    Pretty sure we beat Essendon last year.

    Carlton are a different story this year, they are not playing that garbage flooding crap anymore. They are open and running, which will suit us.

    We did beat Essendon last year. Poor quality match at the dome, wasn't a big win, but we got the job done.

    We could, and should, beat those 4 teams.

    watched the dons v west coast and sydney in the last 2 weeks and it will be a bloody hard game, if we have rivs back we are a decent chance

    And designate someone to man up Dustin Fletcher. He is in career best form. You can't let him play loose.

    Can't wait for the Davey show. Aaron and Alwyn on the same field together. Should be exciting.

    Do you guys think it is unfair that Essendon play this week, and Melb the second week of the split round, thus giving us 2 weeks off compared to your 7 day break? Or is 7 days enough no matter how long the opposition has had.

    Essendon only have an extra 5 days and have to travel (admittedly only to Adelaide). Still much prefer that than bloody Collingwood having a whole weekend to themselves again.

    Yeah true. Still, I'm sure the likes of James Hird and a couple of our older blokes would be thankful for the extra 5 days break.

    i dont think its a massive problem but honestly, if their are two games in one week, why not just reverse those games so that all teams are playing sides with equal break?

    ie

    split round week 1

    a v b

    c v d

    split round week 2

    e v f

    all other teams etc

    next round

    a v d

    c v b

    all other teams

    that way there is no problems at all...is it that hard to work out a fixture that is fair?

    Just like every team plays each other twice.......oh!

    Fairness does not come into the AFL fixturing philosophy.

    and the scary thing is they have found a way to get goals without the fev kicking lots

    But Fev is in my dream 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?

    • 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?
