Hawkins has a history of “carelessly concussing and otherwise injuring opponents faces and heads. 
Of course “accidental” and the head isn’t really all that sacrosanct all the time. 

any news on Mays' injury??

 
 

Is this the same old Melbourne or have we improved. Cats are severely undermanned. It ours to win no excuses really.

    If we throw away this game we are the same old Melbourne and all supporters might as well switch off for the rest of the season and all future seasons

    Gone to hospital. Whole check/eye looks fractured. Not good.


    How does geelong with less possessions have 30 precent more frees than the other side?

    6 frees more in that qrt made a huge difference.

    Always happens against this yeam. Is it the crowd?

    Goody needs to point out it’s raining and over handballing when not required is silly. We can and should win this. But as always we make it as hard as possible. Cmon dees!!!


    Come on let's change the narrative a bit. It's going to be a workhorse effort

    Let’s see some of that maturity and resilience they keep harping on about.

    surely the review committee will look at this

    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 

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    But we lost our defence structure late in that quarter. For the last smith goal, when we lost the ball we had 3 mids all forward of the contest cheating.   Hopefully Goody resets them at 3 qtr time.

    Some awful decision making / execution that quarter.  The kick from outside 50 on the boundary from Chunk.  Tmac's decision to play on.  Jordan's decision to handball instead of taking the tackle at HF.

    Sprargo's inability to finish at goal earlier.  The kick from Ed on the flank was woeful

    Loved the holding the ball against Oliver in that quarter. It followed about 6 tackles on Geelong players in the same passage of play which were all called a ball up.

    • 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?
