The Petracca squib summed up his season thus far.

We need to win next week or it’s season over. Only 3 teams in 100+ years have won the flag from 0-3.

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

    Bit unfair though

    wet, surgeries, we forget how to resemble ourselves, we didn’t know when the season started, no one could get the BOM forecast  etc etc

    Petracca check your pants, little bit of poo will be in your undies

    Absolutely squibbed it. He has been awful. Not improving...a footballer going nowhere! I want him to be good but it ain’t happening

    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.

    Not really, no experienced Melbourne supporter believed all the media BS

    Barlett should have Pert ,Goodwin, Jones in for a coffee first thing tomorrow.

    Losing a home game to a non finalist followed up by this says there is something wrong somewhere.

     

     

    Goodwin will be full of excuses, because this club loooooves an excuse. We had a short pre season. Boo hoo. We played finals and now we are unfit. Boo hoo. 

    Cry me a [censored] river Melbourne. Let’s continue not to ever compete in September and have long and healthy pre seasons.

    Please advise - were any of them Melbourne

    We aren’t winning the flag this year no matter what.

    Start the rebuild again!

    Maybe we can grab one of WCE’s theee small forwards who are fast, tackle and provide pressure. 


    This is a good time to look for which players continue to fight it out, in this last Qtr...  and again next week.  To rise to the occasion and fight back for form.

    Those who turn up their toes in the next 5 Qtrs,  can go back to Casey for a month.

    This is a timely reminder to our infant supporters who just expected strong performances, after finals last year.

     

    Get in your lane kids..... This is more like the Dees we know.

    I’ll take Cory Wagner. Petracca needs a rocket 

    That's the answer? Wagner? FMD.

    Who replaces Lockhart? Who replaces Sparrow? Who replaces Frost? Who replaces ANB? Who replaces Jones? Who replaces KK?

    Replacing with a Wagner is just shuffling the deck chairs.

    I'm not saying you are wrong. It's just that replacing Trac is a luxury we can't afford at this time. I would love it if it was. I'm very disappointed with his output, just a bit more realistic than some others.

    Please surely you never seriously thought that was a possibility

    • 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?
