Reminder to everyone that it's a scratch match.

We lost comprehensively to the Bulldogs in the 2021 preseason game.

Geelong lost to Gold Coast in 2022.

Collingwood barely scraped past Hawthorn in 2023.

    Yes true, but what a great time to trial plans to stop a run-on or get some composure. That is the concern - we just look lost.

    Lucky we’re not playing Carlton…

    Oops that’s next week…

    Still got Oliver, Jefferson, Adams, Hore, Tholstrup, Verall and Seston to come later in the day.

    Learning the cost of turnovers when we try and play more quickly and take the game on

    leaves the defense open (which it hasn’t been for 3 years)

    good to learn the risk/return and who we don’t want to have the exit disposal now.

    can we relax??

    Yep the posters that are going on about there's no pressure on the turnover, do they really think that's the way we're going to play in the season with no pressure

    nah

    train the way you want to play

    also are now in front on the only scoreboard that matters:

    1 injury to the tigs, 0 to the dees

    Wowsers… it’s a scratch match. Richmond giving away their game plan, we are not. Relax.

    As Iverson said, it's practice you're talking about practice

    methinks you've completely misinterpreted what ai was saying - practice hard, play hard

    Wait until next week, do you really want players to put there body's on the line for a scratch match, and get injured 

    Anotehr poor turnover, another tigers goal.

    A bit of a pattern. I suppose you could blame it on our attempt to play fast football. Fastball is not our traditional strength

    I am pleased the Kayo feed here is not working !!

    • 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?
