    We are always one on four or five. 
    Horrible lack of accountability.

    Disagree.  In fact, I reckon we were the slightly better side... except for the turnovers which killed us.  If we cut those down by half we would be two goals in front.

    but we're not. you could say that about a majority of our games the past 18 months. this isn't an uncommon issue. it's a consistent theme. turnovers are symbolic of the broader issues.

     

    Everytime Gawn gets the ball he turns it over.

    Pickett is out of his depth.

    Bennell has looked classy.

    Viney best of midfielders.

    True, and this is terribly easy for me to say, but take that away and we're the better side.  It's a massive thing though so it's difficult to justify, but I think around the ground we've been better.

     

    Now it may just be me, but I thought there were a lot of looks when Goodwin was speaking that suggested 'weve heard this before...'

    [censored] off with Weideman copping holding the ball then missing out on our 2 clear free kicks.

    Square up there.

    Kozzie getting the dodgiest free kick of the round there.  Bit of a square up for the five they missed earlier.

    Sounds like we've got the crowd on our side. 

    Not hard against GC

    Reminds me of the one bloke near the mic when we play over in Adelaide celebrating every goal.  Love it.

    I don't care what the commentators say about the Pickett free. Makes up for all the ones we don't get in our forward line. 

    This  HTB rule change is a calamity

    • 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?
