That was a great shot of the Geelong cheer squad then. He was on his 15th Canadian club and was looking like he couldn't find his way to the loo.

    These are the type of games that can "deerail" a season.

    That ought to shut them right up about the Catties.

    Bet they have a nice easy kill next week to fall back on at the Cattery.

    Actually it is GW$ - one can only hope for four in a row.

    Oh GWS at the Cattery next week, that will be interesting.

    Could have sworn the AFL default fixturing would have lined them up against a Norf or Hawforn type arrangement at the Cattery after an away trip.

    They have had both Norf and Hawf already, boosting their % and temporary top spot

    Please send Essendon up there next year 

    ... and Geelong as well.  

    Knowing AFL however it will probably be us off a 5 day break 😠

    I know the AFL want more goals but games like these are just awful. I’d much prefer a slog with total points < 150. It just makes goals feel more valuable.

    Commentators at pains to tell me how brave and wonderful Geelong is. Imagine if we were coping this type of smacking 🙄

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

    But there might be some pumping up the sun's strategy.

    Back to back games in Darwin, off a 5 day break.

    They rested 5 players I think.

    Credit to the Suns, they ran it out pretty well.

    I've NEVER wanted to stay up to listen to an opposition coaches press conference before. But I might have another beer and hang in there.

    Cats have giants next week.

    And Sydney at the SCG 2 weeks after, before the bye. I think they’ll struggle to win either of those, and turn 8-5.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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?

      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?
