Live ladder has cats second on 28 points, with their percentage dropping to 112.5.

We are 24 points on 121.1%.

Keep going suns.

This has now actually become a pretty big game for us. 

Cats could end up losing 10% plus. Say we add 3 or 4%.

We finish tge round equal points with the cats, and 13% plus clear.

And the blues play the swans at the scg.

The blues are also on 24 points but are only on 109%

If the blues lose, we could be a game and 15% plus clear of them.

That's a big gap for the blues to fall behind us 

Dogs beating the giants would be the cherry on top.

    The live ladder is making me feel a lot better about missing out on the 4 points last week, but I’m also feeling ever so slightly less chuffed about beating this rabble (I know they’re missing a few from the team that played us).

    Best viewing of the night will be Scott chewing through a [censored] sandwich in the post match. He’ll be fuming 😂

    a pulled hammy or 2 for the cats would be the icing on the cake here

    Just heard there’s a virus going through the Cats squad. First felt symptoms against the Dees  few weeks back.

    Cameron doesn’t have concussion but full bout of this unknown virus. Initial symptoms vary but all players reporting feeling a bit “off” within hours of being exposed to the pathogen. 

    They all look very sweaty and fatigued right now. As does the coach

    Won't be many pumping up the cats strategy of managing players after the last three games.

    Back fired on them big time, had an incredibly (AFL only) gifted draw back in 22 to execute the resting regime.

    Five highest ranked players are Suns. Holmes next. My guess is that Holmes will get at least 4 coaches’ votes (all from Scott).

    I used to be very judgemental about what young men did with their hair, but now I just think ‘do it all young man. One day you’ll have very few options’.

    • 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?
