NO FORWARDLINE 

no backline lever is the biggest spud ever would have alister nichalson rather than him

 

Time for a green tin.

I count ONE contested mark inside out forward 50 so far today. 

It's time to play a big body ( May?) at CHF and try and clunk some marks to at least keep the ball in there for more than 20 seconds or so.  Tommo to Lynch pls.

Oliver’s disposal today has been abysmal.

It has been for 2 years, most people just turn a blind eye to him here.


Levers running is so lazy. Got himself caught in no mans land then and allowed dusty to kick under no pressure 

Another goal less quarter. How many times !!

We're unwatchable. I'd say call the season off but we'd be the same in 9 months time anyway.

 

Can someone remind me the reasoning behind our forward line.  It isn't forward pressure  ball goes in straight out score

He is by far and wide the worst recruit we've had

5 free to 4 in our favour. Although sometimes it’s the frees not paid. 

The Petracca one that handed them a goal was a shocker. The umpire even admitted no prior opportunity! Pathetic!

I’ll say what I said earlier this week, Pickett isn’t ready

You say this straight after his amazing 3 defensive efforts at half forward?  Not many will be agreeing with you on this one ?

Stopped watching. Will collect on bet on Richmond (Sportsbet) ... more than 6 points up at half time. 

this is 100% structural. we do the same [censored] thing every single time. EVERY SINGLE TIME. we then get absolutely smoked on the transition against decent teams. This is a football lesson.

Goodwin is out of his element coaching at AFL level. This is 90s-era football being coached in a completely different football era.

He's a [censored] Muppet.

Needs to be dropped.

Disposal ha ha ha. Not under 10’s standard. 
Oliver not a disposal to us. 
VDB can’t run or take possession.

  • 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?
