Weiderman A fine line 

He kicks 2 or 3 goals and its a great game, absolutely shanked all 3 shots

Very harsh on Lockhart. He was actually pretty good tonight. Secured his spot for next week.

 

Wiedeman... KIck the [censored] GOALS

I know that's 4 but had to add the expletive

Goal Review System - Cost us dearly.

Yeah, we made a lot of mistakes and so did they but we were out and away when Lever took that mark.

Surely that review takes place while the game goes on and if it's not a mark then they bring it back...

Harsh on Fristch. Flew at everything. 6 touches , 4 score involvements, 2 goals. 

very limited opportunities after quarter time

Why are our ratings always so negative  ?? We were playing a top side tonight and with reasonable kicking at goal we would have won !!!!

Yes that hurt and someone has said it was the field umpire who called for the review, not the goalie! Is that true, if so it’s criminal. I will have to watch the replay tomorrow when I have calmed down. So many squandered opportunities with missed set shots and then a number of [censored] umpiring decisions, I need to review again to understand.

Pretty sure it was the goal umpire 'Earl'...either way it shouldn't have happened.

Even when you review you won't understand some of the umpiring decisions...I had a look multiple times at the first Pickett unfair tackle and it was a bump straight in the guts.

15 metre kicks were so inconsistent that even the commentators were joking about it.

You guess is as good as mine on any holding the ball decision, I reckon they toss a coin on that one.

Hocking has stuffed the game...umpires have lost all confidence.


Quite a few decisions against us tonight that were seemingly not unanimous, overruled or just not picked up at all, but we were playing against a Team that has to be given every chance to feature in a packed sell out come GF Time.....

I thought Lockhart was really good tonight, don't nderstand the hate

Agree I like the way Lockhart is going about it. Yes he makes mistakes but he takes the game on and the the way he moves sets up attacking counter attacks. The best thing is he seems to be getting better with every game and I hope he retains his willingness to attack. 

 

Joeboy - cut to mustard

Gawn - mastered by apprentice

Viney - kamikaze ball attack

Oliver -  skills upgrade urgent

Petracca - struggled for significance

Salem -  get hands dirty

Langdon - goal kicking bunny

Jones - great servant retire

May -  Hipwood influence negated

Melksham -  smart true boot

Lever - earned his keep

Harmes - five year contract!!!

Lockhart - emerging small defender

Hibberd - howler didn't help

Bennell - spotlight too bright

Brayshaw - rocket needs blast

Weideman - toss those boots

Fritsch - add michelin suit

Jackson - it's Jet Jackson

Jetta - got the Jones

McDonald - revisionism equals reality?

Hannan - beachball in Manly

Pickett - accelerator not connected

Goodwin - stale bread and...

MFC - muffins fluffed culpability

Umpires - return to sender

AFL - dump goal farce

Tarax Club - not happy campers

Lockhart definitely better than suggested and I thought Langdon was good, despite being one who missed a gettable set shot.

Have to agree. Also I was at game and he made some good positions when we had ball and our guys would not kick to him. Strange.

  • 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?

  • 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?
