Atleast we'll get a pick sooner than Norf & Siddy next week. We should go for another dumb, slow, in and under with poor kicking style type to complement the rest.

    Yep. As the years have gone on I have become more and more detached. This club is such a disappointment it’s hard to keep caring. 

    Lowest half time score by any team this season. Melbourne keeps breaking those wonderful records.

    And to think I planned my September holidays around the finals fixture ??

    Im not far behind.

    Seriously wondering why I am paying a membership at this point.

     

    Our midfield is getting destroyed.

    I don’t know what the deal with Brayshaw is but he needs to be either rested or sent to Casey cause this is a joke performance. Viney not much better.

    Must be short and unable to take overhead marks.

    This is the outcome you get when you don't complete a full pre season.

    Farmer and Robbo walking the boundary 

    perhaps they should be playing 

    rather them than some who do not seem to care.  Take some angry pills Melb 


    Kane Cornes is saying his usual stuff about us on SEN which frankly we need to hear more of internally - there's something way off about us all year!

    Having watched him on tv the last couple of weeks (whereas I normally watch the game live), and he is just not going into contests. Refuses to bend, tackle, or raise his arms. Can’t break out of a jog. 

    I am going to assume he is injured but not badly enough to give him a rest considering our injury list right now.

    all those useless high bombs? 

    a) we're hardly getting it in there, high bombs or not and b) as you pointed out, they're useless.

    I get that we need "reasons", but thinking that we're getting slaughtered because one player wasn't selected is over-the-rainbow.

    We're getting slaughtered because half our team is out, and has been out since the beginning of the pre-season, and everything that flows from that.

    Correct. This is what happens when you do jack [censored] planning during pre season.

    Agree, but we have been miles off all year. Teams have also worked out our stoppage work and lack of leg speed around the contest.

    I would move heaven and earth to get Ben Brown. Our forwardline is an abomination alongside the rest of our team. 


    What a flaccid, unlikeable, heartless mess of a team the Demons are in 2019.

    The players don't care, they're not playing for the coach or the fans.  How do you go from 100 points a week to 1 goal in a half?

    It's like our mandate was to assemble a bunch of blokes with the lowest possible footy IQ and kicking skills the AFL has ever seen all on one list.  Shocking recruitment. Gawn, get out while you still can.

    This is the reason Misson is no more.

    Pay him out and set him free, nothing but a liability.

    • 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?
