Good while it lasted. Dogs just way too quick and our gameplan too one dimensional. you just knew after they interview Beveridge at half time that they would change things up. 

Every single time they get it out of our forward line they have 2-3 players lining up. 

If you can get loose across half back vs Melbourne = you win. Typically means you're fast enough to get space which means you're fast enough to transition. 

May and Lever saved us today from a real belting.

Why do our defenders all run to the contest and leave Wallis unattended time after time?````````

Whenever we lose, you notice Fritsch missing regularly. Just for the record.

 

Sparrows done a shoulder.... Weid refuses to play in front.  We just dont know how to bottle a match up when the opp gets a run on and our forward  half pressure is non existent.

Pickett, T-Mac & Spargo have been bog ordinary so far.  If you cant get the pill as a small forwars as a bare minimum you must force the odd turnover.

Dog player handballs it over the line...no one from Melbourne remonstrated....no deliberate.  Such an amateur club with the little things and no voice of leadership on the park

They always have 4,5,6 players around the ball.

 


Predictable at game not over clearly have scoring end in last qtr


Goodwin is so crap. send someone to bontempelli ffs. we clearly haven't addressed any of the defensive accountability stuff. 

If I see one more touched off the boot... JESUS!   Kids stuff!  


Far out we need this Melksham.

Only shows up around Junk time.

He's a liability 

We are getting the ball in the wrong spots. Always on a tight angle. Beveridge coached well to force us off centre.

And 4, 5, 6 out in space. They are well drilled, we aren’t. If plan A ain’t working we don’t know what to do


Inside 50 count is 6-10.

In OUR favour.

They've kicked 5 goals.

Two reasons: midfield being thrashed by theirs, and Beveridge coaching smartly with the switches.

Our forward line is absolutely pathetic today. No pressure and couldn’t hit the side of a barn

 

Melksham has been disgusting.

  • 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?
