Trac you absolute star.  That's the way to grab a game by the scruff of its neck!

FFS Jones.   If you can't see a forward target then why call for the handball receive?  Then kick to nothing?

This is our most senior player, what hope do we have if that's the example?

2 goal turnaround FFS

Also he was running to his non-preferred side which was silly.

 

Take away their momention  

That is EXACTLY what we needed and need Petracca to be. Someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck when its in the balance.

    Why the hell do we drop off so much? 

    Its all mental.... need to fix the culture and expectation to what we do for the whole game, not in a burst.

    Is it premature to call Omac in for Smith next week...?

    Disposals been so sloppy

    Our kicking skills remain our biggest issue. Terrible

    We still can’t find a tall forward.

    Tmac still can’t mark the ball, and Jackson is too raw.

    Thank god for Petracca and Oliver

    Nope, Smith has been pretty disappointing in my books

    What happened to looking before kicking? Disappointed by the blind possessions that quarter. 

     

    1st = quarter 2018

    So far everything after that = 2019

    They are killing us in the centre and this should be closer.

    • 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?
