    Game day baby. Let’s go Dees. Looking forward to another win today (and also Bluey and Bingo pre game entertainment). Might need a couple of cold ones to keep me warm!

    Still drizzling constantly. Slivers of blue sky in the distance.

    Drizzle has stopped.

    Breaks in clouds now, as blue peaks through.

    We have a bad habit of only doing what we have to. Even more so when playing teams down the ladder.

    Give me a win with no injuries.
    I'm easily pleased at this time of year.

    Adelaide aren’t a bad side though so I doubt we will get it all our way

    Good interview with Yze just then on triple M.

    1) confirmed Trac will play 80/20 forward.

    2) Actually gave a bit of solid info about Clarry. They’re targeting the North game for his return. Trained well during the week.

    3) Wants to put his name in the hat for the Richmond job.

    Adelaide are a poor team who only win at home and start very slow when interstate.

    Very big game today for two reasons

    1. Ladder position

    2. Improvement in forward line (especially BBB, Chandler and Melksham. The last named is very important as we go through the next 5 odd weeks without Fritsch) I would also like to see a solid four quarters from JVR

    Adelaide will come hard at our defence through the corridor. Like many teams they play mainly a less skilled version of the Pies/Port gameplan. Our half back line is the key

     Just bumped into Max at the G. He is pumped for a big one. F69E9A17-F266-492E-9359-8FA63A940B43.thumb.jpeg.6c4b45331ef33b97fdfa40b206642a26.jpeg

    Searching for an omen, on the way to the ground I saw three ravens sitting on a fence. One looked at the others, shook its head and said, 'Nevermore.'

    Dees by 29 points.

    1) Great to hear - Trac is going beautifully in the forward line

    2) Another bit of good news, hoping it comes to fruition and he can get back up to speed in time for finals

    3) One more flag and he's a senior coach in waiting, but not until then IMO

    At the Bermagui Beach Hotel for this one.  The screens are more AFL &  racing than NRL👏🏼 Hope they don't switch em over after the GWS game...

    Looking forward to Rivers producing more and more of last week’s final quarter.

    Chaplin on Rivers, scary.

    I had a meeting with him yesterday and reviewed his tape and I was pretty honest with him, I said I think you're only at about 75-80 per cent capacity for what you're capable of.

     

    80% is still a distinction

    • 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?
