Too many passengers today. Max, Kozzie and Lever the only players on their game. We need more from Oliver, Trac, Viney and Tmac. Ground ball work is sub-par. Not locking the ball into our I50. Come on Spargs and Nibbler.

Jones looks like an old man today. Pains me to say it.

The coaches will earn their wages at half-time. the Hawks will re-group and come out firing again.

A nerve shredder coming up folks

    On the plus side, we couldn't play any worse and are 2 points down.

    The obvious negative being we couldn't play much worse...

    Hibberd is playing well.

    Keeps his spot no doubt next week. In Jetta, Out Petty.

    Our forward pressure which has been a trait of ours this year is almost non-existent.

    What a pack of whingers these Hawthorn supporters are. Every free kick to us is apparently a travesty.
    We are holding up well and haven't allowed them to get off the chain. They have also done a great job in closing the game up. However, we need to get our act together on forward fifty entries. We need to find more run and dash heading in as the pinpoint, lead up game is allowing them to pick us off too easily.

    Not really. The chop of the arms was there. they have paid the obvious ones to us. It’s the 50-50’s that are not being called for us

    14 frees to 6 our way. Multiple goals from frees. Agree with those frees you're talking about but I dont think im that far wide of the mark.

    Lever is amazing and Max is great. Jones and Petty are shocking. Jackson needs to hold his marks. And it would really help they all could kick!

    We seem to have lost that mid to forward connection again! And set shot accuracy!!!

    We seem a bit rattled and the Hawks brought it today. A bit of composure, clean it up in the second half and keep at it, then we should pull away. Need to respond and not drop the heads

    technically it was Hibberd for May, and Fritsch for Petty.

    but i see your point

    2 F50 tackles. No longer doing what has made the difference lately 

    Still time to tidy it up. Viney will come out firing after coping a low blow

    Hopefully he can fire them up

    Hawks are playing just as bad as us the only difference is our poor kicking

    Loving Jackson’s work around the ground. He’ll be unstoppable if he starts clunking marks more consistently.

    Spot on.

    And if Melksham plays like this for another half Ill start writing angry letters to the club again.

    I don’t care if it’s ugly. We just have to win from here. We’re killing ourselves with our skills which are WAY down.

    Legitimate teams win games like this.

    Just need to get it done.

    So May and Fritta are big outs in case anyone was wondering.

    A better quarter than the first at least. Backline just starting to get their [censored] together. Without much confidence I think we’ll get over the line but geeze if we play like this we’re in for a hiding next week.

    Really happy with Hibbo’s game. The biggest positive so far.

    • 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?
