Well it was good to send the bizz, choppy and brown dog off with a win, but i for one am glad the season is over, some good points for me has been the form of jones, dunn looking like a run with midfielder, Newton as a key forward, Pettard's form before his injury, Bode starting to show a bit and i think the last few weeks will hold him in good stead.

these are just some, but bring on trade week and the ever entertaining chilli boys post's :lol:

    Absolutely. I can't wait for the preseason to begin - unlike previous poor years I think there's more promise with our list than in other years, but I also think it's time for some hard calls to be made in relation to trades and delistings.

    after tonites match, jamar is gone , i think he played for blues in that match given his kick to whitnall

    Both Jamar and PJ were worse than awful tonight.... Fergs and Wardy have probably played their last matches as well. Even with half the side out - it was still frustrating to watch so many blokes murder the ball. I wonder what will happen to CJ? He got more of it tonight, but gee he goes missing far too often.

    Nobody has really said anything yet, but I'd like to thank Mark Riley for his coaching efforts, coming into what was an already very difficult season.

    Tonight marked his last game as 'coach', and who knows if we'll see him next year in an assistant coaching role under Dean Bailey or as something else.

    But thanks Mark none the less for stepping him at such short notice and doing what I thought was the best you could do. :)

    The reception given to Biz, Pickett, and Browny especially at least brought a smile to my face. It clearly meant a lot to Nathan that the Dees fans stuck around to cheer him off, and he really has given his all to this club.

    Wierd night really, but at least the years over.

    I'm feeling the whole gamut of emotions at the moment, many of them conflicting.

    A small part of me is glad we could get a win for the retiring boys who deserved to feel the winning feeling one last time. Especially Browny.

    A small part of me is annoyed that we won. That part of me feels very dirty.

    A small part of me is annoyed we didn't beat them by 150 points.

    A small part of me is angry at the competition and its drafting rules for robbing me of the "winning" feeling today. It felt hollow.

    A small part of me is missing the footy already.

    The overwhelming majority of me is just glad this nightmare season is over and is counting down the days til round 1, 2008.

    Great post Nasher.

    At least we beat Carlton twice this year and outdid one performance metric from last year.

    Worst season I can recall and with less interest than I have ever experienced. Even 1981 I enjoyed more.

    • 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?
