Cross - was shown up

Garland - just a game

Michie - lacked the smarts

Vince - couldn't carry team

McDonald - easily our best

PYSS FUKKIN POOR

 

Why even bother

N.Jones - Not there mentally
Dunn - Pressured yet reliable
Hogan - Only bright light
Watts - Just another game
Dawes - VFL level pace
Viney - Prolific and driving
Lumumba - To the VFL!
Brayshaw - Out of touch
Gawn - Battled but beaten
Cross - Old among young
Garland - Did he play?
Michie - Provided some drive
Vince - Overwhelmed and beaten
McDonald - Loose and unaccountable
Neal-Bullen - Tried but limited
Grimes - Impressive as sub
Garlett - Zero defensive pressure
Howe - Counting down days
Jetta - Jetta of 2012
Bail - Last Melbourne game
M.Jones - Battled but unpredictable
Harmes - Must improve kicking

Put N Jones, Bail, ANB, Mitchie, Harmes and Brayshaw (he looks knackered) in the Hawks team and I bet they will drop off a heap - reality!!!!List wise we are a mile behind the bulldogs at the moment. Over the last few years they have scored big time with the draft and father/son. Our guys are young and hopefully will develop ok. The work Macca did at the bulldogs is underrated and hopefully he can help develop the kids to play at a high level.

Probably should make a play for FA Stanton to shore up the midfield and give the young mids a bit more time to develop - will also allow us to use our 1st rounder in the draft.

Getting hold of an experienced mid was really highlighted yesterday.

 

Joeboy's love affair with Dunn continues! Apart from a couple of possessions in the second quarter he was putrid.

sure mcdonald had high possessions but if he had half as many it would mean the ball only went into their forward fifty half as many times,it starts in the center


going to watch the replay now,Iknow its bit like putting ground glass in my scotch

Don't do it man, life's too short.

My TV must have voice command, It switched to a channel showing lewd acts. The more I shouted the the more lewd it became. I think it has spent the day fornicating with the Foxtel iQ

Sure, voice command. Is that the excuse you told the missus when she caught you doing a BBO.

Careful DiitD, I have been told that mutually consenting adults can play trains and use leather goods at the same time.

Edit:-fix typo - mutually contenting adults - can't believe I typed that.

Garlett comment if true very uncharacteristic. Jeffy has put immense pressure on defenders with his chasing, pace and tackling all season. A lot disagree with you over Watts. He played very well.

Felt Sick Watching

I kept riding (my bike)!

Garlett returned to old habits at Carlton. He looked defeated and I don't feel like he wanted to be there. Like many others.

Watts' game was solid, not bad, not good. Colossal brain fades leading directly to goals for them should be past him now. He is better than that. "Just another game".

  • 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?
