Carlton were amazing tonight, I do not want to play them in the finals.

One thing that stands out about Carlton is their synergy in the middle of the ground. They just seem so connected right now. McKay and Curnow also always know exactly where each other are.
 

We’re the complete opposite. Petty has no idea where JvR is while Viney is more likely to handball to the back of Clayton’s head.

    Waiting for the “ Lions will beat us by 15 goals next week on this form” posts.

    Frustrating that Brisbane keep introducing genuine goal kicking forwards such as Lohmann and Morris, where as we’re on absolute struggle street with respect to our forward line.

    There’s a number of optimistic posters on this forum, and they every right to be optimistic, but I’m a bit concerned that next Friday night is going to be a black night for the club given the opposition and venue we’re facing.

    In this wacky season one thing has stayed consistent.

    Brereton loves the sound of his own voice.

    Port under achieving again. Hinckley the great survivor but at some point the Port board will say enough is enough.

    Butters a great player, but a hot head. Just kidney punched Berry for what should be consecutive game reports.

    And just like that Port’s season along with Geelong’s is over.

    With Port and Geelong sliding, Essendon unconvincing, and Fremantle and the Dogs hot/cold, I’d like to think a good few weeks from us can really spark everyone’s finals hopes again (mine included).

    The spots in the 8 are there to be taken.

    Unless Port come into some really good form over the rest of the season (unlikely), I don’t think the Hink will be coaching the Power next season.

    I quite like watching other teams getting flogged, it’s almost therapeutic. Particularly when the team has a [censored] as a coach.

    I was about to start a post about why the media only focuses on Melbourne: surely the problems at Catland deserve more attention.

    When we were 6 wins 2 losses the media narrative was how Melbourne's culture issue was not as bas as thought .

    We can't win hence I watch and read very very selectively. My mental health is way better for it. 

    Go dees

    Time for Ken to go. Had his chances and they need a refresh. Hinkley to Bulldogs has been floating around the traps of late.

    If we are to win tonight, I sort of feel any sort of buoyancy will be squashed next Friday night. The Lions look bloody good. Thank god Lever will be back.

    He’s not the only coach, I can think of another who’s lost 4 finals & straight sets exit at the G

    • 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?
