You can not be serious Melbourne.

Wow.

 
 

Hard to understand why they're playing like this. Just can't get going. When even players like Hibberd look off the pace you know something is wrong.

I think Melbourne has just broken the world record for how quickly a team has undone a year of good work. All it took was 30 minutes.


What the actual..

This has to be a dream nothing this bad could happen in reality

I see it but I don't believe it?  Hope the real Melbourne comes out for the second quarter!  It's a long way back!

It is, but we have done it before and they are good at capitulating.

Come on DEMONS

 

The missed free kicks are amazing and gifts given to pies.  But pies do start fast, we have to fight back now.

 

Has there ever been a club that gets so big headed so quickly. Playing like they are already locked into the finals. No chance today. They simply don't care


If we don't turn this around today, I almost think the players deserve for Adelaide to lose. 

4 minutes ago, leave it to deever said:

Lets be honest it doesnt matter if we make finals anyway.

I want to drop max. He is taking up space.

 

Hunt can nick off too

Midfield is getting flogged. 

Maynard dominating Oliver. There's no other plan. 

Least you can get numbers to the ball.


That was slick

Wow what a terrible first quarter.  Ots not going to happen Melbourne. We do need to win this. No tackling pressure.  

Maxy getting outmarked by cox. Come on Melbourne get going 

Ok. Best possible start. Now another 10 of those thanks.

We were 28 points behind midway through the 2nd quarter on QBD.

I'm not watching, so I don't know how bad it is precisely, but let's not give up just yet.

We're waiting too far off our men in the zone. We can't make up the ground as the ball gets there, so Collingwood consistently have loose men to take the mark or receive the handpass.


Their transition out of defense and numbers on attack are killing us. They look like scoring every time they go forward. 

 

Jack Watts is a good kick at goal. I'll give him that.

BOG so far for us today. Him, Hogan, ANB, and maybe Petracca are the only ones so far who can hold their heads up.

  • 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?
