Sorry meant for the Casey game but Iā€™m sure the same will apply

    On the escalator to Level 4 of the Olympic Stand I always admire the old photo of the game's founders, Wills and Harrison. Some serious biceps on Harrison. I bet he lifted.

    Getting your posts in early chook

    Kayo pre- game show (in case anyone missed): what GC have to go to make the finals, and Melbourne are AFL house/ media witches hats.


    A very rare sight on my train. A Gold Coast supporter! I wasnā€™t sure they actually existed

    Feeling good about this one.

    I can't afford Kayo/Fox footy so I can't watch the game. Pretty sure that means we win.

    I'm particularly expecting a whole lot of those small moments of effort and cleverness which turn a game but will never feature in the highlights tapes.

    Today has a Xavier Lindsay vibe.

    Good choice of sub.

    Was calling for this earlier in the week.

    Agreed B B Colin.

    Speaking of marshaling the troops, how does it work with Turner and Jeffo out?

    AJ for Jeffo but who takes Turner's post given Milkshake is only the sub. Perhaps he (JM) will be more full-time because he is the only one that offers any real forward power.

    I think we will see more of Jake that just the sub or at least activated earlier by necessity

    In either case it's a lot to ask from the aging veteran. Showed some scintillating stuff v the Swans in our last 2023 h and a game and several prior.

    Problem being, its two years ago for an already relatively old player. That said if he recaptures any of that form again, it will go a long way to alleviating our fwd line issues for sure.

    No pressure JakeyšŸ˜Š

    And a quick shout out to Jvr and his mate Fritta....pull your fingers out. ..lest a court Marshall approaches. Well at least a good chewing out.

    Ps, Was Disco dropped or injured?

    Thanks BBP.For what it's worth, I find you a pretty good judge of the game so your response would be very much appreciated.

    Litd.

    Is the MCG sound system set high for the hearing impaired?

    Crowd looks pitiful. May not crack 15k. Get ready for more media bashing this week.

    Lindsay did not look good with that knee šŸ¤¦

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™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 psychologistĀ  Itā€™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 letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™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 ruckmanā€™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 Demonsā€™ 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?
