Relax everyone. We are dominating inside 50’s and we all know that’s a great indicator of the outcome.

?

Ha ha.

 

Gawn is a superstar best ruck in the league. Langdon and Salem playing well. We need to take the most of our opportunities up forward great to see Weid take a good mark unfortunately T.Mac isn't there to help him out.

    Kozzy...anyone think he has done anything to deserve a game this season? Been selected on potential and is providing little to no pressure around the forward line

    A bit harsh to say he provides little pressure. Clearly our best pressure forward and should have had a free kick inside 50 that quarter for his tackles. Has faded off after a solid round 1 performance and getting multiple scoring opportunities in the pre season. Might need a week or two off

    We have come a long way when bringing in Omac and then Tmac not playing makes us better.

    Hannan and VDB very quiet.

    Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score. 

    This is what drives me obviously crazy in the coconut. Why does one little misuse and then bam! I feel like we're always working on a scaffold at a construction site with no safety rail behind us.

    Much better than previous weeks and the structure sooo much better with Omac and Weid in!! Shame about TMac as it forces this to change.

    Lockhart no touches and one free kick against, currently -3 rating points...

    Because every other team supporter would say the exact same thing about their team when that occurs...

    Give him time Leon.

    When was the last time we saw a Melb player draw a kick when pretending to shoot at goal, hitting up a mid/forward leading into opportunistic space between 3 opposition players, leaving them scratching their heads?

    Same as Rivers this week


    Who cares about Lockhart, plays down back and as long as his man doesn't kick a bag it's fine 

    AVB, Melk and Hannan are all a true worry

    Can’t win with Melksham, Hannan, Pickett, Jetta, Lockhart and AVB with essentially no stats.

    AVB was magnificent. WTF are you talking about.

    • 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?

      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?
