We’re lucky Hawthorn are shizenhouzen. Need Jeffy to slot a couple, he’s been looking almost there.

Our effort vs reward has to be the worst in the league. Too many unskilled footballers lacking smarts.

...and then we run out of juice.

 

It's not the skills per se, they have the skills. It's the between-the-ears-skills, the lack of confidence, the second guessing, the don't-[censored]-this-upping, the pressure (perceived or otherwise) ... every player is only too aware of what's not working, and the pressure and expectation that that brings is almost impossible to ignore.

The big mindf*ck.

Trac’s set shots are laughably bad for an afl footballer. He’s been good otherwise and has an impact whenever he is near the ball. Time to start getting him up into the midfield instead and play to his strength.

Our set shots in general have been poor all year. We don’t seem to have anyone who can reliably kick straight. TMac did last year, but he doesn’t touch the ball anymore...

Garlett has been dangerous. He’s generated more opportunities today than all our other forwards combined have all season!

I don’t want to labor it but Trac “looking dangerous” and actually doing something of value over an entire game or season are two completely different things.

He doesn’t work hard enough/isn’t fit enough/not good enough to play midfield or he would be by this time in his career.

If you're posting from the ground then it's the 4G networks fault. 

You sure it’s not that “server issue” you mentioned during the week?

I don’t like to bag players too much but I’m really not sure what ANB contributes. Hope he has a big second half but he is so fumbly. Just runs around doing nothing 

Terribly out of form like so many.  Cupboard bare at Casey

when we knock it out in a tackle its holding the man. When they knock it out on us its dropping the ball

Yep from watching on TV they can dispose of it how they want whilst being tackled, they also throw it a hell of a lot. 


Yahoo!  Forward line had outnumbers and win ground ball ....can't recall that in a while

Jeffy's too scared to have a shot off his own boot now after that earlier effort........not a bad thing.


2nd time...first Joe the Goose in like what seems like forever!  T-mac first mark in a while also

T Mac’s skills are just...not good.

is he playing with injections to a foot ?

 

I just realised I paused the game earlier and was 3 minutes behind. I was wondering why comments weren’t making much sense.

Jefffyyyyy!

  • 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?
