It would be fantastic to pull away in the 3rd Quarter 

After Halftime has been a slogfest this Season 

If we can't beat this propped up, pretend team, then there is seriously as something wrong with us as a club.

We will win today.

    Overall it’s been a solid effort. Suns have been off but after a poor start we have played pretty well

    Nice to see out future fwd line starting to click. Turner and Petty looking good.

    Apparently the only bloke playing for Dees is Viney.

    Gold Coast must be winning by 50 points judging by the negative vs positive  posts. Remember the reason we are not out there is because the blokes that are, are better than us !!!!

    Damn it that's cruel  15 minute break at work. Puck up my phone and utshalf time.

    What have I missed? 

    Very little. 

    Disco’s crumbed a couple of nice goals.

    Viney had a big second quarter. 

    Max has largely beaten Witts but given up a couple of goals.

    Our skills have been poor, the Suns have been worse.

    And Sparrow got a nasty ankle injury that looked a little high ankle sprain ish.

    If nibbler doesnt pick up , he should be dropped

    imo gc17 are pathetic - that they have had access to so much talent over the course of their time and they still haven't got near finals is an indictment upon them as a franchise

    these sides very much look like teams who are sitting 11-13 on the ladder

    So happy with how Tholstrup is looking

    I want a refund

    Pickett has been the laziest player on the ground today… just jogging around, applying pretty much zero pressure… thankfully one of the only times he did apply a little pressure and got his only possession, resulted in a goal assist.

    I’m loving Turner’s game, Hore is showing a bit down back, Rivers managed to get himself somewhat back on track after a horrendous first quarter, Salem has been mostly good, but I have to wonder what has gone wrong with his kicking game. I’m not McVee is ready for a move to the midfield yet, having had only four possessions.

    Here’s hoping McVee, Fritsch and Puckett can get themselves more involved in the second half.

    So for half a game at least. Goodness is a champion coach

    Great to see us kick more and handball less, tackle more and mark more than the opposition at half time. And despite less free kicks and i50s, we are in front. Well done Dees.

    Ben Brown’s own ‘Mini Me’.

    Dees are definitely in this. Viney not looking like someone dreaming of Arden Street. Rivers had a poor first quarter but improved later in the second quarter. Carn the Dees!

    Great to see Charlie Spargo in the rooms!

    He is alive!

    Forgotten man. If he can get fit, ANB's spot is up for grabs.

    His inside 50 connection was elite in 2021.

    Kozzie has gone to the wrong ground I reckon. Unsighted today.

     

     

    Well done Kolt. Now kick another one.

    Love Max giving Kolt’s leg a rub like a proud Dad.

    • 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?
