Ok so the entries into the 50 aren't working, what's the plan guys?

One option... Get all players, other than Spargo & Weid, to lead their players to the arc or just outside.  Leave those two with space in front and space behind them for Brown to lead back into. 

Wow O-Mac....5 meters off his man left in no man's land there.  And all players running forward of the ball before that caught out on the turnover.  Ordinary stuff Demons.  Saved by Harmes on that.

    That kick to Weid on the lead sums us up so far - he had two to beat, then they had another to help mop it up.  Where are we at the moment?  If they have so many loose, why aren't we getting more of it?


     

    Thank god for that

    They look flat as a tack and all running kicking forward in straight lines.  Switch or 45 to change the angle of attack and make it harder for the opp to defend


    Nice finish Gus.

    God we needed that.

    They're asleep 

    Lucky goal

    Brayshaw is handy with those snap goals.  ?  Phew.

    Is Kayo an option for you?  Or AFL live pass for a game by game option?

    I feel your pain, I’m not quite sure how I survived before Kayo.  I remember having an AFL live subscription watching the games with my family huddled around my iPad.  

    Yeah Kayo or AFL live pass are options. Just annoys me that we are always expected to pay while other clubs have superior FTA options.

    Zero defensive pressure inside our 50

    That's been the most disappointing thing so far, Moonie.

    We put more pressure on then around the contest and it resulted in a goal.  We need to lift big time in that area.

    Seriously, where is the talk?  Why in the world do we need three going up when Gawn can take the mark?  Ridiculous play.

    • 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?
