We'd, Tmac and Jackson on the fwd line yet it felt like most of our kicks went towards Fritsch or Trac?

    Why the [censored] does this game have to be on a Thursday night when I can’t drink myself into oblivion?!

    Call in sick tomorrow. Be a good citizen. Never has calling in sick been more heroic.

    We've looked soooo slow since Jones was brought back in.

    Gifting charity games was where it all went down. Jones is rubbish

    We’ve been as bad as you can get but only 3 goals down. That’s a positive. But I’ve got nothing else.

    Hang in there - it's only the 1st quarter gone. 3 quarters to go...

    Only Jackson looks likely up forward.. 

    Yep.

    Doesn't panic with the ball.

    Its too much to ask that our so called quality players actually try something different other then bombing it in the F50

    I agree. I have left Jones alone to date but geez he looks off his best by some way. 

     

    wtf was that rubbish,why is tracc laughing about [censored] these prima donnas


    13 inside 50s in the first qtr for no goals, 3 talls doesn’t work 

    That was disgusting, last week we kicked ourselves out of the game in front of goal, tonight we have barely been able to string two kicks together and our kicks inside 50 were pathetic.

    We had so many good chances with leads missed, miss-matches ignored, and basic skills non-existent. We can bring it back if we pull our finger but that was some of the worst we've seen.

    Jackson was hit laces out, got both hands to it and spilt it...

    Port Players get the ball, then try to maintain possession for Port. 
    Dees players get the ball, then seem more concerned to get "meters gained", just keep moving the ball toward our goal, like schoolboy football, causing so many turnovers and lousy delivery to our forwards. 

    MFC intensity meter reading at about 1!

    Brayshaw is playing on a wing on Karl Amon.

    That BAD that the umpires are providing sympathy and tea. Copious frees and multiple fifty metre penalties have done little.

    Goody was sick of listening to us cry out for two tall forwards.

    His revenge is sticking three down there.

    Good move.

    Apparently Hodge is spending retirement in a pie factory.

    The reason we're only 3 goals behind is the short quarters

     

    This is the Richmond game all over again.

    Turnovers left, right and centre. Cannot compete with anyone, let alone the side on top of the ladder, if we keep turning it over.

    I would be the first person in Australia to call in sick for home schooling/work from home.

    • 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?
