As devastating as it was to lose finals in the last two years coming in as top four, at least we put up a fight. This is just deplorable from Port Adelaide.

    I know Geelong and Chris Scott are equally disliked on Demonland but their ability to challenge more often than not is amazing.

    Does Ken even last to the Semi's, this is an epic fail. I am truly staggered at how one sided just tuning in now.

    How do you rate Petracca’s skills just out of curiosity?

    Not sure how Trac came into this conversation….

    Geelong have only been out of the top eight, 5 times, since 2004

    Their midfield is so average. The only stars they have are JC, Stewart and an aging Danger. Their role players are still high quality but Scott is the master strategist.

    It’s a very good effort and also sickening.

    Their role players have a lot of skill, the ball control tonight has been top shelf

    It’s what we’ll run and coached sides do. I’m a bit shirty tonight watching Port, who finished second get smashed while our club is out of the finals and is in the news for all the wrong reasons.

    Danger is the most over hyped and over rated footballer in recent times. 

    Fair dinkum, this is the best example of tall poppy syndrome. I don't care how much of a campaigner Danger is, he's an outstanding footballer, like having a go at the All Blacks, you can hate em, but respect for what he's done over the journey. At 34 and a 1/2, he's still above his average for disposals and had an impact on metres gained.

    Scott is a great coach, but he also has two completely unique star players like:

    Blicsavs. He is a freak. Plays any position and on any size player. Small or large. More times than not, he gets the job done. 
     

    Gryan Miers also broke the all time record for goal assists last year. People love to hate him, but he is a master of inside 50 kicks.

    I would kill to have Miers in our team.

    I don’t and can’t respect Danger. I stand by my point. 
     

    Ask Danger how tall he is and divide it by a good margin.

    Apparently ginnivan is at the London tavern watching the game. Sam Mitchell is aware.

    After going to the races gf eve last year & winning I guess he's sticking with tradition

    The ultimate chokers the Powa, all style, no substance.

    We need to find a Tall Forward with presents.

    Look at the tall fella who has come on this year in forward line, Neale can take a mark and is agile.

    That's all we need, both years in our straight sets exits our Forward structure has been appalling.

    Watching a Qualifying final just blows my mind that we had 4 chances to make a prelim and blew every one of them in ‘22 and ‘23. Statistical chances of that happening would be awfully low.

    It’s almost like Port must have a virus running through the team.

    • 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?
