwards in my dream. Geelong led by 50 at half time, Gawn had marked inside the goal square just before the final siren sounded, he kicked a behind, all the Melbourne players were jumping upside down, we won by 1 point.

    2am. Chris Scotts was still in the bar alone: I... I hat Melbourne. The bar attendant(a Melbourne supporter): Chris, you want me to play a song? Chris: yeah, let's... Iet's do it, a good one. The speaker: It's a grand old flag. It's a high flying flag... Chris: not... not bad, actually I... I like it, thanks...thanks mate. The bar attendant: My pleasure. šŸ™‚

    The one that didnā€™t get tackled but still got a HTB paid against him? Ā Terrible umpiring decision.

    This is amazingly obscure and I love it.

    if someone could put those words into AI to create some artwork - thatā€™d be amazing.Ā

    Pathetic Lions charity goal free, for not keeping ball in, or deliberate out, when a Lion actually tapped it out.

    We are so disadvantaged in a way playing at the G.

    While I am typing another Lions goal from a free.Ā

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™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 psychologistĀ  Itā€™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 letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™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 ruckmanā€™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 Demonsā€™ 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?
