Jones stood up>> in the last 2 mins.

His out on the foul when we needed a goal was just what we needed

Kicking 18 behinds is not coaching related

14 behinds MAT, 4 were 'rushed'

Worst disposal by a captain of the MFC. Nathan Jones hang your head in shame.

Had a few opportunities for career defining moments and he fluffed them. Sums up the side really.


Don’t know why we are playing Spargo over Kent

    We are mentally weak. Too many players go missing when the game gets tough. Unless Goodwin is kicking it for them can’t see how he’s to blame. Jones last quarter proves there is no excuse why he was weak as [censored] jogging between contests for the first three. Reset next week  and hopefully someone stands up and decides to take the game by the scruff of the neck.

    Port Adelaide, the second Geelong game, and tonight. All games we 100% should have won but found a way to butcher it.

    Each of them in different ways, but the bottom line is we have officially choked away top 4, and top 8 is looking 50/50 right now.

    Goodwin must go! Hopeless loss! 

    I am gone. I will be sending membership back and am presently collecting all clothing etc to put in good Sammy bin. The homeless guy said he will report me for putting rubbish in the bin. 

     

    We lose two two games to the cats by a few points now they sneak into the 8 . Well done you bunch of clowns

    What has changed for hunt’s run and dash to be only seen once in the biggest ground. This must be coaching but I don’t understand why he would be selected then.....

    Someone needs to tell that drop kick coach of ours Spargo should never be picked ahead of Kent. Cost us at least 3 goals with his selfish play.

    No composure. Panic after panic. 

    Our culture has to grow out of the losing FEAR.

     

    Composure is a must, in those ,little',,,  'critical',  moments.

    Jones. So flaky in a game that mattered so much

    Neal-Bullen can [censored] right off

    Hunt inclusion was a failure 

    I feel sick

    We needed a sight screen behind our forward line. We obviously couldn’t see Aliir all day

    Tacky comment.

    The umpires were [censored] in all four (both geelong games)

    Swans are an aging hack team who can't kick big scores to save themselves & we gift them 4 points with that [censored] goal kicking effort. Pathetic MFC.

    The lack of composure spreads thru the team.  Spargo did not start the lacking of composure.

    It was evident thru most of the game.

    Hunt is a dud. He got off the leash early in his career because no one paid him any attention.

    I love Jones but he should drop himself. 

    Sad but correct. No speed and takes 2nd or 3 option then gets caught.

    I cant see a serious future with him in the team. Started on the wing a lot also suggests goodwins thinking.

    • 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?
