Pressure is on, don't want a zero and two start. Time to put a difficult preseason behind them.

Those basic errors from last week (the fumbles and missing targets), and the lack of ability to adjust the strategy within the game, have to be fixed.

Stay in the game Dees, or time to slam and make the statement, we are contenders again.

Really hoping our forward line woes are fixed.

We should be better for having a hit out, against a team coming in fresh.

Go Dees!

 

On the train from Scumbury- a surprising number of Dog supporters!

They are looking far too smug and happy- I feel very much like handing out a jolly good thrashing or two !

Hopefully I’ll arrive at the G in time for a couple of heartstarters with @Moonshadow  ( poor company I’ll admit)

 

I’ve read a lot of posts along the lines of “Sydney and GWS are the standard we need to match”.

After the last two seasons I think we should all know that flags aren’t won in March. We need the four points far more than we need to look like the best side in it right now.

The train from Gisborne on a nice sprinter might have been better, bitter!

We all need to wear this against Collingwood on KB. Now that would make a statement 

This was our immediate thought. But we have to wear the latest FreezeMND beanie during banner raising and while in our bay. We’re gonna come up with a way to incorporate both. 😅

Yes, let's not allow inaccurate kicking to bog us down.

Helmet would definitely make a statement, but also vital for ones safety.  I don't feel safe at those games.  Never have, and certainly not now.  There should be some sort of personal safety kit available to hire or purchase, the filth shield or something.

No one will boo harmes today will they? I won't.

Harmes gets a forever free pass for that one famous possie and kick to Fritta.


Given our strong connections as being the pioneers of inducting Irish footballers to Australian Rules. May fond memories of Jimmy Stynes, Sean Wight (hon) et al, be celebrated with your favourite tipple Jamiesons, Guinness, Beamish or Bewley's Irish Breakfast.   🤞  for luck of the Irish. Saint Patrick's Day 🍀 at the 'G Demon's win.

I always saw Harmes as a solid contributor and a genuine nice guy.

Whats to boo?

Why would anyone boo harmes. No true demon supporter would boo him.

Given we bizarrely booed Baker last year who could not have done any less to tick of the supporter base, I’d imagine the answer is a clear yes.


Daniel the sub. Bevo is a sicko. You kinda have to admire it.

Gee Caleb Daniel has gone from just about being an elite kick in the comp to sub.

Hope taj goes well when he gets his chance

That's right it was baker. I knew we booed someone that didn't deserve it

Baker was booed in response to the doggies fans booing hunter. It was a [censored] for tat thing. He wouldn’t have been booed otherwise I reckon.

  • 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?
