Our forward line is complete puss.

T Mac is a slow, awkward doofus. Weed ain’t ready. Milkshake is badly out of sorts. Trac is a perennial disappointment. Our small forwards are...who are our small forwards again?

What we need is a strapping West Aussie who makes us walk an inch taller.

A day in the life ?

 

 

I'd like to join in on the complaining, but I haven't been watching sings 5mins into the 2nd, when we look flat as pancakes again.

 

What's worse is that @ding arrives on Monday, and I need to put up with his ranting when we lose again next week.

Bloody depressing.

Jetta has been absolutely putrid tonight!

The fact that I have so little faith in Goodwin only makes it worse. I hope like hell I am wrong, but god this feels like the beginning of another season from hell and I’m so tired. 

The crap this club continues to serve its supporters and members is a disgrace. 

 

You recall we won two finals last year right?

Bloody depressing.

Why would i rant when i have predicted both of our losses so far. I expected us to be poor.

P.S. lucky for us this narrow ground suits our game plan.

we Need to start looking to next year now. Put players out for surgeries and start the pre season. It already feels like they have written this year off with the amount of excuses already trotted out this puss club

    And the worst part? We have not a single good player waiting to come into this side in the near future. 

    Lever is weeks away. And other than Lever we haven’t got one player out who will make us a significantly better team. 


    Really shocking umpiring performance, how can you block someone from behind?

    Couldn't agree more.
    Didn't hear Hawthorn and Geelong complaining about short pre-seasons due to long finals campaigns and players off for surgeries when they were winning flags.

    Like every other decision that has gone their way.


    I hope we don't hear from Goodwin that "we didn't resemble ourselves".

    We did. Huge inside 50s with no result, done out the back again and again.

    That's  one of our classic losing modes.

    Did I mention no forward structure.

    Yes, it's wet.

    You hope to get four goals s quarter   Bloody not four goals for the whole game !

    16.5 on a wet night.

    This is "one of those games" where you can't do a thing wrong if you tried.

    We inspire that sort of form in our opponents, such is our limited ability at present.

     

    We won't be this bad all year.


    Vietnam war doco on history channel is interesting..

    This is atrocious, a cannot believe how many of our top players are out of form.  Good night all 

    They and we,  all fell for the positive fugazi during Preseason. 

     

    And we all made much of the fugazi ourselves,  selling ourselves our own hype.

    The players obviously believed it,  and are mentally under-prepared now,  and are playing catch-up,  Re confidence and also fitness,  because I think the Mfc fell into the same trap,  as we have.

    If only the conditions were nicer and the match was at the MCG...

    We have no efficiency and skill on the outside. This isn’t new, I’ve been saying it for years, but tonight highlights it.

    If we don’t smash teams around the ball, we are no chance.

    • 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?
