I'm amazed at how often we burn a player in space and go long to a contest instead. It seems every kick-in we'll have a player free straight up the ground at around the 45, and ignore him to go down the line to a contest. Incredible.

    People we have the wrong coach & over invested in 2 defenders who can’t defend the goal line on 2 occasions! We now have Gc , Carlton, saints, Nth who have gone passed us again .. a disgrace after a decade of pain & early picks it’s like 2010 replay

    We've just got to change the coach.  Players careers will be over before they know it, without any inspiration or leadership to get them through it with any sustained success.  

    We can't let this go on, it's the way we're playing that's just devoid of any spirit or confidence.

    After today I’m pretty confident we will have a new coach next year if we are serious


    Smith has looked better today. Amazing what can happen with a little bit of sorely needed game time.

     

    Save for one non free on Tmac, umps have been very favorable to us.

    Put Daisy Pearce in the box. 

    Yep. Her earlier suggestion about keeping Petracca in the forward line was a good one too. 

    are they drilled to man up?  are they drilled to find a team-mate?  where's the connection between max and the runners?  They've had a lot of time to get these things sorted.  Does Goodwin know what our players are skilled at?  

    not worth watching - so utterly predictable.  And our blokes still guard the space where only a miskick will go; still wear themselves out chasing after the bolted horse.  Geelong is laughing at us  The whole competition is.  Goodwin, this is you

    My favourite player already.


    Milkshake tries to steal a third miss for the quarter but is denied by Hunt.

    Seriously our back line is taking the [censored]. Thank god they dropped Jetta. Our only defender who isn’t busy trying to be a show pony and actually defends!

    This this and this.

    When Geelong have the ball you'd swear our players were instructed not to go near a player. Laziest bunch of idiots to play the game.


    Oliver barely even jogging on the transition. I pray that the coaches start to tell him that this isnt on. He really has to work on his defensive running to become a great player. 

    Really disappointed.

    • 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?
