Game Day

to be any sort of a good side we CAN NOT LET side have a 5 goal jump.

Ok down 26 pts at the half. if we just loose, just its not good enough.

We have to believe in our self for the hole game, not just a qtr or two.

 

Aussie or Bennell to be subbed please.

nothing surer than Bennell being subbed of at some stage in this second half

This game is making me feel physically ill. I can't cope with it anymore.

We are so bad, it's actually depressing.

Bartram, Watts, Grimes and Garland are working hard. Everyone else is asleep. WTF is going on with my man Frawley?!

It looks like such a lazy performance, and the joke is that WCE are actually pretty poor. We just keep gifting them goals.

Wanna start smoking too :blink:

 

SYLVIA AND MOLONEY HAVING DOG GAMES!

GARLAND AND WATTS OUR BEST.

DAVEY IMPROVING.

WE ARE STILL A BUNCH OF GIRLS!


inside 50's 34 to 11 but apparently we have a game plan

that's exactly what Bailey highlighted for us to address this year and has failed miserably so far.

I think I will be almost as disappointed if we outscore them 2nd half and save face, as this really is a DISGRACE.

just don't know how long this club can continue to be so pathetic. we only play well when the heat goes out of the game in tough matches.

you play the next week like you finished the week before? exact opposite in our case.

For me it comes down to the lack of hard work in the first, which improved in the 2nd.

It's Bout time they woke up its AFL and you wont get any where without hard gut running, tackles, intensity.

I know, Frawley, wtf - where is the cry emoticon :(

 

I think Bailey is an assistant coach (and a very good one) but i do not think he is the General we need.

This team has incredible skill potential that must be harnessed. This is not a player problem tonight.

OK

So we are at half time..

Positives:

- Watts, presenting and marking extremely well.. Nice goal assist too

- Bail, taking the game on, just needs to work on execution to finish

- Garland, best defender tonight and is showing some ticker

- Jamar, getting beaten in the taps but trying around the ground

- Jones, trying and trying and trying...

Negatives:

- Frawley is no where the player he was last year at the moment

- Green is not showing on field leadership

- Game plan got run all over

- Cannot kick in after a point, we need to work on this!

- Grimes decision making is not right

- Sylvia doesn't work hard enough both ways, he is just frustrating

- We need to work on stoppages, they are smashing us and breaking free

- Wonna and Bennell - Do something!

- Our coach doesn't coach very well


Bring back Maric! Sould never have been dropped. Another poor coaching decision!

Fells like the players are working out their own game plan each week - they have to watch the other team for a quarter first though!!

Certainly the **%## coach doesn't have one!!!

And Jamar! Gee, give him the coaching gig. The only bloke that plays a full [censored] game.

Absolute rubbish, these people are professionals both the players and the playing staff!

We as supporters shouldn't have to put of with this garbage. I dont usually come on here to complain and be extremely negative but after the 2006-2009 years we should never have to see this rubbish.

What happens after half time imo is irrelevant, this is a disgrace by so called professionals.

Atelast show some intensity! Do something! Make them earn atleast!!

Stefan Martin instead of shepperding ran to the spot Sylvia was running. What was he thinking.

Haha that had to make you laugh though! In Stef's defence, he's been one of three players to actually be respectable. Watts, Bail & Martin the only three.


Brad Green should not be Captain...Looks like he has gone backwards.

They must sit down to wee too :blink:

we are the laughing stock of the competition yet again and im sick of it. Bailey is another Peter Rohde or Matthew Knights. Hes not upto being a senior coach. He doesnt demand respect and he has no plan B. Half of our team were superstar juniors yet develop into duds?? i dont think so. Its about coaching and development!!

No workrate, no intensity no skills! That comes from the top!

Brad green is not a leader, circa 2004-2009. Get him to full forward and leave him there. Never has been a midfielder

Well... half time. We're close enough to keep me watching - just.

Leigh Matthews had a bit to say about our game plan a couple of weeks ago.

He said: "It's very risky the way the MFC midfield put their heads down and sprint to the forward line whenever a team mate has the ball... if there is any mistake made, the turnover will crucify them."

I am really worried about the development of our young players. If they spend long enough with this game plan, they'll end up much less than they should.

I think Bailey is an assistant coach (and a very good one) but i do not think he is the General we need.

This team has incredible skill potential that must be harnessed. This is not a player problem tonight.

U kidding me right??? Who has been kicking the ball outta bounds??? Who has been missing targets by foot??? Who's been handballing to players under pressure???


I was going to say that Morton makes Watts look like a hard arse. In fact Watts has been in our best, with Garland, Jamar and Trengove. Watts will only get better, Morton is always going to be the new Cameron Bruce.

I feel very cross at the moment and will probably regret my very negative sentiments. Its not very Zen at all.

I'M JUST SO SICK OF THESE PATHETIC STARTS. WE ALWAYS DO THIS INTERSTATE. ARE WE MENTALLY PATHETIC??

We have no mongrel...I could use another word that rhymes like punt.

I think we all want 100% effort in all the basics, if we lose cause we arn't good enough so be it.

But as Barrasi said, "Do Something"

 

OK

  • 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?

  • 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?
