Always had Hannan as a NQR

Take responsible and kick the [censored] goal weideman!

Turnover ... goal to the filth !

The skill level is embarrassing, give the MMD game to a decent team, we don’t deserve it

 

We were one game away from a Grand Final last year.

From that to this in less than a year.

 


McDonald can [censored] off with hos brother too. I am done with him too

The guys are going in hard. But i have never seen such poor basic skills from one side

 

Watson just referred to the skills (or absence thereof) of Melbourne to be the worst he's seen this season.

He said that after Hannan just dropped a chest mark.

It's pitiful.

 

I hate handballs to nowhere.


I'm beginning to think that Goodwin isn't the right coach going forward. And by going forward I mean right now.

Hannan still rusty. 

Hannan and Lever both got into the team,  without any displayed form,  or condition.   Both not ready for AFL.

224 DISPOSALS FOR  3 GOALS

Wow McDonald doesn't look like getting near it. Stands under the ball, can't take a contested mark and always seems to be in no man's land.

Can we please draft someone who can snap more than 20 metres. 

How dare you criticise Lord spargo ! 

This list is ok. I worry about the coaching. I know that's an ongoing theme, and the coaches don't tell Garlett to pass it off from 30m out (etc etc) we just have NO SYSTEM going forward. Don't talk to me about connection. This is about structures and habits. 


Skills are absolutely killing us. Intent is good - we wrestled control of the ball in that quarter but gee wizz. Hannan dropping it was just one example but was pretty typical of how we’re going.

Both Lever and May are only 1% off and looking better than I was expecting. Our defence as a whole looks reasonably well coordinated, they were just hammered. Reckon they’re why we’re closer than we might be.

I haven’t given up yet. I think we could steady and claw the lead back. Fingers crossed.

Totally devoid of skill. 

Cant kick or handball. 

Otherwise ok.

 

Melbourne needlessly rushing, loopy handballs over the top rather than kicks down the line to leading players.  Selling teammates into trouble, handballs to stationary players.

F50 entries have been woeful once again, but I haven’t seen anything resembling forward structure and leading patterns.  

Harmes from the boundary seems to be the only player with any kind of composure in traffic.  Thank god for Marty Hore.

McDonald looks completely out of sorts, and has benefitted Pies more than his own team so far.

  • 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?
