    Lever solid? He's been the worst on ground.

    Actually watch the game Dub....

    Lever has been solid in 1v1s. His spoiling has been particularly good.

    His turn over kick before was horrendous and turned the play. 

    But for the rest of the game, I'd agree that he's been one of our better contributors.

    Disagree.

    His turnover cost us a goal, and it was a shocker.

    But he hasn't been beaten one on one, taken a few intercept marks and made plenty of important spoils.  Far from our worst.

    Melksham and Viney on the other hand...

    Viney, Fritter, Spargo, ANB, AVB doing very little. Desperately need some/all to lift in 2nd half

    They are having a go, i agree. and its a good response, but leaders continually make mad decisions it doesnt help. the 4 in our leadership team have been awful.

    Footy is a game of split seconds. Sometimes they just male the wrong decision

    Applies to umpires too

     

    The appalling umpiring is enough to drain any hope of getting a 'fair go' on the football field. Especially when you see a thug like Mumford receive free kicks and get away with what the commentators drool over as 'big hits'. ?

    Sorry lads I have to disagree. He's been no different Joel Smith tonight in terms of spoiling.


    Would swap Weid with May.  I just can't see us kicking a winning score with Weid at FF.  We'll most likely lose anyways.

    Time to flip them around and just have Weid defend as best he can across CHB.  Lever to FB.  Hide Smith on a flank.

    Lets take it up to them by playing May across CHF and clunk a few marks or bring the ball to ground for Kozzy and Spargs.

    We simply must trade Fritta & Melk at years end.  Both go missing for far too long and far too often in matches.

    Where's Lockhart gone.  He has to be carrying something surely.  Just can't see how Nev gets a game ahead otherwise.

    Such abetter effort tonight so far

    Anyone got one of those online defibrillators.

    Honestly I don't feel well.

    That's probably because I just a couple of glasses labelled "Romsey Manor"

    Is that a real winery or one of those fortified jobs?

    Just checked the fine print... WARNING- it has chemicals added and "may contain fragments of grape material"

    But I love the nutty aroma. Reminds me of the last time my old Dad sprayed Roundup - and forgot the water.

    I wish he was here

    He plays like a millionaire. Doesn’t do the basics anymore which is what he did so well in his debut season. Has put his feet up after signing a contract. 

    We need to sign players up on shorter deals and keep them driven to excel.

    Ling you are a dead set [censored]. [censored] off and don’t come back. [censored].

    ANB then with a soft piece of play.  Jumped up then packed his pants and handpassed it to no one.

    • 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?
