Two turnig points: ANB dropping an uncontested mark. And Captain Viney passing up having a shot on goal to stem momentum.

Frost and O Mcdonald are not AFL footballers.

    Great kick Weid......theres a pulse

     

    Essendon has 7 goals from only 12 inside 50's this quarter.

    Someone needs to be held accountable. This is not an irregular stat.

    We have always had poor skills and been a fairly dumb side. Couple that with lazy and we are the worst team in the comp

    Maybe the player we traded in for the player we paid pick 2 on

    I can't even remember who that is.

    We traded Toumpas.... Three way trade I believe.... Pies involved?

    Pretty sure both Port and Geelong were close to that ratio as well.

    I have settled, and so have we. Number 1 draft pick here we come. We all know how much good that will do us!

    Melksham having a mare

    Why does he keep running under it?

    he was in perfect positio there and it was kicked straight to him and he ran himself into the worse possible position.


    7 goals from 12 inside 50’s this quarter. What pressure we are applying!

    what cr@p will Goodwin spew post game?

    What a transformation. Seriously WTF did we do over the off season? Gone backwards in both fitness and game plan

    Jeez the umpiring is how do I put this not indelicately , borderline corrupt 

    Why the [censored] would u kick sideways Weideman you [censored] [censored]!

    Not the difference but we're sure getting the rough end of the pineapple.

    He's looking for the body contact rather than just judging the flight of the ball. Needs to forget about taking great contested marks when he can take easy almost uncontested ones

    7 goals from 12 inside 50s. This is a common stat under Goodwin.

    • 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?
