Expect a better effort this week, would be surprised if we get much from Fullarton but at least he’s tall. Turner I’m more optimistic about. Would like to see a score of 80+ to give some hope about the rest of the year.

Freo still win for mine, they beat us consistently when we were good so I’d be shocked to beat them when we’re going like we are. If we can keep them <100 that would be good but May out makes that tough.

And of course I plan to catch the 12:50, I get to the platform at 12:49:50 and the doors are closing... the train leaves bang on at 12:50. What is this [censored] leaving on time to the millisecond? I'll miss the first 15 minutes now.

Japanese driver 😂


I have near zero expectation we can win this game today, which probably means we will.

We've got to turn it around sometime right?

Looking for some enthusiasm from big Tommy and Disco Turner always provides good value IMHO. Good to be getting some more games into the Kolt, Lindsay and Langford.

    This is all about our pressure for me. I don't think we're any chance of winning (upsets do happen, but we don't match up against Fremantle well at all), but in a week where Goodwin's put the heat on us for being "easy to play against", we sure as [censored] better come out and do our best to make it hard for Fremantle.

    A low pressure rating will speak volumes today.

    Can’t imagine we lose by less than 60.. their game style has consistently smashed ours, even when we had form..

    Mind blowing she has a job calling games. There’s been petitions to have her cancelled… she’s that bad..

    petty forward, so turner down back??

    Petty forward?

    So we train all summer to have May, Lever and Petty in defence, and now with May and Lever out we decide to swing Petty forward again?

    And Turner barely gets a crack at being a forward for us this year and is now going to (presumably) play defence?

    Mind boggling. But......desperate times call for desperate measures.

    Could work. Disco was a good back before he was a forward. Think he's a better forward than Petty though

    we just need to stick with and not change him and petty around every week

    • 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?
