if they lose to Geelong next week in Geelong, we may end up playing them in Melbourne instead :)

Great, another week I have to not wish death upon Geelong. 

 

The beauty of middle age and not going out on a Saturday night. Shall I start with the Dustin Fletcher Hangar or Big Footy Port Adelaide? Tough

 

Interesting how the head clash incident in the Port game is being labelled migraine and not concussion. FMD. 
Good seeing Port prioritising player welfare

Cripes. So many upsets this round. I don’t want any upsets tomorrow. I want a……downset?

Port look exhausted. Kens contract might end up being an administrative blunder.

You mean an administrative Masterclass. It hasn’t been signed yet and may not even be presented for signing…

Port will be lucky to win 2 of its last 4 games and will go out in straight sets, mark my words.

As I suspected, they went hard early because Ken’s job is very much on the line. It’s impossible to sustain for 24 rounds then finals. 
Will they find a third gear in time?

Only @binman can answer this one 😂

Well now with this result looking like you were right and theres a door open for us to get to 2nd. I really didnt think it would be possible but id def take it.

Hopefully buddy injury not too serious and he gets to play again

After all the talk and work on concussion this year in particular, can the AFL seriously allow Port to get away with this?

Not much from Bomberblitz:

 

      "Might be an unpopular opinion but losing this game and potentially missing finals is for the betterment of the club."

Yeah good point. I do feel like he’s coached relatively well, but I still don’t like their team defence or structure behind the ball.

There was a story in one of the papers today about the 25 rule changes made to deal with concussion since 2005. AFL need to really step up take points of Port. 

Beat Richmond tomorrow and thanks to all this weekend's upsets second place is up for grabs if we are good enough. That's a big incentive that would rule out possible travel to Brisbane or Adelaide.

I will never understand why people melt after wins on here when we have rounds like this. 

Felt guilty barracking for Freo today, but it couldn’t have worked out any better.

Far out, footy messes with your head. Usually watching Papley I’m thinking of how much I can’t stand his annoying mug. Just now I yelled out “Yes! Go Paps!!” Come round 24 and I’ll be back to wishing him a pregame injury. It’s exhausting!

Reminds me of when I yelled out " Go Milney!" during the drawn 2010 GF.
Watching neutral games can be confusing to say the least.

Port are pretenders. 3 losses in a row and conceding 100+ points yet again. Would happily finish 3rd and face them at Adelaide oval.

They’re Melbourning it

Tipsters nightmare this round...

I may be going 0-9 hahaha

Obviously I want to be 1-8, Dees over the Tigers 🤞🏻

 

Good round of football, this.

Such a wild set of results that nobody can really make a clear claim to understand what it all means.

Fun that the biggest upsets - Gold Coast vs Brisbane and Adelaide vs Port - are also the only two games with any margin to speak of.

Hey, if 13th and 14th can beat 2nd and 3rd, maybe even West Coast are a chance to miraculously bridge the gap between them and second last?

But seriously, there could not have been a better time to be reminded to never take any team lightly. Plus, 2nd is now in the mix so it is time to get serious.

Buddy is a spent force. It’s actually better for us if he plays

  • 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?
