Fro have made a lot of good teams look dreadful this season.

Every team they have played this season have been losing by 50 points by the first quarter then they Fought back in the last because Fro had switched off.

We made Fro play hard for 3 quarters instead of one like everyone else has.

Fro at a serious contender this season wear we are 12th at best.

I think the boys can hang there heads high after that performance considering were we have come from.

Just wondering if you agree or disagree with the captain? Or is he making a 'garbage' comment?

“It was really embarrassing, we were pretty disgusted with the result, particularly that last 20 minutes of the game,” Jones said.

“It was obviously really disappointing.”

“One of the real keys with Roosey is team first, and as the game unfolded on the weekend we saw guys put their own individual goals and decisions above of the team,” he said.

    Wow, you really must not have much going for you in life if you have time to write up a come back like this!

    Good work, You really showed me.

    But thing is I don't give a [censored]!!

    JKH was a positive from Sunday for mine. Hadn't noticed him much priorly this year, but won some meaningful possessions in the middle. I think he has the potential to be a good ball winner rather than your typical small forward

    wow

    I thought it was interesting that Freo had 12 players who played last Sunday that also played in 2011 when we beat them by 89 points. Just goes to show that if you can build around that core group you can turn it around relatively quickly.

    Yep. It's about so much more than just personnel.

    Ross Lyon is a pretty handy coach, having the best player in the comp probably doesn't hurt either

    so who's writing garbage, Nathan Jones + Paul Roos + Tommy Mac and myself... or you?

    we were shocking

    sorry for disagreeing with your glowing assessment of the performance

    lol not this year

    Goldstein by a mile.

    Yeah I deserve to be laughed at for suggesting the bloke named AA ruckman 4 times, including last year, is the best ruck in the game

    Just watched the replay.

    Cannot believe how badly Watts played. We would have been better with a witches hat. How he gets a game this week is beyond me.

    Mitchie did SFA. Jamar had no impact around the ground. At the game I thought he battled pretty well but on review he was outclassed.

    Pederson did nothing. Grimes was largely on Mayne.

    The amount of space and time we gave to Mundy and Fyffe is simply unacceptable.

    • 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?
