So you are accepting that St.Kilda are a better more skillful side in 2018?

I'm glad you accept that your declaration was a false premise.

As for your new question to me re St Kilda and 2018 ?  No, we're the superior team who played a poor game.  Every year teams lose to inferior teams.  It happens often throughout a long year.  In the corresponding round last year Richmond lost to St Kilda by 70 points and we know who was the better team in 2017.

In fact, it's a very stupid question.  Dare I say, yet another inanity.

We must have the most unanimated, least interesting coach when he talks to the media. I keep hearing he is more animated off camera but boy he really gives you nothing. Not that I'm complaining. I'd rather a coach who sticks to the script then one who whinges and gives constant excuses like some.

Or says " We didn't see that coming. "

Let's not have any Melbourne coaches saying that again.

Good grief,  there is a distinction between X happening and players thinking that X is acceptable.   You assume the players have accepted (defeat, lack of effort, incompetence, whatever).  But just because they have been defeated etc does not necessarily mean they have accepted it.  They might just not be good enough.  

So by that logic you are alluding that St.Kilda 2018 are just a better side.

He loves a new question.  It's a tactic he uses when he know he has nothing else to add, so he'll throw a new one in there to try and take you off the scent.  Invariably the question has little to do with what you're talking about and, often, it won't make a whole lot of sense.

It’s not false at all. You just don’t like it

I beg your pardon??

A new Question?? St.Kilda were the team we just lost to on our home deck. They controlled the game totally for 3 Quarters. 

Before they had won 2 games for the year. They are Rubbish, and we capitulated. 

New scent... WHERE?

 

Tactic i use.....

  • 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?
