This game has an uncanny resemblance to the last game against collingwood in 2017. Playing for our season & playing like a bunch of [censored]. Look like we’ve shat our pants... missed tackles, missed handballs, dropped marks, poor disposals.. The only reason we’re in this is cause adelaide are playing very poorly.

    We’re ‘good ordinary’ - same as them

    That whole clutch of sides from basically 5-12 is super, super even, and we’re right in that mix

    I'll see your good ordinary...and call it BOG ordinary. Skipper showing the way !!

    They are down a man for the second half, we need to try to make the most of the extra rotations. Try to run them off their feet. 

     

    we should be able to win this, we have so many players down and playing poorly, we only need a few to step up and play. it would be nice if hogan put in a bit more, he is terribly slow at moving the ball. only a couple of kicks behind, man up and please tackle..

    I just want to know what’s going on with Max (2nd week down), Jones (6th week down?), Brayshaw (can’t get it), Petracca (where you at?) and Hogan (who?) 

    Given we are already missing Lever, Viney and Hibbo, we can’t afford for some of our better players to go missing!

    and the Jones lovers will cream themselves over his 14 - with 4 turnover kicks and 10 x 1m handballs. The captain, absolutely putrid.

    Give up on the Jones bashing Febes and open your eyes

    He's getting the ball deep inside with 2 blokes hanging off him most of the time - one of those was cleaning up a Brayshaw fumble

    We have to try Pedersen again 

    We can’t risk McDonald in the ruck

    Frost has a real go but no intelligence 

    Need some bodies that can tackle 

    Van der Berg  and Possibly Smith

    You could have said the same of Jetta in 2013.

    Not so. Jets always had a strong body but was played as a forward. 

    JKH is a lightweight with hollow legs. I saw much of him at University of Melbourne and he approached his (former) studies like his footy. Close enough but not hard enough. 

    Those who rate him as an AFL will condemn this club to mediocrity. One or 2 cameos a match and several misses on goal do not a strong team make. 

    The quicker the coach ceases this failed experiment the better.

    Do you mean an exact resemblance to the game at the Adelaide oval last year?

    • 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?
