This umpiring is disgusting.

50m should be 30m, it works out to be 2 kick penalty

too much panic and poor technique by Dees.

So many of them hanging back, not attacking the ball or their opponents.

 

Horrible to watch, is that 1.0 scored in their last 4 quarters?

i don't normally comment on the umpiring, but gee they are giving all to the pies.  Missing blatant our then giving the same offence to the pies a few seconds later.

Half to go though,

won't matter - no forward line

 

The maggots are killing us. No problem with being pinged for incorrect disposal or HTB if the same rule is applied to the opposition. 

Our structures are broken as well and I reckon Pies are harder at it. Suspect some of our girls are gun shy after some of those decisions. The maggots are killing us

Well, at least we can be sure that failing to make effective use of inside 50s is a true Demon thing.

I'm frustrated but not giving up on it just yet.

Our players have absolutely no awareness at all...this is like watching Neeld era Dees.

Correct. Turnovers under zero pressure. Limited run and dysfunction in the forward half. Stinear has his work cut out methinks...

Too many players who just can't kick, meaning any ball movement just inevitably breaks down.

Coach's instructions are "lift your workrate"?????? Non specific instructions will not help.

yes and apart from Daisey too many slooooow decision makers with poor disposal skills. Allowing pie players to close down space and put even more pressure on their disposals. Too many handballs too.

I suspect the Pies are under done though fitness wise and look a little too heavy over the ground for a Women's team for mine. Not enough quick runners across the ground.

If the Demons can clean up and quicken up their disposals I reckon they get pretty close here

Well yeh until they fix the problem.

Let's not forget last years grand final was one of the worst umpiring performances you will see. What's been done nothing?

The umps are the least effect here. No cohesive skills or game plan !!  Did a coach turn up ? Cant tell 


 

Unbelievable, 1 goal in 4 quarters then 4 goals in 1 quarter.

  • 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?
