Was always going to be hard to win this game. Tyson missed the plane up there, must have been in the car with Kennedy as he didn't make it either. Kent wore the wrong colours because every possession were to his teammates in the power. Plus our whole defence seems to think you play in our own 50, not the other teams.

Worst we've played all year - including the Essendon game. I hope the club ceases this sponsorship deal with NT tourism. Giving up certain home game wins (Port have a terrible record against us at the MCG) will never get us far up the ladder. 

Special mention to: 

Kent - Selfish goal hog who can only kick on one side

Tyson - Didn't even make the plane trip

O.Mac - Has no actual AFL skills and has no balance

Harmes - Needs to go back to VFL - only survives via some cameos

Kennedy - got stuck in the terminal like Tyson

Shouldn't have played, still nowhere near 100%

Way too many missing and horrible mistakes by foot and hand.

Diamond defense has more holes than swiss cheese.

No intensity.

Horrible game by all standards.

Getting beaten out the back is our greatest problem, and that is structural. That comes back to the coaches who need to revisit.

Kents i50 entries were diabolical.

Disappointing, to say the least

Tyson was obviously not over his illness.

Oscar is no way a better option than Dunn at this stage.

Newton and Neale Bullen did not take their opportunity

Petracca's worst game

Midfield did not work despite Gawn playing well

Kennedy had a bad one

Harmes had a bad one

Game plan got caught out today.

Ever time they switched they had players free all over the place. 

We will not play finals this year.

Far too many passengers.  The old saying "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" showed quite a few up today.

Not that we needed proof but the work up by the media this week proved they are clueless. Jump on the bandwagon for clicks. We are way off.

Also why can't we throw the ball as well as other teams. The one time we tried it and I think it was hunt who got pinged for a throw yet port did it quite a lot. We need to work on this

So many problems today. 

Got completely outcoached. Had no idea how to stop that deadbeat Westhoff, no idea how to stop the quick run off half back, no idea how to prevent so many goals over the back. 

Had numerous key players who couldn't get near it today including Viney, Vince, Tyson, Garlett, Kennedy, Newton, Harmed and so forth. Most of our midfield couldn't win a clearance which was the most costly aspect. 

We also cost ourselves dearly in selection again. Didn't make enough changes, didn't bring enough support in the ruck. We needed Pedersen but for some reason went short with Newton who is so poor it isn't funny. As a result we got smacked in the air down back, lost numerous clearances, and continuously got smashed by a loose man in defence. 

A combination of terrible dumb coaching, awful effort from 90% of the team and a complete lack of run killed us today. We are not a finals team and we are about to start a long stretch of very difficult games. This was a golden opportunity blown.

Disappointing game, never really gave ourselves a chance at it. Too many looked flat or ahead of themselves.

Out: ANB, Newton, Harmes 

In: Oliver, Trengove, Dawes

Tyson and Kennedy only play if 100% which neither obviously were today.

Re-sign Jetta ASAP. Forget finals. I never thought it was a realistic expectation, but cetatinly it gave/gives the players something to aim for. We have improved but, if you cannot beat teams above/ahead of us then the improvemen is incremental. Which is how the season is now heading for us. We need to again get time into the young ones BUT also see who will stand up in games like this. Way way to many passengers again against a team we don't match up well against. Diamond defence is cubic zirconia. Let's get a plan B at worst. I never expected a win but hoping for a better performance. Back to the pool here in Bali

The port players have no sense of melody when singing their theme song.

I hope the club comes down hard on few payers this week and drops 3 or 4.

Newton typifies the club to me. He is 24 and has played 16 games.

Not many other clubs would have someone like that on their list. 

Another is Garland who is like Miller of old and just keeps getting picked.

We seem to lack the real intensity from not just players but all on all levels.

Its a credit to us supporters that we keep backing them. 

Yes we have improved and done some good recruiting but we need to do much much more to not just play finals one day but to be genuine contenders.

 We wont get there with quite a few of the players on our list as well as moving home games 1000 miles away.Think BiG picture like a premiership. That will boost the coffers.

Us supporters deserve it. We pay for it all. I mean we have been patient for fifty years now. Cut us some slack MFC. Please.

Guys that deserved to be dropped after today:

Kennedy

Kent

Harmes

Garlett

Garland

oMac

ANB

Newton

Petracca

ANB

So nearly half the team!

Posted

Have to agree with previous posters, made an ordinary team under immense pressure look half ok. Any anxiety from match committee to play  Trengove, Dawes, Dunn & Grimes should now be put to sleep.

Posted

Cannot see us winning anymore than 3 matches which means we will end up a slightly better team than last year. Calls from supporters for ANB,NEWTON and MICHIE to be selected is premature, lets face it senior footy is far more advanced than reserves footy. Let's face it Oliver,Brayshaw (when fully fit) and Vander are much better. Where is MATT JONES? he was playing alright until getting injured.Another rebuild is required at year's end. I don't see Dawes making any difference if and when he becomes available. Trengove may be useful.Why do the reserves get a day off? just because they are playing the SANFL. The reserves start later than the AFL , just don't get it.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
