I sometimes get a kind of gastro reaction to certain smells, like badly burnt toast or that acrid black smoke that comes if low smoke-point oils go into a too-hot wok. Like clockwork, three separate urgent trips to the bathroom in the space of 20-30 minutes, and then everything fine again.

Anyhoo.

Just thought I'd help take people's mind off this game.

That is some quality comedy.

    Coffee for me every time LG. I have to know where the nearest WC is before I buy one if I'm out somewhere.

    If it’s a choice between LJ coming back or keeping Kozzie, the choice is an extremely easy one for mine.

    For all of his talent, Luke rarely influences games.

    Watch LJ's footwork during the miracle minute compared to his footwork now. Chalk and cheese.

    I'm glad Freo are getting thumped. Fast becoming one of my least liked clubs.

    The traditional Vietnamese drip coffee is sphinctal anxiety in a cup for me.

    Which is unfortunate given my now copious connections to Vietnam and the fact that the circumstances where choices are limited that way are also the moments where emergency WC (Bathroom, not Eagles) access is not reliable.

    Freo have spent the whole of tonight looking like their most immediate concern is indeed the nearest bathroom.

    The top 8 really is open for any team which gets some consistency in their game.

    3 first rounders for Bolton, eh?

    He was horrific tonight night. It was way over the top for a player known to have games like this. His best and worst are miles apart.

    We can all be bemused by the Shockers tonight. They got unequivocally dacked.

    They still managed one thing we haven't all season.

    Kick 3 goals in the last...

    Let that sink in.

    We really have to do better.

    Saints playing an impressive version of the gamestyle Goody is trying to instill in us.

    We play the Saints twice on way home, huge games to come.

    I dread to think how boring those games will be

    • 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?
