1 contested mark in 3 quarters of footy. Has to be some sort of record, our boys really hate the physicality of going for contested grabs.

    Pushing rope out there, seriously.

    Maybe they are saving all their skills for the final quarter?

    Or it could be like an election tribute - a sort of round-by-round gerrymander where for each game they do just enough to barely, unimpressively win, and yet on a general support of 51% come away with every seat in parliament...

    Or not.

    Neeld called to say we are [censored] and his teams would spank this rabble.

    Let's not get carried away.

    Is Gus ok? I ask this because I have never seen him play worse. I actually worry he may have got a hit in the head and is not 100%? 

    Watching this is like poking my eye out with scissors. Painful and unnecessary.

    Chris Dawes called, he wants his hands back.

    We are not a good team this year, we honestly look like a bottom 4 team that is trying to remember how to win. 

    Both teams appear to be void of clear rational thinkers, so much blazing away when calm good ball use is needed. 

    I feel like we’re watching two of the worst current teams in the AFL.

    Garlett made no attempt to mark that before it went out on the full. 

    It was over the line and he was trying to stay inside while marking...cant see what else he was supposed to try and do with an overweighted kick

    Wow.... How do you blokes watch these guys live most weeks? Our skills are so bad, literally perfect conditions here, no condensation, no wind, not hot.

    The amount of times our players run under the ball is gross


    Looking at that scoreline you would think we are playing in a mud pit, but instead its almost perfect conditions.

    and tmac everyone forgets how bad he was playing down back caught a few teams out playing forward now he has been found out and is playing like the tmac we all know


    Can’t make the distance from 20m out. Kicks a goal from 55m out.

    • 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?

      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?
