Backline is under siege and not working well together. Our midfield looks like they couldn't give a [censored] though. They've barely hit a target at all so far. Lucky to be this close on the scoreboard.

Trac looks strong and involved though!

Tracc has a little fire burning under his backside, this year.

 

Need Lever back desperately. 

A lot of new guys down back and it looks a mess. Need to get themselves working together ASAP.

    Defending all over the ground has been horrible so far.


    It's very concerning that we are conceding so many points against us. 113 against the Tigers and already 26 against the Lions and it's not even 20 minutes in.

    Someone on Demonland and Hudson on Foxtel both reported it. 

    Yeah I was referring to Hudson.

    Hore should have punched then. He can intercept well when uncontested, but his actual defending on first few matches has been poor. We'll be far better off when he is out of the team and Lever returns.

    4-1 and we lost that contest. Defensive efforts are non existent today.

    Shambolic. A skeleton just beat 3 defenders. If you can call them defenders.

    We've leaked like a sieve all preseason. Hopefully we step up our defensive intensity come the real stuff, or we're going to be in for a rude shock and a drop down the ladder. Our mids are a super talented bunch, but they've still got to work hard both ways.

    Hunt as a forward looks great. 

    We may well have found his position. 

    He's too good of a talent for the FD not to have a position for him.  And he has the pace and goal kicking nous to play a couple of different roles in the forward line. 

    If you were an opposition defender he'd be a concern.

    Hands in the back rule already a farce. Took them 10 years to get the umpiring right now they’ve changed it again. 


    Spargo and Hunt looking good.

     

    Vanders could get a week for that

    • 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?
