Great goal to the yellow guys,

some ...yellow/red/black

I can only distinguish Red& baby blue and the other guys with a bit of yellow.

We're in trouble!

Unless... the weapon is released to play his natural game

Mids keep it going forward

Free space/block/ruck it to ground/ create space and allow Harvey do his stuff

I'm most annoyed about the lack of 50 when we finally got a holding the ball free kick and Talia just drops the ball to the ground.

That was 50 every time. It’s pure cheating. 

I thought we had been stiff from the umpires to date....

This game is setting a whole new bench mark, this is just [censored].

I’m not looking forward to giving north pic 2 either. 

Oh yeah forgot about that... 

Playing for the spoon here boys. Deplorable how bad this team is. Salem so undisciplined and just plain crap.


Remember how we talk about how we're this 'competitive beast' team with too many inside mids?

We're getting done in clearances by the worst clearance team in the league.

 

 

Would it hurt for one of our players to stay on the outside of the contest instead of all running for the ball like it’s under 10’s? Also, [censored] the umpires.

How ANB gets a game I’ll never know. 

Who would you bring in Jaded when a small fwd goes out?


Is it still a thing where the captain can approach the umpires and stay what TF?

Saw that

And you can see the umpire saw it too, and thought about it, vut decided bot to pay it

Gutless is the word you're looking for?

Well Oliver is looking really good out there.

Bennell a waste of space, finished as a footballer lucky no draft picks involved.


In my 100% honest opinion I'd say we are a 10th place side. A perfectly average team. Nothing more, nothing less.

Dear Glen Bartlett,

If you want to do something to show this club is serious ask the AFL publicly to explain the free kick differential, and while you are at it ask them to explain the horrifically biased and one sided commentary we have to sit through as supporters.

Enough is enough. Collingwood wouldn’t accept it, and why should we?

Regards

Every [censored] Melbourne Supporter
 

Agree re the umpires. However we have done nothing to get any favourable commentary. Notwithstanding, McGuire and Brererton are vacuous nonentities.

What a pathetic display of footy. 

Our kicking in general, bar the odd one here and there (mostly to players 20 meters in the clear but even then it's a coin flip) is bloody awful.

Even senior players have no ability to finesse and just take a little power off, & pull a kick to a leading player.  It's horrid.  It's been a problem at this club for 50 years!

It looks that way, which means Josh Mahoney needs to go.

I'd bring in any bloke off the street.

He's legit the worst footballer that's ever pulled on this jumper.

We wish.

And Derwit has just explained why the sling tackle has become so 'standard'. The umpires paying ridiculous holding the ball frees has meant the ball carrier is desperate to get boot to ball when their arm is held, they lose control of their body. The tackler is desperate to prevent them from disposing of the ball and that is the best way to do it.

Gil, you have [censored] this sport and put players lives at risk. I hope you get your ars sued to kingdom come.

  • 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?
