    He was dying to. Glad he held back. I don’t need him suspended. He’s too good.

    Good effort Dees. Crowd unsettled. Tells you everything you need to now. 
     

    I reckon Defence has help up pretty good considering.

    Is the ball greasy?

    I did notice a few players skidding along the grass longer than usual. Looks a bit greasy 

    Sparrow needs to seriously clean things up in this second half.

    Winning the Mr Fumbles award so far

    We need to break them this quarter.

    Do not want a close one at Adelaide oval in the last

    So many of our players have had zero tackles. And port have had much more ball than the Demons

    jack viney. great goal

    (took a lot of steps mind)

    It was a great goal by Viney but setup from Nibbler's creativity. He's such an under rated player.

    Good half after a pretty average first 15min. Byrne-jones’ duck aside we should be a goal up.

    Dixon been ok, Christmas came early for him with May going down, genuinely sleeps with the light on before playing us usually. 

    Edit: still no idea how Nibbler got Viney that goal, magic stuff

    Yeah, he and Tracc have been fumbly so far this year.

    Why have they got loose men every time but we never do?

    Because they're flooding back


    Nibbler has been fantastic, his work to get ball to Viney, and then in defence was monumental.

    Port are beating us easily in all stats

    I reckon we can get this home. We just need our midfield to click

    • 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?
