Night of passion with my boyfriend or watching this game in the hopes we could make an effort out of it. Gee I’m an idiot

Ā 

Petracca just did not go hard enough. That sums him up. Christian you are so frustrating.Ā 

Ugh next week is so so important. Massive, the loser will rightly so cop more heat.Ā 

Thank god I was out and only got home to watch the final term.Ā

Ho Hum.
S'pose we'll just have to redeem ourselvesĀ next week instead.


Ā 


Come on Dees. Get your s*** in a pile.

Playing like Freo did the year year after they first played finals. Not so much a Premiership hangover as a played finals one.

Prepared to cut KK and May some slack because it's their first game for us, but Tracc seriously needs a spell at CaseyĀ 

Pretty clear now with decent sampls size that were just not where we thought we were. ListĀ is youngĀ and seems to have far more gaps than we realised - WC started the misery and all clubs inc Bris have followed suit and showed us up for pace and with getting behind our back 6 consistently.Ā 

Much work to do to even salvage a top 8 spot let alone any grand delusions at this stage. Could be corrected by later in year but personally I cant see how. Cats went andĀ fixed their holes we’ve just viewed WC loss as a bad game and tried to doĀ same thing again without getting any fwd pressure in and a backman who we then play with two of the back men we wanted gone.. woeful and shame but it’s a LONG way off let’s not kid - we’re 8-13 at best I’d say.Ā 

Ā 

Hoped LW was aberration but gutĀ feelĀ was that it wasn’t - esp when blues nearly Knocked port off.. oh dear - we need 5-6 feisty pressure players at least over next year or two, or a miracle change in style.Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

Ā 

Too slow. Too unskilled.

We’re just not that good a side. We can play better than this but who would sayĀ our ceiling is as high as a team likeĀ Collingwood or WCE. We’re a mile off.

I also can’t helpĀ noticingĀ how much smaller we look than the oppo.Ā We look like a bunchĀ of shrimps comparedĀ to most sides.

There will be those that giggle and deride this thread as over -reactive. They'll say we need to review in cold light of tomorrow.

They're denialist. This is crud.

Actually...we aspire to crud. This is is devestational.

Even rubbish is useful if understood.

I ...just don't understand this club.

Nicely put.Ā 

For me this in many ways is more unacceptable than anything in the previous 8 years.

Now what I just saw is beyond a joke.

You recall we won two finals last year right?

I do and then when we came up against an actual contender we got flogged and we haven’t won a game since.Ā 

The team we beat in a final just flogged us like a dead horse.Ā 

We won nothing in 2018 and 2019 looks like it will be much the same.Ā 

Live ladder has us just above Norf forĀ wooden spoon with % of 47.4

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

Thats was a commitment act.Ā Ā  And he is not totally committed, and so is not fully focused, because of it.

He will never get any better as long as he does not fully commit to the team and to the game.Ā Ā  Tracca thinks far too much about tracca.

Ā 

Mind you, he has a few mates doing similar this season.

Fritta is disappointing so far.Ā  I think Fritta needs a spell at Casey.Ā  He is well off his own standards.

I would persevere with Hunt, but push him forward.

I wouldĀ  drop Petracca now with Fritta, so they both can sort themir heads out with the VFL.

Its time for Keilty, and Stretch again.

Keep Lockhart in.

Sparra back to Casey.

Ā 

I want to see a quicker running Mfc team next week, against the Bummers.


Um ...Hawkins had enough time to give away a goal - just stood in the goal square, waited for the second gamer to arrive, and give him the ball for a goal.

Cones at training do better than we are doing.

Oliver - star, never stop trying

Braywhaw, Hibberd, Melksham and a few others

Ā 

126 to 40 - and we have had nearly DOUBLE the inside 50s...

Shocking

The Soft Underbelly is still in charge...

This Club will go nowhere without more ruthless decisionsĀ 

this is just garbage

Check out round 4 last year.

We've had 72 to 48 inside 50s, cats have been super efficient, we will be fine.

  • 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 psychologistĀ  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 overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

  • 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.

    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?
