    41 inside 50s by half time. What’s the record again?

    Harmes on Fyffe now. Thank god!

    This was THE much needed move.  Thank Lucifer!

    Nowhere near it.

    It's the bottom 6/fringe players who are our undoing, especially when it comes to keeping possession (disposal). Wagner, Petty up one end, Hunt, Hannan the other. Throw in ANB, Baker, Frost ... just too many players who can't reliably hit another player by hand or foot.

    Plus Jetta/Lever/Hibberd/Melksham out really hurting us.

    A Preuss who can run out 2 and a bit quarters would be more valuable than T Mac who stops running midway thru 1st quarter

    He's been great, his evasive skills in traffic is top notch today.

    I know Tommy isn’t this kind of player but I’d love see him just smash a few packs if he’s struggling one on one, or on the lead

    I get that Goodwin  is probably just trying to help him regain confidence by publicly backing him, but this just cant continue if we want to win more games. Nobody should be untouchable when poor form is concerned, and Tommy has been rank all bloody year.

    Its a coaching/selection failure imo.

    Also perhaps one of those players who looks better at AFL level, rather than hurly burly of the lower leagues.

    Can we play that badly in the second half. 

    Hard to imagine a less functional forward line. Have only seen Hunt leading and he has not been able to hold his marks.

    Not sure if we have had a clean center clearance

     

    Stevie May’s contest stuff and short passing is top notch today. 

    Very clean user.

    • 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?
