Brisbane playing out of their skin and we are average... yet we're just 8 points down.  Goes to show how much better we can be, and how good we are even when we're not on.

I read the forum before checking the score. I presumed we were down by 40+ points...

 

Brayshaw! God his kicking is frustrating.

Backline is complete trash 

Oliver on Hipwood. How are we constantly out of position like that? Where’s May?

Mids can’t hit a target except Salem. 

 

[censored] I wish Brayshaw could kick!


Joel Smith has had a positive second term.  Great goal on the run and some good pressure forward.  Anyone think he is a legit chance for Round 1?

Frustrating is overstating it 

It is sh!|house

Edit ... should I eat my words on that goal... hmmm

Agreed Travis. J Smith thinks he's a world beater, he's about 4/5th in line when it comes to our tall forwards.

I'd like to see Weed get more aggressive though, and tell him to keep out of his space.

We were half way there before we decided to play some football GB.

Does some really dumb things however also has some elite attributes. 

I hope he makes our round 1 team.

We are two points down.  But, apparently, our backline is trash, they're running rings around us and we are stinking it up completely.  Can't wait to see when we're on, we'll win games by 150 points.

What happened to the holding the ball rule?

JHK walking in the rooms. Great news.

Hasn't done anything dumb today in my book.  Looks terrific out there across half forward.

J Smith is an athlete with a poor football brain. He does some nice things, but mostly just impedes our other tall forwards and flies for marks he'll never take and removes himself from the contest by being unable to follow up defensible. He's got some good attributes, but he's depth at best IMO.

  • 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?
