Didn't realise Brayshaw and Oliver were late outs? 

I swear to god they didn’t touch the footy this game.

We are stuffed. We look completely devoid of any confidence and poise. Lost all our contested ball winning aggression. This season looks gone.

Jones is finished. I’m sorry mate but if you can’t snap for goal on your left from 40 out and even get it to the goal square then it’s time to move on.

 

I've lost my stream but sounds like they're out of sorts

Poor mental strength. It's either 'panic stations' or if they've managed to put together some nice play for a while it's 'all good now, so let's ease off'

DO WE HAVE A MIDFIELD OUT THERE??!!

Is Viney playing?

Nah, haven’t seen the real Jack for nearly three years now.

This is going to turn ugly, we are now playing without a midfield. 

Still not winning ball at the contest. Where's the hardness gone ?

 

Swans get 3 soft goals due to our fumbling turnovers. Max keeps putting it down Swans players throats in the middle & who is playing on Alir Alir? Make him accountable FFS.

    There fixed it.

    Mids need to lift.  No doubt about it. 

    On the flip side we took our chances when we were presented with them.  We haven't done that at all this season, so that was good to see.

    Our two way running still needs work, especially with their run and carry from half back.  We aren't playing well, but plenty of players can improve.  Not over yet.

    He’s doing a lot of faux tough guy fighting. 

    We have awful leadership.

    Sydney's highest score in 12 games is 93... we give up 34 [censored] points in a quarter. Hore and Fritta only two defenders that can hold their head high

    Our intensity is gone. Our midfield is shot. Our season is on a knifes edge here.

    We look a bit scared again. Don't want contact and crapping ourselves and going to ground constantly.

    Hate to say it but we've reverted to type this season...back to the bruise free Demons. Last year was an aberration on the physicality front (even then it wavered at times). 

    Seriously..... we just chip the ball into the 50 with no attempt to spot anyone up... no leads! Can’t understand it.

    Horrible start to this game.

    Pruess, Max and Hore look ok... that’s about it so far ?


    Letting Sydney score 5 goals for the quarter when they look as rubbish as we do. Well done. 

    How long does someone get to correct how easily we get scored against?

    Reckon Roos would take the job again?

    They watered the ground before the game despite it raining in Sydney for months

    Tactic!

    Our hands are woeful in the dry,  we're f...d in the wet

    We’re so reactive.

    WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS??

     

    They have almost 110 touches to quarter time. Double ours.

    They have 13 shots on goal from 17 entries. 9 scores from 17 entries.

    They have double our uncontested possessions. 

    They have 13 more contested possessions.

    Despite having so much more of the ball, they have laid as many tackles.

    That was an annihilation.

    To be fair, the kick was on his non-preferred, so it's to be expected.

    • 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?
