No but guys think of the 'support' Dawesy provides

Spud

Surely he can do something against Brissy's defence?

 

Brisbane fans are saying thats their strongest team they have put out this year..

Thought Terls was a bit stiff too.

Got quite a lot of turnovers on the weekend.

 

Yeah it looks that SWYL - I don't understand the changes. Maybe there are some injuries we don't know about?

after last weeks lame effort i will pleasantly suprised if we win another game this year.

I mean we LOST to half a side of damaged footballers last week.

That 3rd quarter was an absolute shambles

Do these employees of ours ever learn anything??

I know it's terrible.

Heads should roll.

There is little evidence to suggest they do.

This is just the sort of game where a young nobody, like Daniel McStay, will bob up and kick 5-6 goals and be a match winner too.

Always happens to us Wisblood.

Just like we play teams and players who have been horribly out of form into form.

At least we are consistent!

FMD it's hard following this team.

Paul Roos is surely taking the [censored] with this line up

What about Newon for some run

Just wow under whelmed

Completely feel the same.

I was reading the article just shaking my head. No words just meh.

As it stated in the paper today, this club has achieved nothing since Neale Daniher.

I expect nothing from this team anymore, last weekend was the last straw.

All talk no walk!!!


People had high hopes for Newton yet he can't even make a squad of 25. Also pretty stiff for Fitzy and maybe Toumpas especially since Stretch wasn't good last week. It's like that tunnel ball has ended Fitz's career even though he showed some form in his 2-3 games

Not sure what people expected

Our injury list hasn't moved this week. Whether you bring Grimes or Newton or Michie they won't make us a better team.

I want Kent and Salem back, but I also want a million dollars, so you know, tough luck.

See yas later.


Feel for the Toump. Stretchie has similar numbers or less. Not anymore goals. Less tackles and just as many clangers and is still in. Love Stretchie. feel Toump's card also marked now. Back to shitilaide young fella.

Stretch does the same job as the Toump but without the turnovers/clangers.

I know it's terrible.

Heads should roll.

Cant believe nobody was dropped after last week......what do you have to do to get dropped, refuse to take the field?

After last weeks terrible loss the doom and gloom feeling is well and truly back. What we dished up was a disgrace, Roos knows it and the players know it. It's all about how they respond, the Lions will feel they're a chance but we have to get back our early season form of starting confidently and putting on early scoreboard pressure.

This is our must win. We win and season expectations are back on track, we lose and it's back to square one.

Jockstrap?

I hope and think that Harmes will get another run. Roos has given new players a couple of games to try and get into the groove of things (neither ANB or Stretch set the world on fire in their first matches).

I think we're likely to see:

In: Grimes, Riley

Out: JKH, ANB/Stretch

It says a lot doesn't it, but it says even more about those who don't make the team this week.

Really? Seems to me they have lost 7 on the trot and only won 2 for the year

yes they've lost but were very competitive against top sides unlike us.
 

Watched our Forward line coach interviewed last night

very ordinary performance I must say.

I think we may need to replace him if that's as good as it gets

Pathetic apologist

Followed by Nate Jones. Again no explaination as to why the team didn't come to play and the appalling on field leadership

What can they say " we are seriously short of talent", "Dawes is hopeless and I have no idea why we pay him so much"?

That would go done well with this group with eight games to go.

  • 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?
