Amazing how many dumb footballers we have always trying to take the tackle instead of giving off first option.

We are a [censored] joke

    A lot of angry people here tonight...

    To be fair, though - it's a BIG ASK for 17 to beat 15th on the ladder. Clearly daylight between these two teams!

    And people shot down my thread about needing a rebuild. Love for those people to tell us now where our improvement is going to come from.

    Does the presence of his best mate, Jarred Roughead, in the crowd tell us that maybe this is Lewis’ last game in Melbourne?

    Yep, and Roaming Brian before game was a bit of a giveaway

    These players checked out a month ago , can’t wait for season to end.

    All that effort the last two seasons to rebuild our credibility, we are now a laughing stock again.

    3 goals in a half of footy, at home, against 15th on the ladder is pitiful.

    Yet we beat them earlier in the year.

    So, I'm not generally in the "sack Goodwin" camp, although I do think he's under massive pressure, but can someone explain something to me?

    Why pick one of the smallest teams ever, and then make the game plan slow and long down the line?

    It is the logic that is Goodwin.

    And that sums it up, but by all means blame the coach

    Poor efforts all round but at the end of the day he has to cop his share of blame.

    That worries me even more. We've gotten worse (remembering we had to 'gel' and get fit after not playing much footy in the off season).

    I know what you're saying, but our position is set in stone.

    This is a disgrace, completely ignoring basic structure as an AFL head coach.

    Really are we surprised with the team we have out there?

    4 midgets and we bomb it high and can’t stick a tackle.

    Very predictable.

    • 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?
