Defence looks very shaky. Particularly Lever.

Umps are looking after us.

Viney 4 free kicks.

Salem, JvR and Kozzie need to get in game.

Kids doing OK.

Max hasn't been clean

    We did well to come back. Just need to stick our tackles and apply more pressure within the contest. Port were lucky early. They aren’t much of a side, so we should be able to break them down late. Viney getting frees he deserves, Rivers starting to realize he can take the game on - no one can stop him, and Howes.. just thoroughly impressive. Sky is the limit for Howes

    How’s that not fifty? Gawn gets no umpire protection 

    In what world is that not a 50 to max. Sozi ran straight into him after the mark.

    I thought our boys composed themselves really well after the start. Just need to compete behind the ball as best we can.

    I love supporting a team that never stops believing though. It’s great.

    My wife dubbed Adelaide as the city of bad hair many years ago.

    where's the 50 for the kick away... 

    ✅️

    Can someone pls get hold of Max (Choco) and tell him to plant that left foot (last step) pointed towards the right hand post.

    That way he has little chance of such a big hook which he does about 80% of the time.

    The left foot when planted is duck footed slightly left and thats where he kicks it

    If we lose a close one it will be because we didn’t have a match up for Dixon. On track for 12 marks.

    His name was Tomlinson

    Didn’t Dixon run around the mark?

    • 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?
