Is the post game thread open yet?

Why not just go to "is Goodwin the right guy?"

    Who's responsible for getting the team to perform?

    The coaches don't coach for arm tackles, kicking on someone's head, not chasing

    It's always easy to blame the coaches, they are sent out with a game plan, up to now the players have failed to execute it

    The only 2 who can hold head up at the moment are Langdon and Tomlinson

    On the bright side guys, Sydney will jump Hawks on the ladder so our draft pick we get off them will be one pick higher now.

     

     

    You know you’ve stuffed up selections when O Mac gets sent to full forward just to stay out of the way.

    Bad night for Sydney to pull out their best performance for the year.

    They always pull out their best effort against us.  Very much our bogey side.

    So who’s let the supporters down then? Elaborate. 

    How we start this quarter will be everything.

    Start fast and we're in it. Let Sydney continue to park the bus or concede a goal and we're [censored].

    I turned off the game at half time. I literally can’t remember the last time I did that if ever. 

    gutted

    wind has dropped substantially from the first quarter

    clutching at straws

    How so? 

    But even then, even if no breeze, we kicked a solitary goal in a whole quarter, which is poor.

    And I guess if the breeze has dropped, there should be no impediment to us kicking 4 in the final quarter, right?

    I know I'm totally up for 2 hours of elite athletic performance after 5 hours of flights and airport transfers. 

    Exactly my point. What a great preparation for a game.

    Langdon the only bloke that's played the first three quarters

    Christ, we painfully inch the ball fwd around the boundary - Syd get it to their 50 with a couple of kicks down the spine.  Ugh.

    Many of us called him to be dropped.

    Bizarre coaching selection once again that he was kept in the side against a more nimble forward line.

    Fritta is awful 

    Honestly should be traded. He is soooo soft and scared of any physicality, goes missing way too often and only bobs up with 1 or 2 when things are said and done. Woeful kicking skills and gets very little of it.

    • 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?
