Believe he’s been a liability all year

Cant have a bloke in the side for excellent finger pointing who won’t chase or tackle except on the odd occasion when he feels like it

Nonsense. He was great in the two finals that we won.

    LOL Melbourne player nearly takes a mark and some idiot teammate crashes into him and he drops the mark, resulting in an easy West Coast goal. Sums up our day. The worst team performance of the year. 

    Once again, I'm glad we served this up today and not next week. The idea of us playing this badly against the Pies is vomit-worthy.

    Viney leads the game with 11 clearances, next best is 5 for either team. God this kid has heart.

    make him sole skipper next year, throw in an injury free year along with Lever and Hogan, we can get back here next year

    He’s not alone, but Joel Smith has had a shocker today. Not sure it was a great move bringing him in for a prelim so early in his career. He still hasn’t shown he’s even afl standard, let alone ready to play finals. 

     

    Maybe that's a reflection of the level of confidence within the coaching group, and also the selectors... That they thought we need to change structure as many of us did as well...  suggests they were concerned about the opposition,  to bring in a raw kid not long back from a long-term injury.

     

    I think in the back of my mind, I might have thought we had done enough in one year... = satisfied with 2018 ???

    Not necessarily. Look at Western Dogs and Adelaide.

    After Jones performance today, he has no right to complain if he's stripped of the captaincy. He went missing again, when it mattered most.

    A truly poor football player. Delist.

    Tyson has been atrocious today. I haven't been on his back all year like some other players but I fully understand why he frustrates some supporters. Almost every decision he's made today has resulted in a West Coast advantage.

    The aftermath of today will be crucial. The Club has to be tough on this. This preformance cannot be repeated. 

    We know what happens when it does

    Just think back a year, we got beaten by Collingwood last round of the year to miss finals, with West Coast benifiting.

    This year we went two games better.  I hope Collingwood win next week and then next year we go two games further.

    • 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?
