Just checked our draw for the next few rounds. Hey we are a big show to win 7 in a row. I"m not sure whether it would be good or not, considering we have written this season off and are looking for high draft picks.

    I'll take all the wins we can get

    Unfortunately I am not as positive about this as I'd like to be.

    We are a chance come Monday, but to be in the game we can't just turn up and outscore the opponent for a Qtr or 2 like we have done.

    Also, theres Port at AAMI & Dockers in Subi. On current form this is a big ask. Then there's a plane to Sydney & Brisbane and the Blues times two. Remember last year?

    we should try and win as many games as we can...realistically if we win 8 that would be a fantastic achievement....and we would still come bottom 4.

    its important for the young players devlopement that we keep winning...good for the culture, good for winning mentality and it means that they are contributing and playing well

    We've been pathetic in 6 out of 10 games, competitive but not good enough in 3 and managed to crack it for a win against an interstate club at home last weekend in unconvincing fashion after leading by a seemingly insurmountable amount at 3 qtr time.

    I love your optimism but what really makes you believe there is any chance we'll win 7 in a row?

    Well weve one last week. Collingwood Monday, big show. Essendon, Carlton, Brisbane, Kangaroos, Port over there and there not that good at the moment. That gives me 7. Ive always been an optimist though. Gotta be this year.

    Geez, last week you would have thought that the club was about to keel over and die given the way people were talking about it, now it is 8 game winning streaks that people are talking about.

    Lets just take it 1 week at a time. I rather we do what Port did last year and show something late in the season to carry on with next year. Losing is not a habit we want our young guys to get into

    • 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?
