It is pretty simple. Nobody saw it coming, everyone is confused about what happened, and to the extent that anyone can see where the problems are, they are practical and itemised and the general mood (outside this forum) is that the club is competently run and very actively setting about correcting the problems.

I know, right, maaaaadness!

 

The Media were the ones pumping us up all preseason so they would have to admit they are clueless. We just made finals last year with a young team. With two games to go in the season I was sure we wouldn’t make the finals again. Then we played some great footy in finals  

One expert said last week we were the team most experts expected to win the flag this year! Wtf. Talk about going too early. 

We will cope our share. But the league is so up and down. Crows in a gf then poor. Dogs win a flag then rubbish. It is not rare.

Apart from Melbourne Supporters, everyone else laughs at how useless this club is...

We were useless in the ‘70’s when i was at school. To the outsider absolutely nothing has changed....

Yep. I've been a member since the mid 60's (premium for more than 30 years}. In years past there's no way I'd miss a Vic game. I'm off to a party tonight. Won't bother looking at scores.

We're worse than irrelevant - we're a joke.

We have credits in the bank. Last years finals and the injuries this year. If this happens next year pressure will come early. 

I’m afraid of the injuries again. New high performance manager, hoping this change is only upside, but changes in schedules could bring about soft tissue injuries etc. 

i know it’s a W and L equation, but competitiveness will give Goodwin next year. The core of the group are still young.

Less scrutiny because:

  • Our story makes some sense.  Goody keeps things fairly level and doesn’t expose himself too much.
  • We don’t have 70,000 rabid members that buy copies of the Herald Sun to read the latest story
  • More rope - we are not at the point where the story will break the thing open.
  • The big stories are in the big clubs - the coaches going, Pies on the slide, resurgent Tiggers, Brisbane on the charge....etc.

Happy to be under the radar, get an easy draw and a high draft pick to set things to rights in 2020.

Solution : Offer Carlton our number 1 pick for Sam Walsh. Problem solved

The only thing better would be to trade with Adelaide and then offer Carlton their own top pick back.

  • 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?
