It is [censored] infuriating. We give a free kick away on our attacking 50 and we are so pushed up that the Saints take 2 kicks and 5 seconds to be having a shot on goal. Richo was laying into us. 

Our defensive awareness forward of centre is getting progressively worse and has been an issue throughout Goodwin's reign.

what more can one say about this gameplan

 

Fritter in the forward half of the ground easily > Fritter in the defensive half. Can't believe it took this long to make that happen.

 

Well I’ll take it. 

If we can start defending, we might win this. 


so it really needs to be discussed. Do I know more about footy than Goodwin? I've been asking for fritsch to be played since day 1 and quite frankly I think its embarrassing that it took him 17 rounds to do it.

Nothing to do with the game plan. If the players don't work to position, that's what happens.

Lewis up forward is already a find for us.

Both Wagners need to go! 

Lack of fitness, arrogance, or laziness? Which makes us a worse defensive running side?

They've been ok Jaded IMO.  Limitations at the moment as early days but both play with intensity ar the footy and opponents.  Josh really dropped off from a reasonable start to the season then went back for a stint at Casey when higher rated opponents returned but thats what happens to inexperienced players.

Cory similar.  In for a few out for a few.

Takes a while to find feet at such a high level.  Lets see how they go for remainder of year eh.

You think it was a coincidence that when our back six returned from injury that Fritsch went fwd again?

Oh to make positional discoveries a mere 6 weeks before a player is due to retire. How useful.

I prefer to think of it a a low centre of gravity- he is so strong around the hips and rarely goes to ground

Nope.

After a couple of dud tunes, we have another for the victory playlist -

James Brown, Get on Up:

Starts with a goal to Fristsch, finishes just after Smith nails his.

 

So all our goals have been thanks to two mighty smooth songs so far.

Don't understand when you get a fast start why the hell you don't go doubly hard to make it a six goal advantage. Let them back far too easily. Lever, Lewis, Fritta, Clarry and Petracca have been good.


Why is Lingy yelling at us?

 

ANB just gets in the way.

  • 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?
