Rd 3. Melbourne vs. Port Adelaide


Jaded No More

Recommended Posts

By far the best first quarter we've had in Adelaide in the last 10 years, which says a lot about our inability to play there.

Sylvia has taken his idiocy to a whole new level, Bate is horrendously slow, and our forward line couldn't complete against the Sunshine Nursing Home, but somehow we're not getting flogged yet.

Rivers, Martin, Morton and Jonesy playing well. McLean at least getting his hands on the ball.

Umpires are killing us.

Bring on the second quarter!

As per usual we let the opposition kick a mountain of goals in a very short period of time, and it all starts with our midfield going to sleep halfway through the quarter.

We know our forward line is terrible, but if the boys in the middle cannot get their hands on the footy, that's when we get smashed. We can keep up with the opposition despite our non-existent attack, but when we let Port Adelaide dominate every single center clearance it's inevitable that we'll get our arses handed to us on a platter.

Also, please please can someone put some firecrackers up Bate's arse.... his slowness makes him an actual liability, which is a shame because his skills are ok once he gets the ball.

On a positive note, Meesen is actually doing ok in the centre, but on the downside he is losing his opponent far too easily around the ground. PJ needs a run at Casey and in fact should have been dropped instead of Spence.

Jetta and Bennell having much better games, and finally Davey is having a real impact on a game of footy. But we need so much more from McLean, Moloney and Jones or else we will get smashed again.

P.S.- Someone kill Chad Cornes!!!!

Different coach,same [censored]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To half time:

P. Burgoyne-19 disposals,18 UNCONTESTED!!!!!

S. Salopek-18 disposals,13 UNCONTESTED!!!!!!

D. Piearce-16 disposals,13 UNCONTESTED!!!!!!!

There is absolutely no pressure on their midfield,we will never win a game applying no pressure to their midfield.

Result-4 goals in 8 minutes to close the half.

We didn't man up under Daniher and we don't under Bailey!!!!!

Half time

Port 65 Melbourne 28

Here we (don't) go again; Port is odds on to run all over us in the second half. Green has been tremenous, Maloney's battled hard, Davey has had plenty of the ball, and Rivers as done more than his share - really, we've had enough of the pill but once again our general field kicking is atrocious. We've got to show some grit over the next two quarters and not let this match develop into the usual AAMI shellacking.

how bad is sylvia's report?
not bad, its got to the stage were its virtually unwatchable, i cant see any improvement from last year, mcleans the worst kick in the AFL, and if miller marks in the 50 hed rather pass it off, cause he [censored] scared to have a shot at goal,its a pathetic display.

4 more goals to port in 5 mins.

Well, after only 3 games we will need to look for a priority pick.

the back line is under too much pressure, sill no forward line. All the kids are hanging their heads!

I really couldn't care less about him now. I've been one of his biggest fans however I've come to the resolution that he won't be one of the Melbourne players bringing the club forward.

Imagine how good Davey would be at Hawthorn?
hows the way he had 50 kicks to half time for the season and 49 had hit a target, yet mclean couldnt hit the side of barn from 20mtrs,and as for sylvia i dont think they should persist with him anymore, they mite as well be out there 17 guys on the ground, sylvia brings nothing to the table, hes a crumb that doesnt try. :angry:

hmmm wat can ya say i suppose... meesen is actually doin quite well in the ruck. 15 hitouts with 3 tackles and 7 disposal to 3 quarter time so not bad effort.. pj on the other hand needs a spell in the twos. speakin of twos how are casey goin?? surely some positive out of that?

Yeah really i dont think we have improved at all from last year. In fact we have even fewer options up forward it seems. We shouldnt have gotten rid of white. I would have understood if we had 3 good ruckmen to get more experience but i dont think any of them have the potential to even come close to him.

FOOTY SUCKS!

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
