Fritsch and Lockhart cost us huge this last quarter, back to Casey for them


Just too many players who drop marks or miss handballs and kicks or make poor decisions.

Oliver had 2 handball clangers in a row which led to an Eagles goal.

Frost makes a great tackle then turns it straight over. How long has he been in the system?

Petracca drops marks and misses easy shots.

Garlett misses easy shots.

Hore takes a great intercept mark then squares to CHB and turns it over. His kicking is not reliable enough to ever take that kick.

Set shots terrible.

Repeat ad nauseum.

Season gone.

Whole footy department should be under pressure. Coaches and players. What a waste.

    I’ve said it before.

    Our team is full of dumb/plain footballers. Not ‘game smart’.

    Still loved the effort but there were so many opportunities tonight where we just needed to do simple ‘team’ things that we weren’t able to do.

    Not to mention bad kicking for goal.

    Post game thread will be toxic but with this list, their ground and their umps - heads high

    Typical Melbourne supporters. Act like we're a great chance after the hawthorn game, some of you should be so embarrassed by being 'excited' about the win

    Then you praise Frost and suggest he is loyal and many suggest he is ahead of May

    The year is over, accept it, move on and stop blaming the umpires when we are [censored] and inaccurate 

     

    If good players can’t  kick straight at goal they aren’t good players. Simple fact.

    mot the umps fault, our own for missing far too many easy goals

    Looking to see Rioli rubbed out for his concussion causing sling tackle on Smith

    Smith back on, but has to be careless and medium impact given he was down for a while and went off for concussion test. 


    Seriously, Melbourne must send a please explain to the AFL about poor umpiring

    Bad kicking is always a killer

    Fix it Goodwin

    Spot on, the reason we lost

    • 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?
