I watched Oliver very closely that quarter. He is plonking it up big time. Multiple occasions where he can go for the smother and he doesn't bother. Once he's out of the contest he stops. Also, maybe I am reading into it too much but I always noticed players slapping hands/backs when they run past each other. I saw three occasions where Oliver ran past a team mate during a dead ball and there was no interaction. It almost seemed like once the other player realised it was Oliver, they hesistated to acknowledge him. Twice was Langdon. The other time was Viney.

    Throwing his body at the ball for that intercept/mark. It wasn’t much but it was effort and attack.

    our ball disposal is still pretty poor, we are getting away with it because we are playing north. hopefully we will continue to get away with it and get the 4 points.

    Or a very strange game.

    Forget scoreboard ...should almost be level ...nearer 0.0 v 0.0

    Just a scrappy crappy game..... bizarre

    HTB erased from rulebook. Seriously was changed just for the Scott whinge.

    Absolutely this

    The AFL are the biggest bunch of BShiiiteers going

    They imposed the rule for roughly the first two games in the round after the Scott whinge and conference call to Tax Payer Park and then reverted back to the same old crappola

    Not just you. North is way off it. Spirited but way off it. Brisbane is going to spank us. Scared for that game.

    Needs time at Casey. Goodwin has to make the call. We are playing more than a man short because he is a liability.

    Love it.

    I reckon it was "make it look like I passed out in my undies at a 21st and my drunken mates have got stuck into me with a couple of Nikko pens"

    Talk about stats being misleading - we’re down in just about every category including disposals, disposal efficiency, contested possession, uncontested possessions, clearances, marks …

    Surely the scoreboard attendant is asleep at the wheel.

    I wonder if Davies was the nice dad and Uniacke the [censored] or the other way round.

    • Haha 2

    Our disposal efficiency and shot on goal accuracy is putrid. Need to show some improvement in the last.


    Fgs Oliver how about just once you look before you just bang it onto your boot. Maybe find a teammate for once

    • 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?
