Is Gawn struggling with the captaincy? 
He’s having a shocker.

The opposite of give a guy a rap.

First half pros & cons

Pros: Viney, Viney, Viney

Cons: how long you got?

 

Geez, I haven't seen Gawny play a game like this for ages. He seems crook or something.


Better but still wasteful. 

Surely Stafford is on thin ice.  no forward structure last season looks like its continuing here.

 

Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

Yeah something's off. Looks very lethargic.

Absolutely ****house!! Seems like the lads don't want to be there.

I'd wager most of them actually don't want to be there and I don't blame them. Pointless playing AFL under the circumstances.

Only three highlights. Performance of Viney, Lockhart and Pickett.

Performance of Gawn, brayshaw, TMac, Tomlinson, Oliver, Melksham, Brown, etc has been pathetic.

Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

I know it’s in fashion to beat on OMac but he’s been very good. Has done more than May and Lever


So many player’s disposals have been terrible, but Hibberd’s have been nothing short of damaging to us. 
 

I’m annoyed that this season stoppage is going to take the heat off Goodwin. He’ll likely stay coach till 2021, by sheer default. I cannot wait till we have a real one.

Oscar has kept Darling to 2 possessions 

Oliver, Brayshaw and Gawn are MIA.


After watching the first half, I'm certain the team has the coronavirus.

The symptoms are all there:

- Fatigue (walking around)

- Coughing (up the ball)

- Fever (explains the poor decision making)

Hoping for a full recovery in time to make the finals this year...

Honestly... Ive hated Goody's game plan since he implemented it. Can look amazing when it clicks. Dominating the game but bombing into the forward lines followed by the easiest transition for opposition goal is terrible to watch. So frustrating.

Remember when we had Paul Roos who was defence first and focused on reducing fumbles. Wtf happened to that? How did we 'transition' to this chaos ball rubbish?

My husband said he looks sick. Maybe he’s not well (no Corona jokes). But it’s the worse game I’ve seen him play for some time.

  • 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.

    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?
