Rosee the new Brett Heady? 

 

 

6 rounds in and we are clear last on the ladder.

Let that sink in. 

Nathan Jones, Max Gawn, Jack Viney, Jordan Lewis, Tom Mcdonald, Nev Jetta, and Hibberd should be embarrassed. 

What a massive indictment on everything Roos and Jackson achieved. What a massive insult to the fans and what they've had to put up with.

What a [censored] disgrace. 

 

Yep folks, we are now on the bottom.  Extraordinary, hardly believable.

The title of a thread can be confusing at times, but this one is clear. Go whinge elsewhere.

The results of this round have pushed us to last. Better?

Totally agree. Years of being a basket case and getting top draft pick and where stone motherless last. Do club like Cats; Eagles, Hawks ever experience this humiliation. Shameful. As for Stephen May hang your head in shame

These ANZAC Services on before games, after ANZAC Day are just not right. 

Why does the AFL persist in such things?

don’t over do it...

With Easter and ANZAC Day so close this year it seems like everyone has taken the opportunity to treat the whole week as a holiday. The day (a solemn DAY of remembrance) has lost something with this continuation. Easter round was already long and drawn out. Thank goodness ANZAC Day falls on a Saturday next year.

Rosee, Butters and Duursma all look like good pick ups for Port

Three first round picks in the last draft! Looks like it’s transformed the team. I also note how well their no name backline played because they are organised and work as a unit. And we coughed up 3 first rounders for 2 key backs who can’t get on the park. Just an observation.

Agreed. Anzac Day was just swamped this year. 


Well, in this month's edition of Ben Cunnington is a sniping *****, we have some kind of Marvel-inspired dance-attack elbow to the face of Brad Ebert.

So... nearest the pin guesses what excuse the tribunal will find to downgrade it to a fine, or will he maybe even get a whole week this time?

Following on from the whack Robbie Gray in the guts move that had him off the ground earlier in the game.

Aaaand ... we’re last.

Feels like we just returned home after an overseas adventure.

Kids can play much earlier,  if they can find the space and time that suits them.   Always has been. 

More space effectively makes the game feel a little slower for them, compared to the congested flood of last year. They can feel their way more naturally.

Back in the 70's,  kids like Timmy Watson were playing VFL at 16Yrs of age,

 

The AFL's cocked up timing of changes really stuffed us,  as we were building for the game style of the past 8 Years.

Yep your right Range, i actually did and it feels just like that. Flat.

Seems like an age ago already that I looked at our team and thought we could win the whole thing. That was frikn August. When I look now we seem fully a mile off even being a goodish, ordinary team. 

In time we’ll find out exactly what happened in the summer of 18/19. I have a complex theory but it involves black magic and Voldemort.

Brad Scott's thin skin shows again:  :.. admits that stinging criticism from club greats could become a distraction for his team..."  "But it’s a fact that it can become a distraction. Particularly when a club that prides itself on being really tight and really strong has people nipping around the edges."  Carey and King criticise North

That is a startling admission and would imagine more distracting to his players knowing that their coach is taking on board what commentators say.  Commentators who are paid to create click bait. 

King and Carey aren't giving worse than we got from the likes of Lyon and Schwartz for a few years. 

Scott could learn a lot form Goodwin:  tell his team it is all 'fugazzi'!

Unfortunately it’s only fugazi if you start winning games.

  • 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.

    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?
