Has a team ever won the Inside 50 count by 20 and had more Inside 50s than their score?

    There’s not many games that the umpires really impact!

    But they absolutely screwed the Demons tonight!

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    Harmes killed all our momentum in the third quarter when he decided to go and hit a number of Port Adelaide players on the [censored].

    Lewis cooked.

    Tyson cooked.

    Fumbles.

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    Oscar is nothing with Lever.

    Melksham and Tom McDonald couldn't buy a free kick.

    Hogan went missing.

    Jetta is a star.

    I'm not unhappy with our effort away from home.

    I thought we deserved to win but for the umpiring.. early it was the momentum stopping free.  Late it was 10 consecutive free kicks in the last quarter. 

    What else can we do?

    Four point to the AFL tonight. 

    That was as blatant as is gets

    We lack composure. We don’t make selections factoring in the opposition or the conditions. We don’t beat good teams.

    Great effort by most with poor execution. Needed to take our chances in the first half but couldn’t break them or the crowd. Two many that think they are better than they are. Hogan and Petracca time for your talent to be matched with intensity.

    Deserved to lose. 

    Taking out Spargo and not bringing in another crumber, having all those useless inside 50’s with no one to pounce, while Tyson comes in to do some bit part stoppage work in some sort of made up role is just nonsense. 

    Worst part is Port were awful.

    Don't care what anyone says, we were absolutely robbed by those [censored] maggots!!

    I think we will probably scrape into the 8, and lose week one. 

    Too many players who give us nothing under pressure. Jetta and McDonald literally bleed for us, while Petracca, Tyson, Hogan, Neal Bullen etc disappear. 

    Losing Lever was the end of our season. 

    I hope we make finals to get over that mental hurdle, but sadly we are nowhere near good enough to impact in September. 

    A brave effort.

    Utterly disgusting umpiring

    But gee we do some stupid stuff, ie Oscar's 50m penalty when he was three weeks late, to pick one example

    With that loss and seeing as we can’t beat any team with talent and with the run home for other clubs below us I can’t see us getting near the eight now.

    If you follow the Socceroos and Melbourne you seriously need some good counseling.

    Lost that in the first half with so much wasted opportunity. We had them complete on toast but persisted with the long bomb inside 50 to a pack of 10 players system which NEVER works for us. Just dumb footy.

    umpiring sucked bad but we lost that ourselves

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • 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?
