We are poorly skilled and yes lack a forward line.

 

I am listening to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. 

It lessens the feelings of dread that are building 

we don’t like odd years. It’s too hard to go again

    Anyone who saw either of our preseason games knew this was coming. We're going to be one of the easiest teams to beat this year. Bottom four looks likely, even though we might recover slightly by midyear and make a charge to the bottom reaches of the eight if we can tweak our gameplay and get Lever back.

     

    Just joined from WA.

    Why did Jones choose to kick into the wind after winning the toss?  We planning to come home with a wet sail?

     

    Easiest team in the AFL to score against. It’s wet FFS! Why are we letting them get so much easy ball? 


    Neal Bullen is a mouth breather. 

     

    we are going to lose this by 72+

    we have no idea how to get the ball forward whatsoever, and the amount of space they're getting is extraordinary in their forward 50

    bereft of idea

    There is no dropping the ball at Geelong Except when a Demon does it. 

    It is basically cheating

    We’ve gone backwards 3 years. This team looks like it’s trying but doesn’t have the skill or gameplan/game sense to be anything other than “competitive”. 

    Our main strength is contested ball and we’ve completely lost it. Teams have worked out how to position themselves to counter our kids at stoppages. Our season isn’t looking good.


    So I bought a new fishing rod and reel today.

    Time to get excited again about having the #1 draft pick :( 

    Petracca can [censored] off. Drops chest marks and slips basic tackles. He is playing [censored] football when he get sick near it, which isn’t often. Serious waste of talent. So disappointing.


    Wow. We’re not even vaguely competitive.

    • 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?
