Well all now the first 1 minutes if Melbourne are going to turn up.

Our bottom 6 players will determine if we win today.

Billings, Laurie, Turner, Howe’s, Chandler & Tom “Free Fallin” Petty.

What, like last week when we looked completely on in the first 10 mins then proceeded to [censored] the bed for the following 3.5 quarters? :P

    As mentioned previously I will bail you out WCE -don’t hold back.

     

    Glad Jvr is back. Surely Fritta is due for a bag or Kozzie?

    Come on fwds do your job. Same to Mids. Fire up 

    I suspect we will be competitive for three quarters and probably beaten in the last.

    We have certainly painted ourselves into a corner talking this one up.

    Love this place when people come in to offer some insight whether that's through their sources or whatever and get absolutely smashed for passing on information. 

    Classic Demonland.

    Lol, mate, you do the exact same thing.

    True

    hopefully the players had their pillows fluffed last night.

    Not a gambler but noticed just now Dee's firming still. 

    Fascinating

    Apparently the club took heed to last weeks issues and the boys are getting a mani and pedi as we speak. 
     

    The bookies are worried about being out of pocket after seeing the red and blue nail polish being delivered by Uber. 🤭

    No doubt all the Pies morons at the ground will be in full [censored] mode.

    Huge game.

    With our insipid performance last week we have put ourselves under huge pressure - both in terms of our effort levels being rightfully knocked all week and the need for the four points.

    But the pies also desperately need a win to keep in touch with the 8.

    We played poorly in our previous losses, but the freo game was different.

    Understanably, there has been some strong comments and condemnation on dl this week. 

    But i dont take anything from last week in terms of our game plan, sytems, personel and lines. 

    Apply that level of effort and any meaningful analysis is superfluous.

    But this is goody's 8th season as coach and that was the only time under goody that we appeared to give up. 

    They have earned the benefit of the doubt.

    But they get that benefit just once. 

    I'm super excited. 

    I am firmly of the view that in terms of method our plan is to revert to our normal method, with improvements to our turnover game, come the end of the season.

    I think we will revert to that model today. Forward half, contest based, win the inside 50 count football (and go back to a more transition based game against the roos).

    Basically the same model we employed the last time we played the pies.

    And I suspect we have long set ourselves for this game, and planned accordingly in terms of our high performance program.

    I hope I'm right. We will know if I am pretty early I reckon. 

    Dees by 27.

    From our named fwd line of Jvr, Fritta, Petty, Chandler, Kozzie and Anb we have averaged 40 points.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Tmac moved again. Something has to change 

    Don't share your optimism Binman. Wheels are off for mine. Can't see us kicking a winning score. Pies by 10 goals.

    Carlton also 2nd on the ladder playing our exact 2023 game plan but with some better forwards. Just shows it still goes alright. Will be great to see the contest and territory game back today.

    If we win by any amount, it will be a win for the ages.

    we have Turner as well. no need to stress! 😬

    for the Pies, only Schultz and Daicos bros got multiple goals last week

    Just listened to Richo on SEN.

    He didn’t say this in so many words but it felt as though there’s a concession from the club that we’ve overreacted from our 2 finals (where we dominated in either scoring shots or entries) and that we’re quite frankly struggling to adapt to a game plan focused on connectivity.

    Be interesting if we’ve drawn a line in the sand of if we persist with whatever we’re doing.

    We are a curious mob, us passionate footy fans

    Many dees fans are hoping we go back to a game plan that last year many hated and wanted to see the back of.

    This is better than listening to BT.

    One of the true highlights of following this club was this blokes post match interview.

    Please just play for each other and do this for Gus.

    • 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?
