    FFS. We have 1, read 1, Injury. 

     Goodwin can’t survive this year as Coach. 

    I've never heard a club hide behind injuries as much as we did last season. What's their excuse going to be in 2020?

    Is Goodwin still at the ground? Has he been in the bog taking a [censored] for the last 90 minutes? What is going on?! Do something you pelican!

    What do you expect him to do?

    He's got Fritsch on a wing, Viney in the forward line, TMac higher up the ground.

    What do you want?

    It's systemic change from him we need, not gameday flipping of magnets.

    Wow, Adelaide have a game to look forward to.

    Has a winless team ever started favourite?

    I actually have a feeling a winless GWS team years ago were favourites against us in the Neeld years

    I actually think Sparrow is going OK. Lever is our best, no point pointing finger at forward line that last passage was the only clean ball inside 50 tonight

    Goodwin will hang his hat on that play as being the Melbourne Way. 

     You can’t just do that once. Do it for 4 quarters Goodwin or go home with the Port players. 

     We need a coach that knows what he’s doing and can put a rocket up the players.

    Nine do going into round 1.

    Overrated pea hearts.

    Another year wasted.

    He was great before his ACL with us... But geese he is too slow to play on a small, to weak to play on the big boys. If he isn't intercept marking he is a liability 

    he wasn't even that good. He just guarded grass at adelaide

    This is one of those teams that constantly seems to be a thorn in our side. It’s time to make a statement and to bloody their noses (metaphorically of course).

    Ha ha.!

    Lockhart, Lever and Petracca the only ones to break even.

    Gawn, Viney, McDonald are not leaders' bootlaces.

    Ha ha this is like our best side! 

    Same [censored]. Running under the ball. Missed short handballs poor turnovers lazy mids no system 4 around the ball

    Crap umpiring

    Pack your bags Goodwin [censored] hopeless

    Our percentage actually meant we were still a chance, even if we lost tonight. So much for that!

    I’ve got low standards, but this is one of the most pathetic performances I’ve seen.

    Tell me why I should keep believing in us. Please. Surely we as supporters need to stick together through thick and thin. But we all need to know that we are not alone - that we hold true to something that we have stuck to, thick and thin for decades. is it a delusional idea to be believe in a Melbourne Premiership in our lifetimes or is it best to give up and play tiddly winks instead. I certainly vote for the former. The game's not over but I hear the fat lady singing...what is the name of that song?

    You're a young fella aren't you?

    We've had a couple of false dawns in almost 6 decades. Don't waste your time. The Hawks will have a full rebuild and start winning multiple flags again before our blokes realise we have a coach who is taking us backwards.

    Any chance we might switch?

    Haven't looked to do it all night.

    Complete lack of work rate the entire game.

    The most hollow I've felt since the West Coast game. Thank goodness I've got Demonland for my mental health.

    Fraudulent is a good word for this. Our club. Our coach. Our supposed culture.

    I recall that game in 2013.

    We lost to a 0-17 GWS in Sydney and not one person was surprised by the result.

    This is exactly the issue, we have to win contested ball to win the game. Every other club has different methods. Embarrassing.

    • 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?

      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?
