Great effort Hunty,  Turned it into a shot on goal.

    Im not sure taking a mark on the arc and immediately playing on into traffic is a good idea.  Just hold it up and take a long shot, find a shorter target or kick outside the square.  % forward plays rather than manic pls


    Baker having a poor game. TMac looking good again. We should win today.

    Loud calls for play on when its us with possession.  Only one or two half hearted "play on" calls when its Brisbane.  Then gestures with hands in air after as if thats enough for us..."i hope they are watching me!....if not too bad...the Brissy player can wait forever to dispose".

    And the AFL wonders why the fans are [censored] with the umpiring.

    As per usual dominate inside 50s, but can’t kick for goal. 

     

    2 nice throws from Rich and the player after there...nothing called.

    Getting destroyed in Centre clearances. Need to fix that quick smart at quarter time.

    been happening for a while. Not much use having a dominant ruckman if you can't set up for set plays. Much the same with Preuss at VFL level

    If every player in our side was fined for turning the ball over going inside 50 - they'd be playing for nothing. Salem would be the only player with coin.

    Smith and Harmes missing shots from 20-30 out. Not good enough. Deflates the whole team


    Clarry jogging behind an opponent. In the first quarter. Okay then.

    One problem with Bayley Fritsch, we don't have two of him.

    He's an excellent decision maker and user of the ball. He'll often open up the play with his kicks.

     

    Why do we insist on taking possession when about to be tackled  instead of tapping it into space away from opponent then running on to it or just kicking it off the ground up the line?

    God Salems disposal is just 1st class

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
