A lot depends on this second half of football

 

Tbh, even though we're up, it just doesn't look like the way we play.

Straight kicking & brilliance from Tracc in Qtr1 was all it was.

Could get ugly this. Let's see.

6-1 in centre clearances St Kildas way. Our midfielder coach is pathetic, can’t remember the last time we won the game from the midfield.

    I don’t know. Why does this happen every week? Because it’s a rinse and repeat pattern. Are our players really too stupid to follow instructions? Are they deaf? Poorly coached? Blind? Dehydrated? Drunk? I mean really I’m an unfit 34 year old who has never played footy in her life and I can see it. Why can’t they? Whoever they are?

    I think it is called coaching. No tactical smarts, you know there is a time and place to attack and a time late in a quarter to be defensive but we don’t have a clue.

    This match us there for the taking.  It simply comes down to who wants it the most.

    This will tell the tale and whether the boys really are playing to win and force their way into the eight.

    If we lose i'm afraid this club will need to take a serious look at things within the FD.

    How the [censored] is a dumb kick by an experienced player and concentration lapse from the mids a second later Goodwin fault!!!

    ffs the anti-coach cult on this site [censored] me.

    Honestly turnovers happen to every team. Even the best teams. They are annoying but it’s a game played by humans who make mistakes. 
    I can forgive that but what I can’t forgive is the same horrible midfield set up that allows opposition to stream forward easily for goals every week. 

     The way this is going it'll be season hopes gone.

    I'm expecting a different ,stronger melbourne comes out after half time.

    But no money on it

    I won't argue that Jones should retire gracefully at the end of the year, but I don't think he's been THAT bad (outside of that absolute shocker of a turnover).

    Sorry Wise, he's been poor. 

    Harmes, surely, can do better in that spot on the ground.


    Lets not panic yet. Yes we squandered a good lead but we are still in yhis. One big 3rd quarter is all we need.

    Up until the horrible turnover, Jones had actually been playing quite well.  Wagner hasn't been too bad either.

    I'll give you Vanders, though.  I'm a fan but he's done nothing tonight other than setting up our third goal of the night.

    Sorry Wise I’m not stalking with all the reply’s but Vanders has been average, at best all season.

    Make that 7-1

    There were plenty of positives with Weed, Brown, Melksham, Spargo, Petracca as well as May and Lever. Let down by midfield and stupid mistakes. Gonna taken big effort from here.


    lol wow

    Oliver has been trash fire in this game. Worst game I've seen him play.

      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?
