How many goals do we gift in the last few seconds of quarters?

 This needs to be fixed in 2021. 

Yeah along with about 100 other things that happen every week under Goodwin

    Smith in the backline is a joke. Seriously. He has no idea. 

    The 2% chance we play finals, he has to not be there.

    If i was Woosha I'd put Joe in the ruck for the rest of the match. Really screw up his groin. That would be a great "F you!" to the bombers as he leaves

    Well that was one of the most woeful quarters of football I've ever seen. 

    Both teams just spinning their wheels and probably will be for the forseeable future.

    May giving Smith an absolute bake then.

    Good. As he should. He was [censored] asleep. He totally lost his opponent there. Inexcusable. 
    If Omac did that people would be calling for blood.

    Weideman not the answer I'm afraid, not strong enough in the contest.

    The Smith experiment is over. He's absolutely not a backman, and I'm yet to be convinced he's a footballer at all. Athelete maybe, footballer no.

    playing a side that is demoralized, playing poorly and we still cannot put them away.

     

    Ugh another goal on the siren.

    Luckily we have a good lead. But we need to play like we did in that 2nd quarter. 

    Funny reading comments online from essendon fans that are saying how well mitch brown is playing and how essendon de listed him and they get stuck with daniher who has done nothing.

    • 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?
