Scoring has really started to dry up as clubs have gone to work on one-another’s game plan and strategies. 

oh, i assumed we were the only one's 'worked out'.

Only when we're playing EO

 

That should’ve been play on. This is so frustrating to watch.

Where does ‘worked out’ come from you swollen [censored]?

Human anatomy censorship on Demonland?

Honestly thought the bye rounds were over. Makes tonight even sillier. 

Making the need for a Thursday night game at Kardinia Park even more flabergasting.  Or last Thursday for that matter.

Carrot?

Wasn't a direct reference to your comment per se - just an acknowledgement that each club, each week, tries to implement a game plan to counter the alternate club, as they have done for time immemorial, but only if The Demons lose, have we being worked out.

And we drop a spot. Ugh

Yes it sucks to drop a spot.

However, it’s an indictment on us if an Essendon, Dogs or Adelaide knock us out of the top 4.

Its our spot in the top 4 to lose given our reasonable run home in August.

Well it appeared as direct reference to my thoughts.

I don’t rate Ashcroft’s hair.

That’s a pretty intense observation. Are you sure?

Ashcroft does. Clearly. 


Ladder wise a good result for us given last night's debacle

Unfortunately a Freo win tomorrow is now best not to mention Pies over Adelaide

Yeah... life ain't great

I know it seems knee jerk, but I’ve actually been observing it over a 3-4 month period and my analysis really stacks up.

This may sound sacriligeous but I want Freo to beat Ess this week and WBD next week to give us a one game break into the top 4.  They are the two main contenders for 4th and both have a very easy run home. 

The draft picks pale in significance with a spot in the top 4 @ EOS, on the line.

Too bad Stef Martin in no longer at the club..

Ashcroft and Martin - regrow your own hair!


I know people want freo to lose but gee I hope they beat the bummers tonight. It would me me ill if they were on the same points as us.

Agreed.

Absolutely no benefit in Essendon winning tonight with respect to our top 4 aspirations.

It’s not sacrilegious. It’s just common sense.

Anybody bothering to keep an eye on the Sydney-West Coast game, please set your 186 alert level to 'watch and act'.

  • 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?
