I don’t think we’ve got much chance, only chance we have is they’re due for a loss, that’s our only chance, they’ve been up for months, we’re so inconsistent it’s amateurish, if Kozzie has a big one we’re a chance

On a train going to Fed. Square. Lucky socks are on 👍🏽

Running late. Called a Didi (poor man’s Uber) to take me to the train station and he never showed up! Had to walk 20 mins to the station in the rain.

As I’m boarding the train he messages me with “I’m at your house, I’m In a bit of a hurry. Where are you?” 😳 I messaged back “Are you [censored] serious???” Now his phone’s turned off. Dude won’t know what hit him when he turns it back on… hope he enjoys the messages I sent… he’s gonna wish I had a coffee first 😂

But this hasn’t dampened my enthusiasm at all! It’s dampened my lucky socks, but not my enthusiasm!

Let’s do this, Dees!!! 👊🏼

you poor damp little sheet rack.Concerned about the the damp lucky socks.Us by 6 goals .6.12 to their 2 goals

    Win or lose, it's a great day for a great cause.

    But I do hope we kill Cwood.

    Pumped for today. Weather looks like it won’t be as terrible as was forecasted a couple days ago, but Melbourne so we’ll see.

    Feeling like we’re definitely a chance here - whole squad just needs to lock in defensively. Tackle with intent & make sure they bloody stick! Our pressure has to be elite over 4qtrs.

    No team, no player is immune to elite pressure. Right in their face lads!

    Convert our chances & in turn the scoreboard pressure will take care of itself.

    Get around em!!!

    I just sent the Domestic Staff outside for 10 minutes to see how wet and cold they got. That "litmus test" told me it's a terrible day so I'll be an armchair supporter for this game.

    I realise that wet ****ty days have'nt suited us in recent years but i reckon the weather might even things up today. Endeavour and motivation will be major factors in the result.

    Dees by 13 points.

    I almost agree with you Bbo. Cold, wet and hordes of pies forcing me to the top deck. Armchair for me too But sadly I cannot see a win.

    A win for the ages.

    Today we’ll show the competition why they don’t want us in the finals.

    Dees by 21, JVR to take his first steps to form and Petracca to be BOG.

    Historically we are amazing in the wet. What could possibly go wrong?

    On another note, my wife saw Max doing the shopping with his kids this morning in Coles - she said ‘wow, that man is colossal!’ He sure is, he sure is…

    @binman selections?

    Kolt. Has been very uninspiring at Casey but maybe he’s the type that lifts for the big ones and motivated by the occasion. Hope so (but it’s a punt!!)

    JVR. yes only because he plays 2nd ruck. He looked ok up the ground v Swans VFL but we need him to play key forward and kick goals. Prefer Jeffo as a forward right now (even though he’s goals over the past 2 VFL games were against poor opposition).

    Howes. Deserves a go. Maybe he’s plays half forward this week. He’s versatile so we will wait and see

    I’m worried about our pace. Pies run the footy through Quaynor & Daicos through the back half and corridor. I thought they might use Sharp to tag Daicos like ANB did. You need a player with a tank to stop N Daicos. Not sure we have such a player now. Pies have McCreery, Hill and Elliott as small forwards. Mcvee gets Hill. Rivers perhaps on mccreery. Elliott will be a challenge. Howes?

    Question. Have we gone in too tall. Given it’s likely to be wet, pies went full Sullivan and Hayes as their 22/23 player. Wise if it’s wet and low ball required.

    odds favour the filth… Pies at $1.25 dees at $3.90

    Simply have to win if they really believe finals are in the mix this year. But going back to the forward line that got us in this mess does not give me much hope we will.

    • 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.

      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?
