    Between both of your suggestions, we have a perfect club and we're ready for a tilt at the flag! I'm excited!

    Not really sure you can blame the coach for the players ability to [censored] it up so often.

    They are generating the opportunities so not really sure you can lay all of the blame with the coach

    All their goals came at the top of the goal square pretty much. 

    I can’t recall one difficult set shot they nailed.

    That’s a coaching thing.

    Oh for the days when we had guns around goal.

    Sad and embarrassing.

    Not playing Preuss to at least crash some packs and halve a few contests was criminal.

    Goodwin. Doubts doubts doubts.

    It's time that we reveal the worst kept secret in the world. TMac is injured and cannot compete.

    Other teams know this now and just run off him. Preuss, Keilty, T.Smith... anyone would be better right now.

    I'm glad that Goodwin didn't give up like I did earlier in the year, but it's time. Get the injured players rested. Reset for next year

    Rubbish. Besides, there's a team in Swaziland that's very, very bad.

    All about next season now, we have the rest of the season and the off season to fix this problem of not being able to kick scores.

    Gotta play guys like Dunkley, Lockhart and Preuss and try a few different things.

    " We knew if we could break even on the inside we'd get them on the outside"

    As ever... Been the case for a fair while. St Kilda this year and last year, Essendon etc etc

     

    This is coaching

    The whole f****** comp knows this. Every coach at every club ... even the players! ... know this. Except at one club.

    Fast becoming irrelevant and a laughing stock...once again!

    We can kiss 2020 off also IF...

    -  The list isn't culled severely; 

    -  We dont pick up a genuine KF, a small goal kicking crumber and a classy outside runner (with crazy pace) who can finish on goal also; and

    -  Goody doesn't add a possession game to our modus operandi

    It's clear we just need to attack the ball even harder.

    The same way we've been beat the last xxx years, smashed on the outside. Collingwood's defensive pressure was outstanding and we didn't match there, particularly on the spread

    The lowlight was having to report a scum supporter today for abuse. No idea if anyone will follow it up, but he was drunk and abusive and of course had a small child with him, because why not continue the cycle of being a filthy piece of dog [censored]?! 

    Anyway I thought our backline was good. The difference May and Lever made was immense. May was excellent. Lever got better as the game wore on. Hannan likewise. So nice to have some quality back in the side. 

    Gawn was superb was always. Grundy can clean his shoelaces as far as I’m concerned. A superb midfielder and leader. 

    Our contested work was good, but as has been the case all year, we have no purpose using the ball going forward of Centre. I don’t know what the game plan is, but it’s failing. Chaos ball is dead. 

    Speaking of dead, Tom McDonald’s career... what has happened? I would give him the rest of the year off and pop Preuss at FF. How much worse can it get?!!

    6.13 to 12.3 after quarter time.

    I'm giving Goodwin until round 8 next year. Can't see him surviving mich beyond this year after two of three years missing finals.

    This year was a failure after the Saint games. 

    He appears to have lost the players. Today was a sad sight.

    I agree, I think we should be in full 2020 mode. Even if we try a few things and fail, we can't do much worse than we already have. We might even learn some things for next year! And we can do it with no risk.

    The misery continues to be inflicted onto its suffering supporter base 55 yrs strong!

    20+ yr member & completely guttered on how this club finds a way over the cliff after tasting some success. Have witnessed this so many times late 80s, mid 90s, & 2000s. 

    Is it culture, development, game plan, just fed up watching garbage play!

    In no quarter did we kick more goals than points. after half time the pies kicked 9.0.

    We have no forward presence and no idea of where or how to deliver into the scoring zone..

    Preuss up forward would be great. He's tall, he presents, and he'll crash and bash, perfect.

    Also really dug Lever, May out back. Maxxy was 20 feet tall out there.

    Sorry about your neighbours out there, it's a real shame. The cycle is the worst bit.

    You have to feel positive about the fact that we can get the ball. But we cannot use it. The utter disrespect that Goodwin shows the wings at the MCG is embarrassing and makes him look like a moron.

    Nobody cares that we smash them in clearances because they know nobody on the outside can do anything with it.

    Shat me too. Gawn is the reigning All Australian ruckman. Gawn absolutely destroyed Grundy today. Gawn is the number 1 ranked player in the league at the moment according to afl website. The media should give him the respect he deserves as the unarguable and official premier ruckman in the league.

    • 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?
