Jones was not the problem today. Goodwin had a shocker 

not the problem but the lapses for entire quarters also raise questions about leadership.

    Jones. Turn over king.

    Jones. Can't hit targets.

    Jones. Has no composure.

    Jones. Just bombs long.

    Jones. Bad decision maker.

    Turn over king that cant hit targets? 76% disposal efficiency, one of the highest on the ground.

    No composure and just bombs long? Only 10 of his 29 disposals were Kicks, 6 of them were Inside 50's.

    People will keep seeing what they want though.

    7 turnovers. Team high each week.

    Golly was pretty harsh but jones was poor yesterday, particularly in the second q.

    He makes too many bad decisions, which often are not picked up in the stats.

    A good example was his stupid decision to kick to hannan at the top of the goal square in the 2nd q from just outside 50.

    .Bombs it to a two on one contest, which unsurprisingly hannan loses, and the ball gets swept out of our 50.

    He had time and some space and made the wrong call. He should of kept on running, got inside 50, and had a shot at goal.

    His kick to hannan was not a clanger or turmover and would have  contributed positively  to his DE stat. But it was a poor choice and resulted in a turnover and a wasted forward entry

    So I'm assuming we lost by 10 goals?

    If Geelong didn't have injuries during the game then I would say a 10 goal loss was possible.

    They simply ran out of legs in the end.

    Worse analysis ever Joe! Obviously watched the game on TV and wasn't sitting in the crowd looking at the entire MCG!

    Well, its always amazing how we can watch the same game and conclude differently.

    I was at the game and agree with JBs comments.

    Harry Taylor is good, but not 10 goals good.

    Selwood was limited after the Wagner tackle, Guthrie was proppy too.

    The reduction in rotations hurt them a lot.

    I thought our composure really let us down yesterday. Too many times players threw the ball on their boot in a panicked fashion. We gave our forwards zero chance. Until this improves we'll be making up the numbers.

    Agreed TK. Looked to me that they were looking to go long too often...where as Geelong seemed well drilled about taking the short option to set up space. Goodwin complained about us not being able to lock the ball in our 50 but its pretty easy to defend a long ball to a two on one or even a three on two. Which results in not only a wasted entry but also an easy set up for a geelong forward thrust. Which they punished us with.  Im no football genius but being at the ground that much seemed really obvious, and, given that tactic is hardly new to football, I have to ask why goody allowed it to keep happening for the entire first half.

    You need to also understand where he gets a lot of possessions. Players who play deep in the guts often get more turnovers because they are kicking under a lot of pressure.

    Jones is not the best kick in the world, but he is more than adequate. He was pretty good all game, and definitely the least of our worries.

    i thought jones was fantastic in the 1st qtr kept the ball going forward and created scoring ops but seemed to fade away then was better in the last

    Salem was severely limited after being tunneled by Selwood  was hardly sighted second half swings and roundabouts.

    o--mac: weak and hopeless

    harmes: tried hard, but limited

    gawn: dominant, but no communication with mids

    oliver & petracca: amazing (apart from the misses)

    hunt: no good in tight

    maynard: liked his aggression, but no footskills and not ready for afl

    vince: played well

    wagner: crappola early, got involved and got physical in second half. if he can do that all game, i can accept one or two miss-kicks

    goodwin: coaching is a dynamic thing. adjust your strategy during a game bro

    In my opinion Frost, Brayshaw and Tyson are best 22 without a doubt, for what ever reason they werent play well goody has to come out and explain why. Factor in Mcdonald and Viney thats 5 of our best 22 IMO not playing on Sun thats nearly a 1/4 of a side. Not excusing the performance it was terrible 1st half, 2nd better but far from our best especially 1.7 not going to win games with conversion like that. 

    There is more to come from this side its round 1 ffs, im not throwing in the towel like many clowns on here are grow a set peoples.

    Hibberd - looked disinterested  early

     

    It crossed my mind over summer that there's no way Hibberd will replicate his amazing 2017 All Aust season.

    Hopefully it was just an off game for him.

    You seem to have a love-hate relationship with punctuation.

    • 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?
