I reckon you could have just stopped at your first line mate ;)

Probably! Just going off what I saw in the final minutes. Clearly we've been very good the rest of the time which is great.

Smith needs to tidy up his kick, as does Nifty. Very sloppy that quarter.

Smith was reading the play very well though but as you say, disposal needs to improve.

    Jones, Hogan, Jetta and Petracca. Not one tackle between them to half time. 

    Suns haven't had much of the ball

    Darleks “Exterminate “

    You’re right... I stand corrected and apologies to ProDee for ever doubting him ?

    Good stuff so far but start the game again and do the same thing. Go for the kill 

    I love him, but Jetta with 2 terrible and lazy kick turnovers straight to the opposition in that quarter would have normally turned into definite goals against a decent opposition. Time to smarten up and take this game seriously.

     

    Come on, boys. Third quarter is our quarter.

    very tough conditions. sitting in afl members and the wind is strong and swirly.

    Fancy that, I was told I should’ve read the forecast and it’s an enclosed stadium. Luckily we’ve kicked straight so far but I want to rip their throats out so they fold as a club

    Max. Hand it off. You’re not in the side for your precision kicking.

    For the love of god stop turning the ball over ffs.

    Maybe they should merge with Hawthorn? 

    Very lazy since half way through 2nd. Don’t like this 

    Good lord we can butcher the ball in the forward half.


    Sounds like we have kicked the ball over the head of every leading forward

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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?
