GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs GWS

Garlett should retire at half time.  Brayshaw and Petracca suck.  Tom McDonald thinks hes  a superstar when hes not even close to one.

 

Goodwin has a lot to answer for.  Starting with selection. Another tall in Preuss to help Gawn and stretch their defense for example. Instead of another slow unskilled player.

    This is nothing but a training run for GWS, no pressure just a leisurely stroll at the MCG.

    [censored] Deesgrace. Play the rest of the kids, coz this year is done.

    Put Lever in cotton wool and send anyone that needs surgery in now for the start of pre season.

     

    Spargo 3 handball for the game.

    Masterstroke selection there Goody..

    Not switched on from the first bounce & yet again No name kids wearing weird Orange jumpers are pushing us around and bullying us like babies.  

    Nothing short of a line in the sand response in the 3rd quarter will do. Screw the fallout & consequences our existence is depending on this response.

    Chances of going goalless in the second half?

    even with injuries, nothing can excuse performances like this, and yet Goodwin and co continually do so.

    Head rots from the top and it is quickly infecting our playing group.

    This is just looking for a scapegoat. Sure, it's frustrating, but the problem is that half the team has hardly touched it, and when they have they've butchered it, not something something Goodwin or something something selection.

    Playing Preuss would not have made any worse that’s for sure 

    they probably will not review this game either. Know what we are doing wrong 

    every thing!  


    Forget the talk about our poor forward line and backline. Our heralded midfield is getting smashed. The worst display since the PF.

    Junk time hasn’t even commenced yet. Can’t believe my eyes that quarter, so many jogging around just pointing to GWS players.

    Yes, because we have so many players running round at Casey just crying out for selection.

    This is about as low as it gets. All the [censored] we’ve gone through, then get that [censored] tease glimmer of hope last year, to all hope completely gone again. That’s why MFCSS is real, it’s always too good to be true. 

    The hardest part about watching this rabble is how easy the opposition make it look. Even at our best we did things the hard way, it’s not sustainable. GWS having a training drill out there and we have no say in it. 

    Having a bunch of ordinary VFL players out there doesn’t help, but no system, no inspiration and next to no skill is just the most deflating [censored] I’ve seen in a long time. 

    We should be way past this sort of stuff. Monumental failure. 

    Start again before it becomes another decade of darkness.

    No Pruess is absolutely criminal.

    Our entry into the forward line is D grade Amateur footy level.

    Not a forward defensive bone in our line set up.

    I just removed Fritsch from my favourite players that’s how angry I am. 

    Cop that Bayley.

    Of course. We are horrible in every aspect. But we have one clear advantage today which is the ruck. Gawn is dominating and he has to spend so much time down back. Imagine if Preuss could do some ducking and Gawn could be a forward target for all those useless high bombs? 

     

    I was really disappointed pre season that other commitments would mean I would get to very few games this season but I bought my membership in hope and for support.  

    Sadly the club / team has dishonoured that support and I doubt it will come again soon

    Absolutely pathetic “effort” on the field and pathetic selections set it all up.  

    Where are the standards set by Roos and Jackson???

    Said at quarter time I couldn’t imagine us playing any worse. My bad.

    Well let’s reverse the situation and take 10 of their best 22 out and put our 10  back in, would there be a difference? 

    Aside from that our disposal is the worst in the AFL.

    Also none of our mids have had 10  possies in half a game. 

    Any wonder that this injury ravaged, non skilled team is being beaten by one of the most talented teams in the AFL.

    That is as positive as I can get.

     

    Swear I just saw Neeld in the back row of the box over Goodwin's shoulder. I swear it was him!

    Absolutely getting smashed with the ground balls.

    We are way off in intensity...

    • 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?

      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?
