We still seem to manage to stuff things up close in to goal. ?

    Cats are down on players but they play such a stodgy brand of footy. They make us look like Carl Lewis

     

    Strange game, we’re dominating around the ground but not converting... where have I heard this before.

    Goody needs to go absolutely bananas at them, they look like they’re taking the mickey with there finishing into the fwd 50.

    Trac has had a bunch of it. Oliver has started better than last week which is good.

    Intensity has been pretty good, we should be further in front though blew some very easy chances.

    Fritsch has made 3 mistakes that all cost us goals. Get those right and we’d be at least 3 in front.

    It’s hard to know how difficult it is to mark the ball, but we just dropped 3-4 marks that would have put us in a much better place.

    Good energy but costly in some ways.

    Should be further in front but at least we're not being jumped and four goals down.

    Great to see the likes of Tmac and Jones really pushing hard. Even Brayshaw seems to be running hard 

    Hope the weather holds and we run them off their feet.

     I hope they have planned for Hawkins rucking in the forward line, he is very dangerous there.

    I repeat.

    Missing Max in the ruck. Jackson back to ff please.

    Langdon is an out and out champion as is Trac.

    Sharpen skills please Lever and May.

    Jv needs to lift. Started well.

    Kozzie to start kicking goals.

    2.4 to 1.1

    Wasting our chances again just like the first three rounds.  Jack Viney 2 behinds, come on you are supposed to be a leader

    At least we did not give up a goal at the death. Very un Melbourne like.

    We have to take our opportunities. To many easy dropped marks & fumbles. Viney should be kicking those goals. 

    We also have to man up so Geelong can't play this slow game where they chip it around

    • 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?
