  • The dees have caused us problems since 2021 and we need to arrest their dominance over us.
  • There's one thing we have going for us - it was reported last year that the side had discussed the Melbourne problem at some length since the most recent loss (Rd 1 2023) and are determined not to be Melbourne's b@#$%^& any more.
  • Our team is vastly improved on paper where Melbourne has arguably gone backwards. They still have the best backline in the league in my opinion but we absolutely should be able to get them this year.
  • Dogs by 21. JUH to kick a bag.
  • We need Lobb to play May defensively. If we can do this we are big chance to win.
  • I can't see how this Melbourne forward line could kick a winning score.
  • Fritsch worries me the most. Lock away him and Pickett and we win.
  • Their forward line looked abysmal so they might try McDonald this week.
  • I’d be surprised if Schache survives that game, he was no good. Dees had no aerial impact up forward. McDonald and Fullerton were both emergencies and I imagine one or both come in with Schache out.
  • Their marking forwards don't bother me at all. Their ground ball game does concern me.
  • A lot of grubby ground balls coming in from Sydney, May and Lever didn’t have much influence.
  • They'll drop Schache for McDonald or Sideshow Bob ... or both. And floppy Bob usually bumbles his way to a few flukey goals
  • Would love to see one of our boys clean up that campaigner Pickett for once.
  • Picket? phtttt. This is the game that fritsch circles on his calendar. Someone needs to make fritch their b*&^%$.
  • I’d bank on Harmes tagging Petracca. He always cuts us up.
  • Fritsch kicked six on us in a grand final, with Brown McDonald and Jackson kicking a collective 6 as well. Last year Brown kicked 4 on us and so did Pickett though we were a shambles, worse than 2022 where Brown kicked 3.
  • Well last year I had to watch Alex Keath try and run down Pickett right in front of my seats in the cheer squad so there’s already one scenario that isn’t happening this year.
  • Rather Demons have won the other night, they will be super hungry to prove a point.

    There's been a significant rivalry pop up bw us and the dogs lately.

    May it continue with us beating them by 27 points.

    Our mids to dominate with Jv best on ground and Kozzie to have a picnic.

    Maybe I'm as deluded as some of these comments?

    Ps don't answer.

    All we have to do is play Freed from Desire as the team runs out and the Bulldogs will be so distracted with annoyance they won't be able to play well 🤪

    Agree with him but we somehow landed 100 points on Carlton the other week (albeit a practice match)

    Typical week on Demonland after a loss eh...

    How lucky are they AFL as a junket organisation, that the majority fans are so emotionally attached to meaning of one single game and the fortunes of the club, that they spend thousand of dollars of membership each year and 10's of millions on punting annually.

    They've curated it well.

    It was pretty convivial aboard my Watergardens train post game. They know we own them. We know we own them. What's to argue about?

    As long as Beverage is coach we will own them. We are so far in his head since 21 that it reminds me of when Malthouse coached Carlton and all he wanted to do was beat Collingwood.

    We broke the Dogs. Haven’t been the same since that grand final humiliation in 2021. 
    Bevo lost the absolute plot too after that one.

    We certainly broke "Premiership Hero" Eastonwood, who immediately retired after Fritsch kicked 6 on him

    They did alot of banking on the weekend doggie supporters for f k all in return.

    How they think they have improved has got me well and truely puzzled to use a polite term.

    On there way to centerlink they go for their next cheque.

    • 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.

      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?
