Whose the touted #1 draft pick this year? We are already missing hogan 

 

So many key player a out of form. Gawn has been woeful. Has he drunk too much bath water?

 

Working much harder , winning clearances and inside 50s but zero luck.

Melbourne: 15 inside 50s. 0.4

Geelong: 3 insides 50s. 3.0

    And to add salt to our wounds, the umpires are of course incredibly rigged and ripping us a new one

    Even Richo is non plussed.

    I wasn’t expecting us to win this,  it gee whizz. They are giving us a flogging. Boyfriends already called it a night and went to bed, so I have to watch this in my own with no moral support

    Why do we bother


    No forward defensive pressure.  We are putrid.  Hey Goodwin what’s your damn excuse now!!

    Front on contact not paid. Umps clearly not happy with being questioned over last week and Max.

    We’d lose regardless, but terrible umpiring

    4 inside 50s. 4 goals.

    If only we had spent 3 1st round draft picks to shore up our defence so we could rebound.

    • 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?
