Clear lift in effort in the middle that quarter. But still lost the CP count.

-12 CPs, -12 hit outs, even in clearances, but the telling stat, +12 in inside 50s for a 5-point lead.

Melksham's putting in yet another half-hearted shocker. Fritsch is nowhere. Jones took a quarter to get going. vandenBerg and Harmes are making too many errors. May's a step behind where he was last week. TMac's not a ruckman and not working into it.

Petracca, Weideman, Oliver and Lever are carrying us at the moment. We have a lot of room for improvement and should, if we have any self-respect, win this game well.

    Bring back O'Mac. He's a role-player, and the defensive structure seems to work that much better, which is where their goals are coming from (breakdowns in the backline).

    Spargo also playing a good game.

    But unfortunately you won't see that on here.

    Melksham our Captain? Really. Time to show us why.

    If people can't see how bad Tmac is then you need to get your eyes checked

    He is crazy slow and has very little confidence

    Thought Jonesy had a ripper quarter with some nice goal assists.

    Well done Weids, but gee he has missed some sitters. Seriously Goody must be so frustrated with miss after miss. 

     

     Im loving Spargo back in.

    Trac too strong as is Weid.

    Would like Milkshake and Fritta  to get involved more and the umps less.

    Was a great tackle before Pickett's goal, and has found space often as a receiver

    Big coming from me, I'm  a hater

    Spargo is a footballer in a team that plays rugby union

    We're 2 years too late.

    can still get someone for him

    Tmac would be a good player 10 years ago 

    Game is way too quick for him now 

    Soooooo many missed free kicks to us that quarter.  Kossie being held on to was so obvious.  Then how many times did we have them holding/dropping the ball and not have it paid.  Were taken high - play on.

    I know our goal kicking has let us down a bit, but for crying out loud.

    North do not deserve to be in this game.

    Jones really lifted that quarter.

    Can't say the same for skipper Melksham..

    Rivers also showing plenty.

    Good signs.  Great work by the weed, just him to get a good kicking routine for all angles (there were both to the left). 

     

    Maybe that umpires  (not sure what number) but maybe his whistle is broken and thats why we aren't getting fks


    That last goal they got was very annoying.

    Lever leaving his opponent, May not getting a fist to the ball and then Rivers not making the tackle. 

    All over them but unfortunately the scoreboard doesn't reflect it. If we want to make finals we need to take the percentage today.

    Honeslty Langdons kicking is dead average

    Same umpires as crows game same umpiring. 9-1 first quarter now 10-2 .

    That is fair enough Redleg but gee over the course of the year and even those games we've had some discipline issues.

     

    Spargo is finding space and using his strengths to advantage.

    Vision and delivery inside 50. It's a huge weakness in our game that he is capable of fixing if he is at his best

    enjoying his game.

    • 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?
