Will be watching this on delay. Cos when the game is being played, my 12yo is playing cricket in Melbourne. Yep, winter cricket, every 2nd Sunday ...

I think the hurricane last year didn’t help 😂

What didn't help was the geniuses in our Brains Trust (sic) who decided to bring in Ben Brown & Grundy on a soaking wet day. It cost us the game & not for the first time.

Very evenly matched with tough assignments all across the ground, and I’m struggling to find a genuine reason why either side should win.
Clutching at straws, but my red and blue heart tells me that our home ground advantage will get us over the line by 7 points.

Just back from France and Portugal. Jet lag had me up at 3am. I’ve had breakfast and read the news, but the game is still 8 hours away. Go Demons.

You better have a nap 


Not sure where our goals will come from.

Petty will need to play well and hit the scoreboard.

Not confident at all. Maybe Kozzie to kick a bag.

I took a leisurely drive to the game in Alice last year.

I know your real name now....   Rob McKenna. A god of rain and perhaps a good shiraz.  Try Simon Clayfield's, you'll love it.

Oops. Nerves got the better of me.

Go Dees!

SN34

Stop serong, help Max

No umpire 15

 

We're good

And mcVee on Young

Our starts have been so poor, but we rarely get blown away. If we are even-ish at the end of the first quarter, I reckon  we win. Fritsch, Kozzie and ANB to do the goal kicking damage. Dees by 16. 

SeeTravelling by train from Sydney to Goulburn, won't arrive till 3 pm we will have to watch on delay. Those at the game help the boys bring it home.


I’m left wondering why this game wasn’t played during Sir Doug Nicholls round?

There was 2 rounds to factor this in. Yet again another poor fixturing conundrum

Woey jnr as sub again.  Is that six times now !!! FFS.  Might as well send him away to another club.  Give him a full game.  Hunter should be sub imv.

it works, as he can play multiple roles

faith in the footy dept

Well I'll only be ablt to see the first quarter so later on when I come home from work I wnat to see 3 things.

A melbourne win, no injuries and Gold coast have beaten essendon


I've done well to avoid David King for most of tgis season.

I just had a reminder why.

On the fox pre coverage King declares the dees 'have been credited with performances they don't necessarily deserve'

What the flying does that actually mean?

HOW GOOD DID OUR BANNER LOOK!!!

Freo didn’t even have a banner, they had a guard of honour. We had a banner AND a guard of honour. Yeah the Dees!!!

The wet patch on the ground is a worry. 
Please no injuries.

  • 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?
