    Kick the first 1 or 2 and it will be very hard to overcome. Let’s hope we can keep it up

    Well, it’s ours to lose. 

    We are in control. Tight, low scoring game but I hope we have learnt from the last few games (lions/roos) and we come out trying to score and put this away. The bombers will keep coming at us so we need to be firm, but bold. 

    We can do this, first goal straight from the bounce, let’s go!

    Salem and Sparrow slowly are becoming irrelevant in our list.

    If they can't find form, it may be time for them to look for opportunities elsewhere. Specially if we are going to be very active in the trade season.

    Great grinding performance across the first 3 quarters to win a three-goal lead. Can't be scoreless in the last again though. 

    I worry about Jake Bowey. He's a very little guy, and is often caught out in one-on-one marking contests or moments where he has to lay tackle pressure.

    One more quarter lads.. we've got then on the ropes! 

    We look dangerous going inside 50 so the more entries and pressure the closer we'll look to the knock out blow.

    You are crazy. He is competing and contesting and is vital.

      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?
