    There needs to be more intent. Take the first option, back yourself. Theres too much give it to the other guy and let him deal with the problem attitude.

    It's really simple.

    We have too many players who aren't good enough.

    (Also a few who aren't quick enough.)

    You mean like Lewis was pilloried for doing last week?

    Yep.

    Without getting into a discussion of that, the difference here is that we are doing it at stoppages, which is causing our problems.

    I just dont understand the lack of intensity or pressure.

     

    No excuse.

    Haven't had intensity since pre QB and haven't had pressure all year. 

    As someone said above this side is running on pure talent (from some) and getting sweet F all from it's coaches.

    Frost has the same shortcomings as 3 years ago. Hannan should not have played. JKH deserved a game based on vfl form but won't play again.

    haha yes this.  Anyone who thinks Tyson would fix this is definitely on the spectrum. 

    Maybe when the AFL decrees that handballs to feet are worth points we'll bring back Tyson.

    The trubble is buzzy,  Hannan adds nothing or hasnt so far and we are losing stoppage clearances badly.  I can only assume they are getting half their goals from those and the other from our dumbass turnovers.  T-Mac, Lewis and Frosty the obvious ones.

    They have 11 rookies to our 6.  We should spiflicate them!

    Dogs have one of the worst 3rd quarter records in the comp.

     

    Let see how much we want it...

    I’ve only seen the second quarter, but my take is that dogs are getting repeat inside 50s due to poor decisions and kicking. There was a point where it looked like we were breaking the game open but we let them back in and it gave them confidence. 

    The game has had a lot of ebs and flows, we need to make the most of the time we’re on top.

    Why are players continually allowed to drop the ball? Does my head in.

    Only reason we aren't behind is they haven't converted. Did you watch the Saints game? Its pretty much Verbatim.

    I just can’t believe our lack of defensive pressure 

    We won’t win at the G with this zone; it leaves too much space open wide on the wings and waiting for transitional ball movement 

    Been tha same for over 12 months

    Dogs have 11 of their best 22 out apparently. But yes, 1 pt win would do.

    We are playing terrible today 

    Getting close to turning off, yet again.

    Not good enough.

    • 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?
