Tracc a solid game tonite.  Loving the mid field starting 3 of Tracc, Brayshaw, Viney ..mostly no Jones, Viney & Clarry.  Much better Goody

 

We have won the game, now time to kick the goals we should have done in the 1st 100min

 

Hogan wow.... so far off being a good key forward right now

 

I’m off the Hogan station wagon

officially a couldabeen champion 

huge potential but needs smarts, real application and intense desire at the footy

hugely frustrating

    Are all you ANB whiners going to give him credit for the goal, or do you only pipe up in the bad times?

    ANB might miss a few, but he's clearly best 22.

    probably is...says something about what we have at VFL level

    Spargo just made a contest then and was penalised.  What in the world was it for?  This isn't netball.

    Dont let that goal fool you he has been [censored] house tonight well and truely deserves to be dropped.

    Both mentally weak 

    Are you a fan, last thing he is, is weak, trained like a demon to make the most of limited skills, huge running effort, and you call him weak... fair dinkum NFI

    So disappointed with garlett tonight. 

    Some of us tried to point out he has no form.

    This is a different MFC to last week. Much more desperation. Is goody holding family members hostage, Taken-style (anyone got a hotline to L.Neeson)

    Hogan is almost afraid of leading at the footy in the forward line. Look at how his defender played the ball and marked it on his chest. That's what Hogan should have done.

    He barely leads then keeps losing 1 on 1's - contested marks are just not his game at the moment  - I'd get him out of the forward line and just leave T Mac deep.   He's in a real rut.

    And who are you gonna bring up? Bugg? Worse kick, worse endurance.

    Another Viney Bullet handball. 

    Viney & Jones ...crazy chit from experienced players, especially in the slippery conditions

    I feel for ANB a bit.  Clearly he is getting everything out of his abilities, but too often he misses an easy shot, or takes a wrong option and it really lets him down.  If he can clean that up, and I think he can do it, then he could be a really handy player in our side.  As it stands he lets himself down too often, but you are right to argue that he is certainly not weak.

    need to kick a few more and take away some percentage from this hell hole.

    A few late goals to freo would really top it off !!

    Typically - what does one do with players in a rut? Send to the 2s?

    FFS, we're over 50 points up in Darwin. You'd think we're down by 80 with some of the negative Nancy stuff

    • 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?
