Anybody willing to give this ageing queen a rundown on how Oliver is going? I’m really wanting him to stick it far up some people this year

Clarry just did the most superb candy-sell on the run right in front of me, then dished off a perfect handball. My heart sang. He’s back, baby!

Umps let play for a minute after the 3 minutes ended?

What was the plus 3 minutes thing? For those not watching. 

 

Campbell is definitely holding his own in the ruck. His experience and size will make him a very worthwhile acquisition

Jack Billings looks in good touch too. He’s a whipping boy on here but he looks more sleek and has used the ball well including kicking a snag.

Langfords gonna be a forkin' Thoopa Star.
There .... I said it.

Did he look confident kicking the goal? Last year I reckon it was too much in his head and put too much pressure on himself. When he was doing setshots in particular you could see how nervous he looked and didn't want to kick it and more times than not missed, and missed easy goals.

Taj Woewodin has been impressive as well on the wing.


Consider our keys not playing, and the horrible wind, that was a very good half. The old guard who are out there are doing their thing….Petty and Lever dominant, AMW very good (he takes Knuckles spot for mine), Jed Adams v good (lovely left foot), Bowey and Howes same. Kozzy, Clarrie and Riv carrying the very undermanned midfield. Langford getting lots, and using well, same XL, fabulous left foot included (great signs that they’re totally comfortable). Taj, Billings, Sparrow and Sharp doing well. Roo, Jeffo and Disco all working hard (wind is killing forward 50 marks) to create options and contests. Oh, and what a relief to have Tom Campbell this year for Max relief, he’s just plug n play competitive, and making Xerri v grumpy.

Agree with the set shots last year. His goal was a snap from the pocket. 

Laurie looks like he finally has some size in his legs and torso

He might surprise a few this year

Thanks for the updates!

Anyone know if there’s a site posting the stats?

Ben Brown as a commentator. Early days and learning his craft. Perhaps the new Kelli Underwood. !!! 

I hope not for his sake.

So turns out people meltdown in match simulation threads as well….

Fans have to get match fit too

Simulation meltdowns

 

North got the rub if the first half but wow that’s a decision. Save those for round 1 

Kayo are counting a goal scored by North during a scenario training where we were 8 points up and had to defend. Technically the score is  54-36 I think

  • 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?
