    Hannan, Anb, Lockhart, Jetta, Dunkley, pruess were non existent to horrible. Hard to win with 25% of your team handicapping you

    My kneejerk reaction is that Brayshaw is tradeable and ANB certainly is. FFS play Bedford and see what he can do and Petty had a break out game.

    Hannan woeful. Unsighted all day

    ANB. Can't accept him in the team any longer.

    Neville. Very poor, well off the pace.

    Hibberd missing for 2 1/2 qtrs

    Brayshaw. Did nothing all day.

    Lever. Underdone.

    Jones. I am done with you. The poorest captains game you are likely to see. Could barely keep his feet.

    May did well. Excitedto see Petty fwd.

    Fritsch is a shell of the footballer from 2 yrs ago.

    Lewis, just kick the ball instead of handballing to a stationary target.

    Our positioning at the contest is truly pathetic. We continually allow the oppsition free space while we send 3 players to the ball. Insanely dumb footballers and coaching

    2019 can just [censored] off.

    Max was crucified by the umpires - something has to be said. How he doesn’t lose it each week is beyond me.

    Gripping game - a real arm wrestle. Low skills but super tightly contested. Never really felt like we might win, but never felt like they were going to skip away either. 

    Loved Petty as a temporary forward - it’s definitely an option to continue to explore for the rest of the year. Development year, so what better time?

    Goodwin rolled the dice moving May forward and it nearly worked. He is such a beast. I’m a huge fan.

    Preuss has ten thumbs. He actually reminds me of pre-breakout Gawn. He WILL be a useful tandem with Gawn, but isn’t yet. Also Gawn was no good when not in the ruck.

    All in all, just another loss really.

    Certainly did well for the tackle but that kick from Gus sums up our whole year.  Half good..half shizenhouzen.

    So many NQRs we are carrying (for whatever reason) week after week.

    Pressure has been better the last three weeks from some but too many give it up far too easily and we get burnt on the rebound.

    Cant string more than one win together through a series of injuries, poor form, a lack of class/finish and horrid game style/forward quality including forward method & personel.

    Maybe next year!  Where have i heard that before. Nearly five decades of saying that now sadly.

    We fumble so so often and we try and tackle with just our arms instead of getting our bodies behind it and they waltzed on through.

    About as good as it gets for Melbourne these days. Great effort and endeavour.

    Score a good reflection of the game. Lever and Jetta will be better for the run, makeshift forward line was always going to be stretched, but once again, too many players out, too little consistency in the team we're putting on the park and still too many (fringe) players where chains of possession break down.

    Against that, a good opportunity for younger players, and Petty did well, working to his strengths. 

    Final point: Steven May. Bag him all you want, but showed what real, take the game by the scruff of the neck leadership looks like.

    Bit harsh on Lockhart, looked like he was doing a job on Johannisen and kept him relatively quiet. The rest agree on.

    MFC are just soul destroying.

    Sloppy in going forward, sloppy in close, sloppy 'myrical' handballing when not necessary, sloppy attempting to mark in packs - and sloppy umpiring when held, pushed out, blocking.

    • 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?
