Slow start when we kicked badly and flat finish in the last where they kicked 4.3 to our 1.2 but on the whole we played well.

Good to see the switch across half back and the tempo changes.  We lost but a lot to like for the last few games of the season.

Huge game by Clarrie and Fritsch not far behind.

 

Our 4th Quarter fitness is an indictment on Missons tenure at the Dees. 

God i hate West Coast.

Great to see Lever taking those intercept marks


Like last week and many other games this season no matter how competitive and strong we are during the game we toss it away in the last quarter. We rarely look like winners at the death.

We had a really good stab at it, a lot of things worked for us. 

An encouraging performance, but ultimately not there yet.

 

Missed easy goals again. Petty, lewis missed 2 each they should have kicked and max again missed a sitter. 

4th quarter we just couldn't kick goals

The game was lost when that (censored) umpire gave a free against Max for trying to mark the ball. Terrible decision. Blind.

I’m sick of saying this ..... but..... we were our own worst enemies 

AGAIN!!!!!

Yep we were not good enough to win.

Some good signs but bitters sums it up wellm

Disappointing 


We were ok but have lost the confidence to take the game on when it’s there to be won

Hands down our biggest issue.

This.

Also, skills. Also, both of those: experience.

Preuss.

Laughable that some on here questioned the FD’s decision not to pick him earlier this season. The least fittest bloke on our list by a mile. Todd Viney would have beaten him in the 3km time trial.

Fritsch up forward is a game changer.

Begs belief why he was down back for so long.

Wagner (Older) did well as well I thought, was hard at it in contests winning several.

Brayshaw did well keeping Yeo quiet, maybe that was the trade off of him going back into the center.

Petty worth continuing up forward, Lewis also. 

Poor games from Preuss, Lockhart and female umpire

To continue the theme of patting myself on the back: exactly as I said last week. Has ten thumbs. Not AFL tandem-ruck quality until rectified.

I wonder what all the posters that were saying he would make a difference think now.

Er, i didn't see it - what happened?

  • 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?
