How bad a senior coach do you need to be to continually lose close games when you're in front in the dying minutes? Just flood the [censored] forward line you dolt!

I can't believe we lost to Freo. And we let them score as much as they did. We really need to tighten up and zone off better behind the ball.

Two different ways to approach evaluating a game. I'm a big fan of the 'not picking out a whipping boy' approach.

Both North and Sydney are 5-0. Life ain't too bad at the moment.

Hopefully Hawthorn joins them tomorrow

Kangaroos shocking in close games - learn nothing!  Brad Scott must be looking down the barrel, he surely can't lose this many close games without coming under scrutiny.

4-15 in games under a goal

How the [censored] did we lose to these Fremantle idiots last week? They're rubbish

That is harsh.  THE TEAM got ahead of themselves at half time.

North Melbourne 0-5

Delicious!

How many wins since their 10-0 start last year? ?

Freo turned two games they should have lost. We turned two games we should have won.

Well they finished on 12 wins so if you take jlt series out of it they have won just 2 games since round 10 last year that's not a great stat 

 

Wow, Sydney (last year's grandfinalists) 0 and 5.  As big a fall from grace this year as Freo were last.

Quick allert AFL HQ, crank up the Swans cola and extend their academy zone into Central Victoria, they won't make the 8 and are clearly on the brink of catestropic collapse.

"Sir Bob". AFL website has an ad for a tribute to "Sir Bob" today.

 

WTF?????????????????????

 

Is he the only bloke who's ever missed out on a flag?

Is he the only bloke to play 300 games?

 

What am I missing?

The [censored] fest over Bob has been seriously cringeworthy.

Get ya own premiership pedal Bob.

Was at the Freo vs North game last night, when the game was on the line Mundy Johnson Neale Fyfe and Sandi all stood up. 5 leaders makes a difference in getting mediocre sides over the line and setting standards for the younger players coming through.

Same story, same names stepping up as in last week when we played them. Our leaders were invisible, making mistakes or both.

I'm not writing Sydney off until their bye.

Their next five games are against Carlton, Brisbane, North, St Kilda and Hawthorn. If they're 5-5 at the bye, they're not done with.

The talent is still there so they're a threat from anywhere in the 8


The Saints are a really interesting team, i find it hard to read them, players like Billings and Dunstan don't look to me like they can get much better than they are now

Not big on the Saints but hoping they beat Geelong.

Saints a direct rival to us in the race for the 8, we need them to lose just like we needed Freo to lose last night.

Trying to figure out who we want to win this game. I reckon Geelongs a certainty for the 8 so probably them as we'll be fighting St Kilda for spot.

Gunning for the Eagles today.

Would love to see the Hawks start to challenge and break all our records from the past ten years.

Yes they might give it a real shake over the next few years....186 would be nice.

 

Umpires obviously forget about watching for ducking when it comes to the cats 

Cats doing just enough to be in the game at 3/4 time and pray for Selwood and Dangerfield to get them over the line in the last.

Every f#*king week.

  • 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?

    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?
